One Yellow Eye by Leigh Radford
‘Compulsively readable’OLIVIE BLAKE, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six and Masters of Death Full of heartbreak, revulsion and black humour, a scientist desperately searches for a cure to a zombie virus while also hiding a monumental secret – her undead husband. Kesta’s husband Tim was the last person to be bitten in a zombie pandemic. The country is now in a period of respite, the government seemingly having rounded up and disposed of all the infected. But Kesta has a secret . . . Tim may have been bitten, but he’s not quite dead yet. In fact, he’s tied to a bed in her spare room. And she’s made him a promise: find a cure, bring him back. A scientist by day, Kesta juggles intensive work under the microscope alongside Tim’s care, slipping him stolen drugs to keep him docile, knowing she is hiding the only zombie left. But Kesta is running out of drugs – and time. Can she save her husband before he is discovered? Or worse . . . will they trigger another outbreak? ‘Darkly comedic, gruesome and compassionate’ ASHLEY TATE, bestselling author of Twenty Seven Minutes
Compulsively readableA propulsive, page-turning descent into all that is lovely and grotesque about grief, obsession and love -- Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six and Masters of Death
An equally charming and grim zombie novel about undying love. Every page simmers with exquisite dread. Original and smart and heartfelt, an unmissable debut that blends and transcends genre -- Rachel Harrison, bestselling author of So Thirsty and Black Sheep
Witty, propulsive and heartbreaking. Radford’s dark, zombie love-story is intelligent and refreshing -- Rebecca Netley, author of The Whistling
You wouldn't expect a zombie novel to have so much to say about love. Radford's suspenseful One Yellow Eye is driven by various fears – the fear of a virus that could return to rip the world apart, the fear of a terrible wrongdoing being discovered – but in the end the zombies take a backseat to the greatest horror of all: losing the one closest to our heart -- Mason Coile, author of William
Complex and utterly brilliant, One Yellow Eye had me in a chokehold from the first word to the last as I was swept up into Kesta and Tim’s harrowing journey, navigating the fine line between love and selfishness; grief and obsession. Leigh Radford has created a genre all her own (fitting for a tale about zombies) that was darkly comedic, gruesome and compassionate – to say I absolutely loved this beautifully macabre story is an understatement -- Ashley Tate, bestselling author of Twenty Seven Minutes
