How many survived the zombie apocalypse?

Where do the living hide in a city of the dead?

Who controls the streets of London?

B Smith is setting out to explore...

"A clever mix of horror, fantasy and realism... gripping" (The Telegraph) "Will make readers think as well as gag... a lean, punchy tale" (SFX) "Gory and exciting" (The Bookbag) "Darren Shan's most ambitious work yet. Brilliantly plotted, he has breathed new life into the zombie phenomenon" (Red House) "I loved it from beginning to end... I wanted to hug and throttle Darren Shan at the same time for his sheer deviousness and audacity" (Bookzone for Boys) "A great gory read that's sure to entertain and chill" (Bookbitz) "Character development is impressive for a relatively short book, and Shan executes the transition from normalcy to wholesale terror masterfully." (Publishers Weekly) "Shan's baaa-aaaack... A series opener to sink your teeth into" (Kirkus Reviews) "A slice of superior teenage horror, with at least on gasp-inducing twist to keep readers hooked." (Worcester News) "Shan has hit a home run and proved that he truly is the master of YA horror... ridiculously smart" (Writing from the Tub)"
