About the book: 2010 / A bastard hybrid of "War of the Worlds" and "Night of the Living Dead", "Autumn" chronicles the struggle of a small group of survivors forced to contend with a world torn apart by a deadly illness. After 99% of the planet's population is killed in less than 24 hours, things will get much worse for those few who managed to stay alive. Revived by the “second phase” of some unknown infection, the dead begin to rise again. At first slow, blind, mute and clumsy, the bodies quickly regain their most basic senses and abilities... sight, hearing, movement... As well as the instinct for aggression and violence. Constrained only by the limitations of their rapidly decaying flesh, the dead seem to have only one goal - to destroy the only ones left in the silent, lifeless world: those who survived the plague, who now number 1 in 1,000,000... Never using the N-word " Z", "Autumn" offers a new take on the traditional zombie story. There is no flesh-eating, no fast-moving corpses, no blood for blood's sake. Combining the atmosphere and tone of George Romero's classic Living Dead films with the approach and re-imagining of 28 Days (and Weeks) Later, this horrifying and disturbing novel is filled with unrelenting, cold, dark fear....
