![]() ![]() ![]() One of the first things that I will say about this novel is that it is a really gripping, atmospheric and innovative zombie novel with excellent characterisation □ It’s a little bit like a cross between Jonathan Maberry’s “ Dead Of Night“, Dana Fredsti’s “ Plague Town” and Melissa Marr’s “ The Arrivals“, whilst also being somewhat different in tone and style to pretty much every other zombie and/or post-apocalyptic novel I’ve read. Still shaken by everything that has happened, Jenni remembers that her stepson Jason is at summer camp in the nearby woods. When they reach a petrol station, the attendant hasn’t heard about the zombies and mistakes them for thieves.īut, soon after they fill up the truck, the zombies begin to arrive at the station. The two survivors, Jenni and Katie, decide to leave the city and head to the safety of the surrounding countryside. After seeing her husband and sons turn into zombies, Jenni barely manages to escape her house before being rescued by a mysterious woman in a pick-up truck. ![]() The novel begins in an unnamed Texan city during a zombie apocalypse. This is the 2011 Tor (US) paperback edition of “The First Days” that I read. ![]()
