Unemployed John Pope has been spending his time drinking, and generally wasting his life away ever since he had lost his job. A walk to the shops makes him realise that suddenly the world has turned into a macabre place, something he has only seen in the movies.
It appears that there is a zombie outbreak in England and John takes a while to realise that this is no joke.
John meets up with Clare Conway and Kelly Barrett, people he has taken in, and they spend a few days in John's home, knowing that sooner or later, the zombies will come. But what will they do then? And will they try and find new pastures, somewhere safer?
I thought this was a decent read. The story flows well and wraps up into a neat little package. If you like apocalyptic stories, I don't think this one disappoints. I only wish there had been some kind of info on how the infection originated. All in all though, good read.
