A propulsive and chillingly prescient pandemic novel of suspense and terror from the Bram Stoker award–winning author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts.
“Absolutely riveting.” — Stephen King
In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious rabies-like virus that is spread by saliva. But unlike rabies, the disease has a terrifyingly short incubation period of an hour or less. Those infected quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they inevitably succumb. Hospitals are inundated with the sick and dying, and hysteria has taken hold. To try to limit its spread, the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew. But society is breaking down and the government's emergency protocols are faltering.
Dr. Ramola "Rams" Sherman, a soft-spoken pediatrician in her mid-thirties, receives a frantic phone call from Natalie, a friend who is eight months pregnant. Natalie's husband has been killed—viciously attacked by an infected neighbor—and in a failed attempt to save him, Natalie, too, was bitten. Natalie's only chance of survival is to get to a hospital as quickly as possible to receive a rabies vaccine. In a desperate race against time, the clock is ticking for her and for her unborn child.
Natalie’s fight for life becomes a desperate odyssey as she and Rams make their way through a hostile landscape filled with dangers beyond their worst nightmares—terrifying, strange, and sometimes deadly challenges that push them to the brink.
Paul Tremblay once again demonstrates his mastery in this chilling and all-too-plausible medical thriller that will leave readers racing through the pages . . . and shake them to their core.

Modern zombie (?) apocalypse
Normally when looking for horror books I don't really look for zombie stories. The trope is overused and there is rarely something new that the media wants to discuss. But Paul Tremblay's "Survivor Song" entertained me so much. It's basically about two women, one of them pregnant and infected, and their journey to hopeful safety. The "zombies" (I use the quotation marks consciously here) are great and interesting and the novel asks questions about humanity and morality that I haven't seen before in such a scenario. In general I thought that it had a modern twist on the zombie apocalypse scenario which felt hopefull yet hopeless at the same time which kept me engaged. It wasn't as creepy or gruesome as I would've liked it to be but it was still enjoyable. The prose especially felt very remeniscent of Stephen King but I personally prefer Paul Tremblay!
