About this item
Its the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside wont stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesnt sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, shes failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up.

But as the days crawl by, the motivations for survival change in startling ways and soon the groups fate is determined less and less by whats happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life--and death--inside.
