Those Who Are Left

For fans of Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Dean Koontz...

Thinking back to when everything changed, Derrick can never pinpoint if it was the pickaxe swinging toward his own face that alerted him or if he knew moments earlier when he saw the weapon hurtle toward the barn cat. Either way, he quickly realized that the man he was facing-a farm employee he knew well-was not only no longer a friend, he wasn't even human any more.

An apocalyptic tale that surprises you with humor when it's not terrifying you with horror, Those Who Are Left follows Derrick as he and two strangers venture through the major cities of the South in search of family and safety. But not all the human factions can be trusted, and if the trio can't figure out what's driving the different groups they could end up with enemies on all sides.

But even in a chaotic world of murderous screamers and posturing humans, there's always time to play a few games of bowling before the slaughter begins...right?
