Animated by "phase two" of some unknown contagion, the dead begin to rise. At first slow, blind, dumb and lumbering, the bodies soon regain their most basic senses and abilities--sight, hearing, locomotion--as well as the instinct toward aggression and violence. Held back only by the restraints of their rapidly decomposing flesh, the dead seem to have only one single goal--to lumber forth and destroy the sole remaining attraction in the silent, lifeless world: those who have survived the plague, who now find themselves outnumbered 1,000,000 to 1... In Autumn: Purification, the heroes from the original Autumn novel and Autumn: The City work together to survive in this horrifying new world. Without ever using the 'Z' word, the Autumn series offers a new perspective on the traditional zombie story. There's no flesh eating, no fast-moving corpses, no gore for gore's sake. Combining the atmosphere and tone of a George Romero film with the attitude and awareness of 28 Days Later, this horrifying and suspenseful novel is filled with relentless cold, dark fear"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Zombies $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Survival $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Regression (Civilization) $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Communicable diseases $x Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926013657.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20111001013646.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1A77291AEBF311E08310657B6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
