"An outbreak turns people into zombie-like killing machines in this scary yet emotionally astute, provocative, and heartbreaking dystopian horror novel. "
Chilling and thought-provoking with dark flashes of humour peppering the pages, this novel reveals a possible future that is in fact, scary as heck. While the country believes the last zombie is dead, scientist Kesta is desperate to find a cure for her own husband turned zombie Tim, who is being kept chained up in her spare room. Author Leigh Radford has created a story that feels all too believable even as it ventures into the depths of horror with an attack of flesh-eating zombies. This tale blasts open the fear, grief, and devastation felt by those affected by a pandemic or terminal illness. It also highlights the most profound lows and highs of relationships, and questions how far you would go for those you love. The virus itself is truly hideous which ensures a strange level of tension, the need to eradicate the zombies is pitched against the love felt for those who have been infected. I ached, positively ached for the obsessive Kesta, though I’m not sure I would want her as my next door neighbour. This is more than just horror, it’s both clever and heartbreaking and so has been chosen as a Liz Pick of the Month. With a unique take on zombies, One Yellow Eye, is a compelling and haunting dystopian horror novel.
