One day. That's all it took. One day for the world to end. When Hugh Harriat, a socially awkward, minimum wage fry cook, narrowly escapes death at the hands of the black-eyed, manic creatures people across town are rapidly turning into, he thinks he's safe. But in this new world, no one is safe, and Harriat soon finds himself the sole carer of two children, with nothing but a ragtag group of survivors on his side against the creatures, criminals, rogue gangs, detached cults and all the other horrors the new world has in store for them. With the odds piled against their favour, who will make it out alive? Cover by xxFanFicPrincessxx
