Review: dark and horrific
Rating: 5 out of 5

This novella is one of the 'what if' category of dark, horrific stories I so enjoy. It's not a comfortable read but it makes you wonder what you would do, how you would cope, in those cirumstances. A new strain of bubonic plague is wiping out the whole of Britain though initially the government assures people it is contained in the south. Gradually everything, internet, phone, eventually water, are cut off and the little family of 3 is left to its own devices.It's not a happy story but it ends with a little uplift of hope. I really enjoyed this. I had a little niggle at a repeated grammatical error but I still found the book sufficiently engaging that I can award 5 stars. Excellent.
