This short novel by Lisa Hinsley is a truly horrific and disturbing read.It's a detailed, haunting account of a family's descent into the grasp of Bubonic Plague. She does a masterful job in depicting how parents Jonny and Liz cope with their son Nathan's disease which is sweeping Britain and causing people to be quarantined in their own homes. Will Jonny and Liz be next to come down with this awful contagion?PLAGUE is not for the faint of heart though or those with queasy stomachs. Hypochondriacs beware!Like many of Stephen King's novels, the horror is in the mundane details of what happens in that boarded up prison while the family tries to cope. There appears to be no hope, only desperation. This book is a gripping story that I couldn't put down and read in two sittings.It's horrifying, but a masterful job by a gifted author.
