The Last 21

By Donald Morrison

Book Overview

The first scream had torn through a university hallway when a patient-fevered, delirious, already rotting-sank his teeth into a student's arm and ripped until blood flooded the tile. A week later, an entire classroom's cries were drowned out by the crunch of gnashing jaws and the sickening tear of bone pulled clean. Now, every sunrise brought a fresh atrocity. Hospitals turned into feeding grounds. Suburbs became hunting territories. With each infection, with each mutilated corpse rising again, the outbreak devoured another piece of the United States. No one knew who would be torn apart next. No one could predict where horror would surface. But one thing had become undeniable: as the sickness spread, fear spread faster. At night, when streets fell silent, you could hear them-ragged breaths like broken machines, teeth grinding in empty dark, moans that almost sounded like words begging to be let in. And everywhere... the sloppy footprints of the newly dead, tracking blood across doorsteps and living rooms alike-proof that their hunger would never end. Illustrated by Deanna Ray, the Last 21 by Donald Morrison captures the final days of a nation's fall-twenty-one brutal chapters, twenty-one snapshots of civilization rotting from the inside out... until the living had nowhere left to run.
