It would seem that nothing is more terrible than losing loved ones. But as it turned out, their return in the guise of bloodthirsty creatures is even worse. Just yesterday, relatives, neighbors, lovers, and coworkers were living an ordinary human life. And today they roam through the cities, driven by hunger and the desire to devour human flesh.
The novel takes place in a provincial town, Izhevsk. The locals were luckier than Muscovites: the horrific consequences of the epidemic reached Izhevsk much later. And people learned about the bloodthirsty creatures only a few days before they swarmed the streets of their beloved city. That means the residents of Izhevsk had time to properly prepare for an encounter with zombies. Good thing there’s no shortage of weapons in Izhevsk, and there will be enough ammunition for everyone.
