ABOUT THE BOOK: Sloane Price knows there are worse things than the end of the world, so when the zombie apocalypse happens, the opportunity to escape her violent homelife offers no relief. She’s already lost the one thing that matters most—her sister—and now seems like the perfect time to give up. But when she inadvertently ends up barricaded in her high school with five other teens, their volatile bids for survival force a series of impossible decisions. As the days creep by and the dead close in, Sloane must confront everything she thought she knew about life, death, survival, and sacrifice and, once and for all, make a choice. Now a major motion picture directed by Adam MacDonald and starring Olivia Holt, in theatres 2026. brought to you by charlotte strick's electric eye! & including a little peek at just some of the beautiful blurbs it's received. I'll be sharing/highlighting them and their incredibly generous and kind authors properly in a future post but for now: 🥲❤️ * 🫶
