Lost among the Dead Stephen Charlick

The world has died. Mothers have died. Fathers have died. Brothers, sisters, loved ones and friends, they have all fallen to the unholy plague that has swept across the globe; and yet as the newly risen Dead they still walked, they still searched and worst of all they still mindlessly fed. In this new dark world no survivor has been left untouched by the bloody madness that has ripped humanity apart, no heart left unbroken and no mind left un-fractured by pain and loss; but still Man endures, somehow. So it is in this living nightmare that three such survivors, Tom, Fran and Kai, slowly make their way through the English countryside, wondering tirelessly in search of their missing friends, in search of a safe haven and for one of them, in search of a fading and slipping sanity. But despite the glimmer of hope that briefly blossoms in the darkness around them, in their own way, each of them already know that when the Dead come to feed it does not matter where you are, how well you can defend yourself or who you can find to hold you close in the night, you are still lost; you are the 'Lost among the Dead'.
