What to expect
Besieged and attacked, a mother and her children must escape a postapocalyptic nightmare world of cannibals and betrayal.
Jack Murphy thought he'd found the perfect escape for his family from a world gone horribly mad. He thought wrong. Matthew Costello's Home begins mere minutes after the terrible sacrifice Jack made to save his family at Paterville Camp in Vacation. Barely escaping, Jack's wife, Christie, and two children, Kate and Simon, must accept that their lives and their future have changed forever.
In this intimate and human survivalist horror story, the three of them will face even greater dangers, as well as yet-unknown horrors, to simply stay alive as together they search for a road "home" in this intense and original postapocalyptic thriller.
Critics Review
-
“Costello creates a sense of urgency and fatigue as Christie tries to protect her family. He wastes no time with extraneous detail but keeps the pages turning with action and emotion that rings true. Readers need not have read the previous book, as this one works well by itself, but those who enjoy it will probably turn to more from the author.”
Library Journal
-
“The book is a neat twist on the zombie theme, and the story moves at a brisk clip, with plenty of mayhem.”
