Hyenas

Michael Sellars

Horror

"Sellars evokes both classic literature and classic horror in this post-apocalyptic debut novel... genuinely frightening... exhilarating... and a stirring addition to the zombie canon." - Kirkus Reviews

Five months ago, the apocalyptic ‘Jolt’ turned the majority of humankind into the atavistic savages 27-year-old Jay Garvey calls ‘Hyenas’ on account of their insane, shrieking laughter.

A terrified Jay is tempted from his bolthole in a Liverpool book shop when he learns the whereabouts of the only boat that hasn’t been scuttled by the deranged militia leader known as Sergeant Pepper.

As a brutal winter closes in, Jay, and the small band of survivors he collects along the way, must avoid death and capture to take advantage of this single, slim window of escape.
