BALANCE, by Peter Giglio

Balance, by Peter Giglio

THE BLAST

A worldwide snowstorm that brings with it a terminal virus.

THE DEAD

Rise!

But something deep within hasn’t died. The thing they loved most when alive still burns bright, at odds with a predacious hunger they can’t control or understand.

GEOFF and AMANDA

Have survived The Blast.

The bad news: 650 miles of treacherous, zombie infested road separates them.

And time is running out for Amanda!

I just finished reading this epic novella, and absolutely loved it! You get to see what happens to the mind of people when they are faced with a devastated world. And to up the ante, the zombies in this story aren't your garden variety. There is something inside of the walking dead, something from their former lives that thuds deep within their psyche. For some, an overwhelming desire to continue life, with only the need for human flesh being any kind of change. For others, true love still lingers.

But, as they continue on, they slowly lose the humanity.

No matter how strong their will for a normal life is, the insuppressible urge to feed on the living dominates.

The world is no longer the same.

For civilization, for those who survive, and for the dead.

But above all, everything finds balance in this world of the dead.
