World War Z by Max Brooks

“I loved listening to the audiobook because of the cast with all the accents made it feel pretty realistic” – Jessica, IT

The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.

Night Shift by Stephen King

“I am a slow reader and I sometimes bore from novels so I loved that this was many stories in one that I could read start to end in one sitting.

I also love getting those creepy feelings that I do from scary story telling!” – Jill, Circulation
