Juno Reads HORROR - October 23rd
We are back on 23rd October at Juno Books, 7pm, for book two of the horror book club's spooky double month.
Zone One by Colson Whitehead
"A pandemic has devastated the planet, sorting humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead.
After the worst of the plague is over, armed forces stationed in Chinatown’s Fort Wonton have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street—aka Zone One. Mark Spitz is a member of one of the three-person civilian sweeper units tasked with clearing lower Manhattan of the remaining feral zombies. Zone One unfolds over three surreal days in which Spitz is occupied with the mundane mission of straggler removal, the rigors of Post-Apocalyptic Stress Disorder (PASD), and the impossible task of coming to terms with a fallen world. And then things start to go terribly wrong…
At once a chilling horror story and a literary novel by a contemporary master, Zone One is a dazzling portrait of modern civilization in all its wretched, shambling glory."
Content warnings: gore, death, murder, gun violence, cannibalism, suicide, war, animal death, child death, vomit and sexual assault. (storygraph lists sexual assault as minor but we haven't read the book yet so can't comment)
Your ticket includes:
A copy of the book
Entry on 23rd October
Please note that you need to pick up your book order from Juno Books, or add on postage at the checkout if you wish to have your book sent out to you.
