Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book by one of my favorite authors. This in no way reflects in my review.

Actual review: 4.5/5 stars

I probably shouldn't have read this novella right before/during my infusion, but it was a perfect timing. The story is short - 128 pages - and primarily felt like a set up for a larger world. Anti-vaccination is no joke, and it is going to cause some serious issues to herd immunizations at some point. Will it be a Morris disease that takes so much of the world population, while leaving those who are left unable to take care of themselves?

Really, this book is documentation with a small narrative weaved through out. It appears to be similar to how her Mermaid book was set up - Into the Drowning Deep. I do hope it leads to a serious or a full novel. Either way, I'm terrified even more so of what our bodies and the viruses are going to do, as I sit wiping mine out.

It's not a zombie story, nor is it a full dystopian novella. It's the middle of an epidemic and what happens to those still alive having to make touch decisions.
