Why read it?

Sarah Lyons Fleming writes exceptional zombie apocalypse fiction.
I love her masterful characterization, the struggles beyond zombies she explores, and the human dramas that unfold.

Unlike much post-apocalyptic fiction, Fleming avoids the "suddenly turning on your neighbors" trope—while people can be jerks or even evil, her approach feels more nuanced.
It was hard to choose which series to recommend because they're all great, but her Cascadia series is truly special. With well-drawn characters, gripping plots, superior storytelling, realistic relationships, and harrowing zombie encounters, Fleming's books demand rereading.…
