<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A propulsive and chillingly prescient novel of suspense and terror from the Bram Stoker award-winning author of <em>The Cabin at the End of the World</em> and <em>A Head Full of Ghosts.</em></strong></p><p><strong>"Absolutely riveting." -- Stephen King</strong></p><p>In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious rabies-like virus that is spread by saliva. But unlike rabies, the disease has a terrifyingly short incubation period of an hour or less. Those infected quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they inevitably succumb. Hospitals are inundated with the sick and dying, and hysteria has taken hold. To try to limit its spread, the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew. But society is breaking down and the government's emergency protocols are faltering.</p><p>Dr. Ramola Rams Sherman, a soft-spoken pediatrician in her mid-thirties, receives a frantic phone call from Natalie, a friend who is eight months pregnant. Natalie's husband has been killed--viciously attacked by an infected neighbor--and in a failed attempt to save him, Natalie, too, was bitten. Natalie's only chance of survival is to get to a hospital as quickly as possible to receive a rabies vaccine. The clock is ticking for her and for her unborn child.</p><p>Natalie's fight for life becomes a desperate odyssey as she and Rams make their way through a hostile landscape filled with dangers beyond their worst nightmares--terrifying, strange, and sometimes deadly challenges that push them to the brink. </p><p>Paul Tremblay once again demonstrates his mastery in this chilling and all-too-plausible novel that will leave readers racing through the pages . . . and shake them to their core.</p><br/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A cinematic scope, scenarios grounded in the real world, and a breathless pace make this thriller one of the must-read titles of the summer. A prescient, insidious horror novel that takes sheer terror to a whole new level."--<em>Kirkus Reviews </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>The vividly drawn characters of Ramola and Natalie give the story an uncommon emotional intensity. This is genuinely hard to put down.--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>Tremblay has earned worldwide acclaim because he is able to seamlessly combine reality with speculative elements, and his newest may be his most prescient yet. . . . Gorgeously written about terrible things, the relatively short <em>Survivor Song</em> is a good choice for fans of pandemic epics . . . and novels that probe themes of friendship, family, and social commentary amidst chillingly realistic horror.--<em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>Absolutely riveting. I haven't been able to put it down.--Stephen King<br><br><em>Survivor Song</em> is a small horror story. A personal one. A fast and terrible one that is committed beautifully to the page. . . . It exists in a pandemic world where all choices are bad ones. Where things unravel faster than you can possibly believe. Where happy endings are transactional: they come with a cost. Because <em>Survivor Song</em> isn't a fairy tale. It's a horror story.--NPR<br><br><em>Survivor Song</em> will leave emotional trenches in your heart long after you've finished trying to ugly-cry and read at the same time. . . . A gift to readers right here, right now.--<em>Cemetery Dance</em><br><br>For the past few years, Paul Tremblay has been setting the standard for modern horror. His genius is that he never forgets the core of a great horror novel resides first in its characters. In <em>Survivor Song</em>, he revitalizes the zombie novel by keeping the focus narrow and intimate: two women, in the space of a few hours, just trying to get across town. The result is heartfelt and terrifying, in a narrative that moves like a bullet train.--Nathan Ballingrud, author of <em>North American Lake Monsters</em> and <em>Wounds</em><br><br>Inventive... an emotional punch... There is plenty here traditional zombie fans will recognize and enjoy." --<em>Boston Globe</em><br><br>Tremblay is an undeniably skillful writer. The sentences are lean where they need to be, decorative where they need to be. . . . He knows how to drive the story forward, while affording it a layer of linguistic color." --<em>New York Times</em><br><br>"[F]resh and surprising. <em>Survivor Song</em> may be one of Tremblay's best - beautifully detailed, viscerally frightening, and deep with emotional resonance."--Dan Chaon, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Ill Will</em><br>
