    About this audiobook

    There are monsters in this world. And they used to be us. Now it's time to euthanize, to survive in a hospice where Emily, a woman haunted by her past, only wants to do her job and be the best mother possible.


    Post-infection Chicago. Christmas. Inside The Hospice, Emily and her fellow nurses do their rounds. Here, men and women live out their final days in comfort, segregated from society, and are then humanely terminated before fate turns them into marrow-craving monsters known as "Smilers". Outside these imposing walls, rabid protesters swarm with signs, caught up in the heat of their hatred.


    Emily, a woman haunted by her past, only wants to do her job and be the best mother possible. But in a world where mortality means nothing, where guns are drawn in fear and nobody seems safe anymore - at what cost will this pursuit come? And through it all, the soon to be dead remain silent, ever smiling. Such is their curse.


    This emotional, political novel comes from two of horror’s freshest voices, and puts a new spin on an eternal topic: the undead. In the spirit of George A Romero meets Jack Ketchum, Where the Dead Go to Die it is an unforgettable epilogue to the zombie genre, one that will leave you shaken and questioning right from wrong...even when it’s the only right left.


    It won't be long before that snow-speckled ground will be salted by blood.

      Ahhh! The mixed emotions of finishing a book and wanting to curse out the authors, stand up and applaud, and laugh because your body needs to respond but nothing seems like an appropriate reaction.

      Very well written a new concept with great narration. I think almost too short, I wanted more. Great depictions/horror with captivating dialogs. The character development , for its size was very strong. It gave you everything, emotions, visuals, cringes and for me a desire for it not end. Loved it.

      This was clever, heart-breaking, and unique. I've never thought of a hospice for people infected with the zombie virus before. It really made me think, would we as a society try for something like this if zombies were real and the virus took as long to turn you as it does in this novel? Or would we kill everyone infected out of fear because they can spread it through more than just a bite before they turn?
      Overall I really enjoyed this story however, the ending was a little lacking in my opinion which is why I rated this 4 stars.
