Why read it?

1 author picked Autumn as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Autumn is a two-stage apocalypse story that spills out the horror of the world ending from a mysterious infection, followed up by a second, species-crushing wave of terror as the dead return to life to finish the job the infection began.

It’s filled with beautiful imagery and characters with depth and runs into a six-book series.

From Chris' list on zompoc (zombie + apocalypse).
