I still can't stop thinking about this book and the ultimate ramifications of how it ended...if you like stories that show how society can devolve into utter chaos...100% recommend!!

One day all the children in the world drop dead. As the world reels from this and puts together a mass burial plan, the children come back but with an appetite for blood. What would you do to save the ones you love?
A thought provoking, disturbing twist on vampire mythology. As the parents try to provide the blood their children need, society breaks down. The real horror here is the humans, how they descend into primal compulsions and violent feral behaviour to protect their children, is frightening and so rapid.
The children themselves are creepy and the loss of human compassion and empathy in all is a terrifying glimpse of the world ending. This is apocalyptic and asks the question, how far would you go to save your children?
