発行者による作品情報
THE WORLD IS GONE. THE DEAD ARE WALKING. HER DAUGHTER IS MISSING.
Cass Dollar vaguely recalls surviving something terrible. Around her is barren wasteland where cities once stood. Her body is ravaged. Her daughter has disappeared. Her eyes are unwilling to believe what they see… People turned hungry for human flesh by a government experiment gone wrong.
Packs of cannibalistic Beaters prowl the desolate landscape. Everyone is out for their own survival. There are no rules. No morals. No hope. And for Cass, with a body scarred by a zombie attack, the nightmare has only just begun.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Littlefield (A Bad Day for Pretty) turns what could be just another zombie apocalypse into a thoughtful and entertaining exploration of many themes, including genetic engineering, social collapse, and motherhood. Cass, a young mother and recovering alcoholic, awakens filthy and gashed in the California wilderness, with no memory of the past several weeks. She believes she's eaten a plant that turns its victims into Beaters, or zombies; her recovery is inexplicable. An enigmatic, charismatic man named Smoke agrees to escort her for the last stretch of her journey home to find her daughter, and what begins as a four-mile hike through Beater-infested terrain becomes an odyssey through fragments of civilization devastated by war, plague, and anarchy. Littlefield has a gift for pacing, her adroit and detailed world-building going down easy amid page-turning action and evocative, sensual, harrowing descriptions that bring every paragraph of this thriller to life.
