Autumn Books in Order

A disease kills almost the entire population within a day, leaving scattered survivors in a silent world. When the corpses begin moving and gradually recover their senses, the living must adapt to an increasingly aggressive threat.

Survivors shelter in an underground military base as growing masses of reanimated corpses gather above them. Blocked ventilation threatens their refuge, and an attempt to clear the bodies forces the trapped community into direct conflict with the dead.

A handful of survivors hide in a ruined city after a devastating disease kills billions. As the infection's consequences become clearer, the arrival of soldiers introduces another uncertainty: whether armed newcomers offer rescue or further danger.

This collection follows numerous ordinary people through the catastrophe of the Autumn series. Lovers, office workers, rebels and others survive the initial disease by chance, then face the terrifying practical and emotional demands of a world overrun by corpses.

Forty days after the catastrophe, one group survives by violently attacking the dead while another relies on careful planning. Circumstances force them together, testing incompatible approaches as overwhelming numbers of corpses threaten their remaining chance of survival.

Refugees shelter in a medieval castle while the dead besiege them and winter approaches. Another survivor group offers a radically different way of living, creating divisions over whether to rebuild familiar society or abandon its old assumptions.
