🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Craig DiLouie
The Infection is a post-apocalyptic horror story with a unique twist. This is a character-driven story where the author takes time to detail all characters without halting the action. The tale is also incredibly engrossing, and you will find yourself pacing as you rush to see what is on the next page. It is amazing how DiLouse keeps the tension rising throughout the story. Do not be surprised if you find it hard to put the book down until you have read it to the end. Fortunately, it is just about 280 pages long and can be gobbled up in a single sitting. Given the average amount of blood present in the human body, it starts becoming clear that blood will soon be a rare commodity. Every child needs about one and a half-pint of blood to last three hours.
