But Will is a haunted man, driven to risk his life in pursuit of his art, which leads him to a near-fatal encounter with a polar bear. But Fate hasn't finished with him - while in a coma he remembers and relives a seminal event in his childhood; an encounter with ancient, terrible forces which revealed to him the mystery at the heart of nature.

In the near future, a desperate and ever-more controlling UK government attempts to restore a sense of national pride with a New Festival of Britain. But construction work on the site of an old church in south London releases a centuries-old plague that turns its victims into flesh-hungry ghouls whose bite or scratch passes the contagion - a supernatural virus which has the power to revive the dead - on to others. 'The Death' soon sweeps across London and the whole country descends into chaos. When a drastic attempt to eradicate the outbreak at source fails, the plague spreads quickly to mainland Europe and then across the rest of the world. Told through a series of interconnected eyewitness narratives - text messages, e-mails, blogs, letters, diaries and transcripts - this is an epic story of a world plunged into chaos as the dead battle the living for total domination.

And when her demons became too strong, Dolores was there to take the punishment - and maybe, one day, Dolores had had enough. But Dolores Claibornes's story is different...darker...stranger - and a lot more horrifying. -
