The world didn't end all at once.
It changed.
The dead stopped staying dead. Animals became things nobody had names for. Familiar streets became hunting grounds, safe places became traps, and the rules of survival changed faster than anyone could write them down.
Fortunately, Alicen has been trying.
Thirteen-year-old Alicen has spent years crossing a ruined Britain with her father, Bob. He has taught her how to find water, how to sleep lightly, how to recognise danger and, above all, how to stay alive.
Alicen writes it all down.
Her battered notebook is A Field Guide to the Undead and Other Things That Want to Eat Me - part survival manual, part catalogue of monsters, and increasingly, a record of a world determined to erase everyone she loves.
Shamblers are only the beginning.
There are Runners. Watchers. Harrowers. Mutated animals. Creatures that hunt by sound, movement or opportunity. Some can be understood. Some can be avoided.
And some are learning.
But Bob knows something his daughter is still discovering.
The monsters aren't always the most dangerous things left alive.
As father and daughter travel west through the remains of England, every encounter adds another rule to Alicen's Field Guide. Every survivor they meet challenges something Bob has taught her. Every loss leaves another mark that cannot simply be crossed out.
Then Alicen meets Millie.
For the first time, survival begins to mean more than another night alive. Friendship, attraction and the possibility of a future enter a life previously measured in food, shelter, distance and danger.
And that gives Alicen something the apocalypse can take from her.
As their journey carries them towards Cornwall and rumours of something resembling safety, Bob and Alicen must confront a question neither of them has prepared for:
What happens when surviving is no longer enough?
Dark, frightening, unexpectedly funny and deeply human, A Field Guide to the Undead and Other Things That Want to Eat Me is a post-apocalyptic survival story about monsters, family, grief, growing up - and the things worth remaining alive for.
Survive first.
Remember.
Write later.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
