A best-selling science fiction zombie novel, which is based on Carey's 2013 Edgar Award-nominated short story 'Iphigenia in Aulis'. Set in a dystopian future, the text follows protagonist Melanie, a 10-year old girl and test subject, host of a fungal infection that has taken over the globe and transformed the majority of the human population into crazed zombies. The novel was the basis for the 2016 film adaptation of the same name, directed by Colm McCarthy and starring Sennia Nanua as Melanie, Gemma Arteton, Glenn Close, and Paddy Considine.
