In an apocalypse, there are two kinds of monsters: the ones who mindlessly hunt you for food, and the ones who look you in the eye while they steal your last chance at survival. This story's most chilling lesson is that the zombies are predictable. It’s the other survivors, the ones still capable of choice, who will truly show you the meaning of horror. They don’t need a fungus to become monsters; they just need an excuse.
