New Horror Novel Will Change the Way You Think About the Undead

And Then This Happened is the debut novel of Kimberly Young

At a time when sexual violence is constantly in the news and zombies are all the rage in pop culture, And Then This Happened combines the two concepts in a unique and powerful way. Feminists, literature buffs, and undead aficionados alike will be gripped by this powerful and thrilling horror story.

And Then This Happened takes place during a zombie apocalypse where women are specifically targeted and attacked by the undead. Soon, these victims find themselves giving birth to horrifying hybrid abominations that add a new and appalling threat to an already ravaged world.

In the aftermath, two camps have emerged: one full of women who blame and ban men; another that enslaves women in the guise of keeping them safe. But what happens when two members from opposite camps fall for each other? Though the ideologies that engulf them threaten to keep them apart, a series of surprising twists and turns leads to an ending no one saw coming.
