What We Talk About When We Talk About Brains by Peter M. Ball
In What We Talk About When We Talk About Brains, Peter M. Ball delivers a haunting blend of zombie horror and gritty realism. Set in a storm-ravaged Australia, where red rain awakens the dead, these six sharp and evocative tales reveal the quiet struggles of survival amidst chaos.
