Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell. Every day, they strap her down at gunpoint. And every time, she wonders—why are they so afraid of her?
To Dr. Caldwell, Melanie is a brilliant subject. To Miss Justineau, she’s a curious, kind child. To the soldiers guarding her, she’s a threat barely contained. Melanie doesn’t understand what makes her different—but the world outside her cell is about to show her.
The Girl With All the Gifts is a chilling, genre-defying thriller that reimagines the zombie narrative with heart-wrenching humanity. Gripping, emotional, and unforgettable, it’s a story of survival, sacrifice, and what it means to be alive—even when the world sees you as a monster.
This isn’t the apocalypse you’re expecting.
