Reviews

A dark futuristic satire laced with fiendish humour * The Times *
Exhilarating, heartbreaking -- Stuart Kelly * Scotland on Sunday *
Profoundly thoughtful... Zone One is a dark mirror, to be sure, but there is no doubt it is our own age that is being scrutinised here * New Statesman *
A zombie story with brains... Whitehead can spin gore into macabre poetry * Washington Post *
As satirical and gut-wrenchingly emotional as it is horrific, Zone One is the zombie tale at its literary best * SciFi Now *
A cool, thoughtful and, for all its ludic violence, strangely tender novel * New York Times Book Review *
Punchy cocktail of horror, comedy and social critique * Metro *
Often simultaneously arch and sombre, Whitehead's narrative flares with a sociological intelligence -- Benjamin Evans * Daily Telegraph *
