Queen's Road

The end of the world comes to an ordinary Somerset street with no warning, no sirens, and a frankly insulting lack of organisation.

It starts with a barbecue. A few bad jokes. A street that thinks the end of the world is something that happens on telly.

Queen’s Road isn’t ready for the apocalypse. But ready or not, it’s here, and the dead aren’t the only ones knocking. When help doesn’t come, the neighbours do what they’ve always done: argue, improvise, and pass around tea like it’s a tactical advantage.

Between barricades and burnt toast, they begin to build something fierce and fragile — the kind of family no one expected.

But as the days drag on, it becomes clear: not every threat is mindless. Not every choice can be undone. And not every situation is as safe as it seems.

Queen’s Road is a character-driven, darkly funny, deeply human apocalypse novel about ordinary people, a community under strain, and what it really means to stay.
