‘Snort-inducingly funny . . . One for those with strong stomachs and big hearts’ – The Times

Full of heartbreak, revulsion and black humour, a scientist desperately searches for a cure to a zombie virus while also hiding a monumental secret – her undead husband.

Kesta’s husband, Tim, was the last person to be bitten in a zombie pandemic. The country is now in a period of respite, the government seemingly having rounded up and disposed of all the infected.

But Kesta has a secret . . .

Tim may have been bitten, but he’s not quite dead yet. In fact, he’s tied to a bed in her spare room. And she’s made him a promise: find a cure, bring him back.

A scientist by day, Kesta juggles intensive work under the microscope alongside Tim’s care, slipping him stolen drugs to keep him docile while knowing she is hiding the only zombie left. But Kesta is running out of drugs – and time. Can she save her husband before he is discovered? Or worse . . . will they trigger another outbreak?

‘An acidic, funny, queasy debut’ – Emma Van Straaten, bestselling author of This Immaculate Body

Eleştirmen yorumları

Compulsively readable. A propulsive, page-turning descent into all that is lovely and grotesque about grief, obsession and love (Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six and Masters of Death)
A post-apocalyptic heartbreaker, dosed with high tension and threaded with the profound hope that love brings, One Yellow Eye is a new classic (Christina Henry, author of Alice and The House That Horror Built)
An equally charming and grim zombie novel about undying love. Every page simmers with exquisite dread. Original and smart and heartfelt, an unmissable debut that blends and transcends genre (Rachel Harrison, bestselling author of So Thirsty and Black Sheep)
Witty, propulsive and heartbreaking. Radford’s dark, zombie love-story is intelligent and refreshing (Rebecca Netley, author of The Whistling)
You wouldn't expect a zombie novel to have so much to say about love. Radford's suspenseful One Yellow Eye is driven by various fears – the fear of a virus that could return to rip the world apart, the fear of a terrible wrongdoing being discovered – but in the end the zombies take a backseat to the greatest horror of all: losing the one closest to our heart (Mason Coile, author of William)
Unflinching, subversive, and deeply human, Radford delivers a zombie love story for the ages. (Maggie Su, author of Blob)
Complex and utterly brilliant, One Yellow Eye had me in a chokehold from the first word to the last as I was swept up into Kesta and Tim’s harrowing journey, navigating the fine line between love and selfishness; grief and obsession. Leigh Radford has created a genre all her own (fitting for a tale about zombies) that was darkly comedic, gruesome and compassionate – to say I absolutely loved this beautifully macabre story is an understatement (Ashley Tate, bestselling author of Twenty Seven Minutes)
Stunningly accomplished . . . This gripping and darkly comedic tragedy lays bare what 'til death do us part' really means. (Charlotte Cross, author of The Brides)
An acidic, funny, queasy debut . . . What seems initially to be tense pandemic fiction reveals a tender, harrowing love story (Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body)
Radford's undead love story can be snort-inducingly funny . . . One for those with strong stomachs and big hearts (The Times)
A gripping, sometimes darkly funny depiction of the grotesque lengths to which love might drive someone in refusing to accept an inevitable end (Guardian)
Radford shapes the subgenre into something new and fresh . . . The reanimated corpses are just icing on the rotting cake (New York Times)
Gripping, grisly and wonderfully written (Daily Mail)

One Yellow Eye took me by surprise - it was the monthly pick for my local book club and it wasn't what I had voted for but I was instantly captivated by Kesta's battle between grief and hope. One Yellow Eye is a true representation of what we would do for the ones we love most and how far we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for them. I was touched by the raw depiction of our human desire to connect, help and love those we hold closest to us.

The writing style was clear and I enjoyed the slow reveal of plot points. The characters were raw and real, making them relatable and understandable. I adored the London setting and pictured all the walks Kesta took.

Overall - a grounding, eye-opening and somewhat spooky (for the sake of the autumn season) read

Incredible heart felt book

…then just dragged on and on. I ended up skimming the last third and don’t think I missed much. It just slowed down to the speed of sludge. Needed serious harsh editing to stop all the endless repetition

Started ok…

Everything about this book tickled my brain in the right way. The pace, the descriptions of stuff the unexpected emotional journey it takes you on.

Having lost both parents, and my mum in the pandemic too, from cancer, it wasn’t an easy listen, but it was a much needed one.

Best book I’ve listened to in AGES listen and I listen to a book a week!
