The Loser’s Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse

Overview

Fifteen years after the world fell to the dark-dwelling things survivors call Vamps, Nicole Wells walks away from a failing settlement carrying a duct-taped notebook she found by accident. It was written by Luke Hadley, an invisible, watchful teenager who lived through the first days by noticing what everyone stronger than him missed, and who filled its pages with rules for staying alive. Following those rules across a ruined America, Nicole retraces ground Luke walked a decade and a half earlier and falls in love with a boy she is certain is long dead. Behind her, word spreads. A pilgrimage forms. And a crowd that size makes exactly the kind of noise the dark has been listening for.
