A note for parents

Domino Falls is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller with significant violence and horror elements centered on an alien infection that transforms people into dangerous creatures. While the story includes coming-of-age and romantic elements with positive themes about survival and human connection, the intense zombie/creature violence, graphic descriptions of infection and death, and sustained scary atmosphere make it better suited for older teens than younger readers. The alien invasion angle and exploration of humanity's resilience add some complexity beyond typical zombie fiction.

An infection has swept the world, bringing on an epidemic of mindless attacks that leave everyone changed. Society has broken down. Survivors call the infected Freaks. But the Freaks are more than simple, mindless zombies - they are actually the result of an alien life form slowly colonising Earth, and humanity is ultimately enmeshed in a struggle for control of the planet. Part Dawn of the Dead and part Road Warrior, Domino Falls is a horrifying, exciting and strangely romantic coming-of-age story set on the edge of Apocalypse.
