This isn't what she signed up for: the deserted towns and gruesome props. Is this a game with no end? alone and disoriented, Zoo must summon all her survival skills - and learn new ones as she goes . . .'Clever in its concept and gripping in its delivery . . . Haunting, moving and remarkable' Karen Joy Fowler'Taut, tense and at times almost unbearably real' Ruth Ware'A fiercely imagined tale of the human psyche under stress' Justin Cronin
