Publisher's Summary

There's a nasty flu going round. An epidemic, they call it. The posters say to cover your mouth when you sneeze, and throw away the tissue. But such simple measures won't stop this flu. Because when you catch this flu, armed police come and lock you in your house to die alone. When you catch this flu, it kills you in days. And when you catch this flu, two hours after it's killed you, your eyelids snap open again....

Flu is a pacey, terrifying, frighteningly real zombie horror story.

©2012 Wayne Simmons (P)2012 Tantor

What the critics say

A excellent story bad narration

I really enjoyed the story but found myself rewinding quite a few times to figure out who was doing what, and what was going on. The narrator was very monotone which made the story hard to follow at times.

Good listen

Very good listen, the narrators voice was smooth like butter. The story line was very easy to follow not jumping around like some do. Free book.

I couldn’t finish it

I tried but there wasn’t enough story or characters that I cared about- superficial and contrived

Don’t waste your time

A story that starts out well with characters that struggle with morality questions. Then it sinks into a slow moving story, with little thought or plot. The characters aren’t built up leaving the listener with no connection to them or a care of what happens to them. The narrator makes an effort to keep it interesting by changing his voice for the different characters, but is otherwise flat. Even free this one will cost you time. Find something better to listen to.
