Il giorno dello zombi
by Richard LeePensavano di essere al sicuro. Alla luce della convinzione di essere al sicuro dagli attacchi degli Zombi che avevano distrutto il resto del mondo dieci anni prima, si era instaurato un certo tipo di normalità nella piccola comunità costiera. Non era arrivato alcuno Zombi. Girano voci che nel centro della città di Wellington si stia per tenere una festa. Un drappello di uomini si dirige verso la città. Tutto era come doveva essere. Furono accolti con gioia. C'era un sentimento di speranza per un nuovo inizio. La festa comincia. Ma... Una ragazzina chiama il suo cane che gioca sulla spiaggia. Il cane non risponde. Si dirige arrabbiata verso il cane. Lui la morde. Lei corre a casa in lacrime. Gary è una delle persone che ha corso il rischio di visitare la città. Ha le sue ragioni per essere tornato e non ha alcun interesse verso l'evento che mira a riunire gli abitanti e il paese. Vuole solo tornare a casa. Tornare ai ricordi della vita precedente, una vita che gli manca. Vede la ragazzina che corre dalla spiaggia. Qualche istante più tardi il cane gli si avvicina ringhiando. Ci vogliono diversi proiettili per abbatterlo. Sulla spiaggia vede qualcosa che gli gela il sangue. Si gira verso la città nel momento in cui si iniziano a sentire le urla. Rimane poco tempo. Il giorno dello zombi parla di un umano infettato dal virus ma immune, nonostante mostri tutti i segni dell'infezione: la pelle in decomposizione, le abitudini alimentari violente e una moglie. Lui documenta il giorno in cui il virus zombi alla fine era giunto sulle loro coste. Sa che quando il resoconto sarà concluso, i capi del paese lo faranno fuori. Ed è deciso ad accettare il suo destino.

Les lions de Trafalgar sont descendus de la colonne de Lord Nelson pour prendre la défense de la ville, accomplissant une ancienne prophétie, tandis qu'un sinistre personnage libéré après des siècles d'emprisonnement chasse à présent de tendres proies à travers les marchés à viande du quartier de Whitechapel, à la lumière des lampadaires à gaz. Les femmes que ce monstre pourchasse sont bien différentes des prostituées massacrées par un autre homme du nom de Jack, car elles ont peut-être l'air de filles des rues, mais le sang des anges coule dans leurs veines... Entre ces deux puissances se trouvent les membres du Club de Greyfriars, déterminés à affronter des ennemis infernaux avec la seule aide de leur intelligence et un soupçon de magie à l'ancienne. Leur victoire pourrait sauver le sang innocent et les cœurs tendres qu'il fait battre, mais le prix à payer en cas de défaite est trop horrible pour l'imagination... Rejoignez Dorian Carruthers et les vaillants hommes du Club de Greyfriars dans leur voyage à travers les bas-fonds obscurs de la ville, jusqu'au bord même de l'Escalier de Catamine, et dans leur combat pour empêcher le Diable et ses acolytes de mettre la main sur Londres...
