Eight people still breathing in a Dead Zone - how many can cheat Fate twice?

Trapped in the same isolation area, curiously immune to a terrifyingly swift pandemic that has left corpses and suspicion in its wake, they face the same harrowing ultimatum: believe the media and report to a 'quarantine centre', or believe their own eyes and attempt escape.

Their lives, and possibly all humanity, depend on them getting it right.

Fear of Misery is a vivid urban dystopian thriller, set in a London of the near future where resource shortages, overpopulation and climate change have seriously impacted the fabric of society.

For Egg, staffing his children's ward; Daze, dossing in her Gothic crypt; and 80-year-old Annie, housebound on the 20th floor of her tower block, death is truly the great leveller. Join this achingly portrayed band of everyday survivors on their dark, nail-biting journeys through vacant streets, disturbing questions, desperate losses and redeeming loves.

Would you make the same choices to save yourself or others?

If you can handle the fast-pace and compelling suspense then Fidelio's thought-provoking future-tech tale is right up your street.

Just beware that Wednesday, 4:00 am feeling...
