Embrace of the Dead - Ian Woodhead - Bog

Somewhere along the Welsh border, the folk in the insular village of Seeton continue to go about their daily business, unaware that the world around them is falling prey to the reanimated dead. Their routine lives are abruptly turned on their heads when a lone scientist arrives in their village, with the virus close behind. Dean Kasnovski had arrived home, his mind laden with the guilt of leaving his fellow researchers to perish in the secret laboratory hidden deep under the streets of London. Dean is positive that he can found a cure but time is running out, he isn't the only one to arrive in the village. As the villagers' departed ones return to feast on their warm bodies, Seeton's surviving population direct their hate towards the strangers in the village.
