One Yellow Eye: A devastating, macabre horror novel about obsession and undying love . . . | Leigh Radford
1 post | 2 read | 3 to read
‘Snort-inducingly funny . . . One for those with strong stomachs and big hearts’ — THE TIMES Full of heartbreak, revulsion and black humour, a scientist desperately searches for a cure to a zombie virus while also hiding a monumental secret – her undead husband. Kesta’s husband Tim was the last person to be bitten in a zombie pandemic. The country is now in a period of respite, the government seemingly having rounded up and disposed of all the infected. But Kesta has a secret . . . Tim may have been bitten, but he’s not quite dead yet. In fact, he’s tied to a bed in her spare room. And she’s made him a promise: find a cure, bring him back. A scientist by day, Kesta juggles intensive work under the microscope alongside Tim’s care, slipping him stolen drugs to keep him docile, knowing she is hiding the only zombie left. But Kesta is running out of drugs – and time. Can she save her husband before he is discovered? Or worse . . . will they trigger another outbreak? ‘An acidic, funny, queasy debut’ EMMA VAN STRAATEN, bestselling author of This Immaculate Body *** WHY READERS LOVE ONE YELLOW EYE: 'I absolutely devoured this (pardon the pun)' 'Man oh man. This is one of those hypnotising novels that just instantly compels you to keep reading' 'Grimy, atmospheric, and so beautifully bleak it absolutely burrowed under my skin'

Set in London we follow Kesta who has chained her husband, Tim, to the radiator in the spare room. He has recently been bitten by a zombie and has turned into the undead. If the authorities find out about him, he will be killed. Kesta hopes she can keep him a secret until a cure is developed.
There's so much to think about here in Kesta's actions and how far she went to keep Tim alive. Her exhaustion, grief and motivation really came alive on page
