Synopsis

M. R. Carey returns to the world of THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS, the phenomenal word-of-mouth bestseller which is now a critically acclaimed film starring Glenn Close, Gemma Arterton and Paddy Considine.

The people thought the boy could save them, so they opened their gates and sent him out into the world.

To where the monsters lived.
