'Taut, tense and at times almost unbearably real' Sunday Times bestseller Ruth Ware
'A smart twist on the apocalypse' Reader Review
'Shows what impact our times have on the ways we think. A compelling entry into the post-apocalypse genre' Kirkus
***
She wanted an adventure. But what if it never ends?
When Zoo agrees to take part in a new reality TV show, In The Dark, she's hoping for a challenge. Facing eleven competitors, she's prepared for her physical and mental strength to be tested in a series of unforgiving survival tasks.
But as her fellow contestants are overcome by hunger, injury and psychological breakdown, Zoo becomes increasingly afraid. Because the deserted TV set and gruesome props are starting to feel all too real.
Is there something they're not telling Zoo about the world outside?
