A collection of small stories (20+) about the decimation of the world population by a plague, presented from the point of view of the survivors.

The stories are very well written, but take out the zombie part and they do not hold their own for me. This is a book I would recommend to anyone that does not like fiction.

Stories vary a lot in theme. One is about a suburban mom with a cheating husband, two kids and an apathy for the world events, only concerned about her life. Then the plague came. Another is about a doctor who finds his patient to be infected. Then another about the guy who saw an opportunity in the crisis an made up a fake medicine.
