Silence. Growling. Silence...
'Growlers is different in several ways from the average zombie apocalypse story. First, it's set in the Balkans, second, there are no preppers involved and third, there are no military experts and only one pistol!'

'Growlers is different in several ways from the average zombie apocalypse story. First, it's set in the Balkans, second, there are no preppers involved and third, there are no military experts and only one pistol!'
It begins with random reports of a new flu virus...
What should have been a relaxing winter vacation in a small town with the family turns into a hopeless situation.
Andrei, Lili, their seven-year-old son and Lili’s parents soon understand that the blackout was just the beginning. A mysterious disease turns everybody else into growling monsters and now they must fight for their lives. There's no power, no cell phone signal, no food supplies and it's the middle of the winter. Roads are covered in snow and there's nowhere to go.
Every decision, any move, could mean a terrible death. Are they the only ones alive? What makes these zombie-like abominations tick?
The family struggles to find food, shelter, much needed medicine and to stay alive in the process. But why do they seem to be immune? And if one of them gets sick, will the others be able to find a cure? All while being hunted by growling creatures and packs of stray dogs.
Although meant to be part of a series, Growlers can be read as a standalone.
'What made it for me was the characters. I loved the family dynamic, the banter between the husband and wife and the love between the grandparents. If the world was ending, I’d want someone like Dan on my side. He’s a legend.' – Iseult Murphy, Author of 7 Days In Hell

‘I liked the different take on not only the zombies but also the main characters. They are ordinary people who actually stay that way. Their quirks and weaknesses both hinder and help. Worth reading.' – Amazon US Reviewer
