End of the world tale about a disease that affects most of the world, except for a few that escape. Usual story lines of survivors chasing each other, murdering each other to prevent contagion, and weird governments based on religious fanaticism. ( )

The Withering by Joshua Jacobs is a depressing but good read. Good suspense! Certainly worth the read. The world building was very good, the world was quite depressing but that is what was intended. ( )
