Description
What could be worse than being stuck at home, bored to death? The president has declared a country-wide lockdown, and everyone has to stay at home in order to combat the spread of the highly-contagious Falcevirus. Sixteen-year old Lucas is enjoying not going to school, but is slowly going stir crazy on a diet of video games and household chores. Things start taking a turn for the strange when he gets a frantic call from his friend Nkata, with news that his infected brother Walter has disappeared from his bedroom overnight. The strangeness escalates when over-achiever Stephanie is attacked by a dead body that the boys stumbled over the previous evening. That leaves only one explanation: zombies. With no one believing their theory, the three friends have to band together to prevent a zombie outbreak from taking over their housing estate, and potentially the country! From the author who brought you KB's Log and Journal of a South African Zombie Apocalypse, Lockdown is a new chapter in SAZA (South African Zombie Association) folklore that cleverly touches on experiences very close to home.
