Laurie Fletcher, once a successful FBI agent, now languishes in Xander Hill Federal
Sanatorium as a result of her crimes against humanity though Laurie would hardly call
the serial killings of pedophiles and other nasty folk ‘crimes against humanity’.
Languishing becomes the last thing on Laurie's itinerary one week into her stay when a
power outage unlocks all the security doors, unleashing a band of zombies craving
human flesh. With the aid of another patient, Laurie battles to survive this peculiar
predicament. As patient Number 114, Laurie learns that she is part of a grotesque
experiment: ‘Survivor’ crossed with Stephen King, which will require all of her cunning to
stay on top of events.
Laurie knows the patient helping her only as Number 37. He is, however, the son of the
evil mastermind behind the horrific adventure that they have been cast upon. All the
survivors of the zombie raid are given numbers by the unseen madman holding
everybody hostage.
The winning couple in this experiment receives one enviable prize - life - and the
unenviable task of eliminating the growing hoarde of zombies creeping into the city. For
Laurie, the battle becomes personal when one zombie is revealed as one of her victims.
That she is paired with the son of the doctor behind this horrific adventure is not a
comfort, as all survivors are on an even keel and must use their wits and each other to
survive - and avoid being changed into zombies themselves.
Not for the faint of heart, Ms Taylor's horror novella provides action from page one.
Through the eyes of a calculating killer, the reader is drawn into the macabre
environment of the impossible, and compelled to see it through the ending. The Xander
Hill Experiment will attract fans of gore with its vivid style and fast pace.
