A post-apocalyptic comic thriller quite unlike anything else, 'Basically Frightened' takes a skewered look at life after a pandemic has decimated the population. One unlikely hero, several even less likely heroines, feral kids, warlords and the mysterious 'Order', all of these elements combine to give readers one of the wittiest and most dryly observed books in quite a while. This is where it all begins. This is 'Basically Frightened'.
