Carry Me
A mother protects her son, who is patient zero in a zombie outbreak.
Cox explores the weight of being blamed for a global collapse while attempting to rescue the one causing it. The story highlights the close terror of family relations under severe stress. It challenges whether affection can ever excuse shielding someone who spreads death. The tale provides no simple solutions or obvious moral directions. Rather, it offers a stark view of survival urges battling with ethical limits. The conflict stems from both outside aggressors and inner remorse.
Published in 2011 by Lulu Press, this work enters the post-2008 surge of independent zombie fiction. It reflects a period where self-publishing allowed authors to explore niche horror themes without traditional gatekeepers. The book sits within the American tradition of apocalyptic literature, focusing on individual survival rather than societal collapse.
