Perez uses this framework to explore themes of trust and betrayal. The book operates within the contemporary horror genre, specifically the subgenre of zombie apocalypse fiction. It does not offer historical context or scientific explanation for the outbreak. Instead, it immerses the reader in the immediate experience of those trying to stay alive.
