📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A diabetic woman fights zombies and her own body while haunted by ghosts.

Kristin faces a double threat in this narrative. Her Type 1 Diabetes requires constant insulin, which is nearly impossible to find after the collapse of society. The ghosts of her sister and brother-in-law follow her, reminding her of her mortality. She initially plans to let the zombies finish what her condition started. Finding three helpless survivors changes her path. A voice like her sister’s compels her to teach them survival skills. This decision gives her a purpose she lacked before. The plot centers on her role as an unlikely mentor in a world where death is constant. It highlights the fragility of life when medical support vanishes. The story explores how grief and duty can coexist even when hope seems lost.

📝 Description: Type 1 Undead

Kristin lives in a world where the dead walk and her own body is failing. She suffers from Type 1 Diabetes, a condition that demands precise insulin management to keep her alive. In this hostile new environment, such medical supplies are scarce and unreliable. Haunted by the spirits of her deceased sister and brother-in-law, she considers ending her life rather than waiting for either the undead or her illness to kill her. This fatalistic view shifts when she encounters three vulnerable survivors who need guidance. A voice resembling her sister urges Kristin to protect these strangers. She decides to teach them how to endure in this dangerous landscape. The narrative focuses on her internal struggle between giving up and finding a reason to continue. It examines the intersection of supernatural horror with the very real, physical terror of chronic illness. The story does not rely on grand battles but on the quiet desperation of survival against impossible odds. This book suits readers who appreciate character-driven horror that blends psychological tension with apocalyptic settings. It may not appeal to those seeking fast-paced action or traditional zombie hunting expeditions. A H Haga presents a unique perspective where the protagonist’s battle is as much internal as it is external. The story remains grounded in Kristin’s daily fight for breath and blood sugar control amidst the chaos.
