The Passage
Justin Cronin • 2010
Devastation Rating
survival horror loss dystopian
Our Take
A military virus turns subjects into something between vampire and apocalypse and Cronin treats it with the moral weight of a literary novelist. The opening section, with Amy and Agent Wolgast, is heartbreaking in ways the genre rarely attempts. This is plague fiction where the children haunt you. Cronin earns his scale by grounding it in the grief of one person protecting one child.
