Summary
About the author

Stuck in the wilderness with a bunch of other juvenile delinquents on an “Inward Trek,” it doesn’t seem that things could get worse for seventeen-year-old Nick “Nero” Sole.

But they do. Overnight, Nero’s counselors turn into flesh-eating maniacs and start chowing down on his fellow miscreants—like a monster movie come to life. As in any classic monster flick worth its salted popcorn, colossal carnage sends survivors rabbiting into the woods while the mindless horde of “infects” shambles, moans, and drools behind. These kids have seen the movies; they know the rules.

Unfortunately, knowing the rules isn’t going to be enough.

The Infects is a genre buster; yes, it’s a fast-paced gore fest, but it’s also an incisive commentary on the evil that lurks within each of us.

YA Fiction

Sean Beaudoin is the author of three cutting-edge young adult novels, including You Killed Wesley Payne. About The Infects, his first novel with Candlewick Press, he says, “A new study just released by the Mayo Clinic shows that reading about brain munching actually increases teen brain cognition by up to 46 percent. I didn’t want to write a book about ravenous zombies, but in light of the study, I felt it was my moral and ethical duty to do so. Also, it was ridiculously fun.” He lives in Seattle with his family.
