[Froide]

I read through pages 1-7 in this thread (loving it!), and then backward from 35-27. (I will read through pages 8-26 another day). So far, though it could be on a page I didn't yet read, I didn't see anyone mention Charlie Higson's The Enemy series:

They’ll chase you. They’ll rip you open. They’ll feed on you . . . When the sickness came, every parent, police officer, politician – every adult – fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry. Only children under 14 (under 16 in the US version) remain, and they’re fighting to survive. Now there are rumours of a safe place to hide. And so a gang of children begins its quest across London, where all through the city – down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground – the grown-ups lie in wait. But can they make it there – alive?
