M.R. Carey writes science fiction, horror and fantasy about altered humanity, survival and characters forced to question what counts as normal. The Girl with All the Gifts follows Melanie, a highly intelligent child held in a secure facility after a fungal infection has transformed most of the population into dangerous 'hungries'. The Boy on the Bridge returns to the same post-apocalyptic world through a research expedition, while the Rampart trilogy begins with The Book of Koli in a far-future England where advanced technology has become rare and partly mythologised. Carey's books are tense, idea-driven and character-led, fitting post-apocalyptic fiction, science-fiction horror and speculative adventure. The Girl with All the Gifts is the clearest entry point for the darker, biologically driven side of his fiction. Read more Less
