Discover Book: SHADES
When the world goes dark without warning, survival becomes instinct and humanity is tested. In SHADES, Louise Vee follows two strangers navigating a Britain stripped bare, where fear spreads fast, and monsters wear many faces.
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Fiction
Author: Louise Vee
What remains of humanity when the world ends in an instant?
In SHADES, Louise Vee drops readers into a Britain abruptly silenced by a blinding flash—one that wipes out not only the familiar comforts of daily life, but the fragile sense of safety that once held society together. When Ruby Brook steps out of a Manchester cinema and Benedict Brown emerges from a gym basement in Newcastle, they find themselves in a landscape stripped of order, power, and connection. No food, no water, not even social media to help them make sense of the chaos.
As Ruby and Ben each fight their way through a world now stalked by The Blind, their parallel journeys reveal the many forms monsters can take, especially when survival is at stake. Gritty, tense, and unmistakably authentic, SHADES merges the bleak urgency of 28 Days Later with the raw humor and heart of The Royle Family—a post-apocalyptic tale told through a distinctly northern, working-class lens.
It’s no surprise that readers praise Vee’s storytelling as bold, grounded, and deeply human:
“Explores the breakdown of society through a working-class lens in such a way that it would make Danny Boyle proud.”
For readers who crave realism with their apocalypse, imperfect characters who fight their way through fear, and world-ending chaos that feels frighteningly plausible, SHADES is a must-read.
