Extended description

Having lost her parents in a tragic multi-car pile-up, Monica Harper is drawn time and again to fatal automobile accidents without understanding why. Living alone, she works next to the same section of highway where her parents were killed.

But it isn’t survivors’ guilt trapping Monica in her dead-end life.

Fred Schott is a tabloid reporter obsessed with Monica, and with other accident magnets like her. Despite her mistrust of Fred, Monica is eventually convinced to speak with other people with the same problems.

But in arranging this tiny support group, Monica has pushed for a confrontation with an invisible army of living spirits. One by one, her new friends are picked off until Monica is left alone to face an enemy she cannot see or touch.

Review by: Becka Sutton on July 02, 2010 : star star star star
A few years back Zoe Whitten and I frequented the same writing forum. At one point she asked if anyone would alpha read an early draft of “The Sole Survivors’ Club”. I was one of the volunteers, and in spite of having the various flaws you’d expect in a early draft it was a bloody good story.

So I was delighted when, a few weeks back, she announced on Twitter that she was releasing it as an ebook for the reasonable price of $1.99. I purchased it at Smashwords and read it again. With the flaws of the first draft corrected it was even better.

This is a rich and beautifully researched dark fantasy novel which balances its world building and necessary introspection and explanation with moments of vivid and sometimes shocking action.

I don’t really have anything negative to say about this story. It’s well worth reading. My only caveat is that Zoe's style is idiosyncratic. It’s the literary equivalent of marmite. You either love it or hate it, and you know which it is straight away.

Highly recommended.
