About this listen

A truly British dystopian survival story—where trust can be more dangerous than the undead

“We call them the Gone because the person inside isn’t there anymore. It’s not about monsters. It’s about absence.”

Gary thought he had a plan: survive, head north, find his dad’s cabin.

What he didn’t count on was having to lead a group made up of a bat-wielding brawler, a girl with sharper instincts than her blade, and a sugar-fuelled joker who wouldn’t shut up. They’re not exactly a dream team — but they’re all he’s got.

The Gone are relentless. And staying human might be the biggest challenge of all.

Now What? is a darkly funny, character-driven survival story set in post-apocalyptic England — perfect for fans of The Last of Us, Charlie Higson’s The Enemy, Shaun of the Dead and Stand By Me with zombies.
