The eastern seaboard of the United States is sealed off, oceans are contaminated, beaches blackened, and cities awash in poisonous pollution. Civilization collapses as chaos reigns — people murder, loot, and turn on one another in a desperate scramble for survival. Amid the chaos, one man and his daughters cling to each other, their bond tested in a world that has gone utterly mad.
What makes this book terrifying is Masterton’s relentless apocalyptic vision. The horror isn’t just the disease — it’s the breakdown of society itself. Every street, every city becomes a battlefield, and the threat of infection adds a constant, inescapable dread. The characters’ struggle to survive in a world where law and morality have vanished heightens the tension and stakes.
It’s worth reading because Masterton blends visceral horror with emotional depth. Plague isn’t just about a virus; it’s about the resilience of love and hope in the face of total annihilation. If you enjoy high-stakes, post-apocalyptic thrillers with both terror and heart, this novel is a gripping, unforgettable read.
