Last Ones Left Alive

In "Last Ones Left Alive" by Sarah Davis-Goff, Orpen is raised in isolation on a small island off post-apocalyptic Ireland, training to face an unseen threat. As she grapples with her longing for the mainland and the urge to find other survivors, her world is turned upside down when disaster strikes. Pushing an unconscious companion in a wheelbarrow, she embarks on a perilous journey to find the legendary banshees, an all-female fighting force against the flesh-eating skrake. This evocative narrative blends lyrical prose with horror and feminist themes, exploring Orpen's quest for identity amid danger.
