From the bestselling M. R. Carey comes an utterly unique and enchantingly dark epic fantasy fable like no other. This is the tale of Once Was Willem, who - eleven hundred and some years after the death of Christ, in the kingdom that had but recently begun to call itself England - rose from the dead to defeat a great evil facing the humble village of Cosham. Pennick for all its beauty was ever a place with a dark reputation. The forests of the Chase were said to be home to nixies and boggarts, and there was a common belief, passed down through many generations, that the castle housed an unquiet ghost of terrible and malign power. These rumours I can attest were all true; indeed they fell short of the truth by a long way . . .

MELANIE ÄR en väldigt speciell flicka. Dr Caldwell kallar henne för »vårt lilla geni«. Varje morgon väntar Melanie i sin cell för att bli hämtad till dagens första lektion. När de hämtar henne håller sergeant Park pistolen riktad mot henne medan två andra hjälps åt att spänna fast henne i rullstolen. Hon tänker att de nog inte tycker om henne. När hon skojar och säger att hon faktiskt inte bits, är det ingen som skrattar. Flickan med gåvorna är en skrämmande framtidsskildring där större delen av mänskligheten drabbats av en svampinfektion som stänger av deras hjärnor och väcker en hunger som bara kan stillas av mänskligt kött. Det ser ut som om slutet närmar sig eller finns det fortfarande hopp? Om det finns det, är det Melanie som är nyckeln. Flickan med gåvorna bygger på M.R. Careys egen novell Iphigenia In Aulis, för vilken han nominerades till Edgar Allan Poe-priset. Romanen har hyllats i engelsk press för sin unika och intelligenta tolkning av zombietemat och för sina djuplodande karaktärsporträtt. M.R Carey har även skrivit manus till långfilmen She Who Brings Gifts som bygger på berättelsen och som har premiär hösten 2016 med bland andra Glenn Close och Gemma Arterton i rollerna.

I ett sista försök att finna ett botemedel ger sig några överlevande forskare ut på en farlig resa. Deras färdmedel är ett laboratorium på hjul, utrustat med pansar och vapen för att hålla undan horderna av hungriga som sätts i rörelse så fort de känner lukten av människa. Med ombord är också Ste phen Greaves, en femtonårig autistisk pojke med ovanligt hög intelligens. En dag gör de en chockerande upptäckt en grupp vilda barn som tycks vara hälften hungriga, hälften mänskliga. Kan barnen vara nyckeln till ett botemedel? Pojken på bron är en fristående prequel till M.R. Careys bästsäljare Flickan med gåvorna (2016) som även blivit en hyllad film med Glenn Close i en av rollerna.
