Dear Diary - I mean, Dear Annabelle. I suppose if you're reading this, it means that some semblance of humanity survived. Score one for the humans! Who would've thought that we could survive the end of the world? I mean, what else would you call people turning into cannibals, into what are essentially known as zombies? I guess I’m only writing this so I won’t be forgotten. I want you people in the future, wherever you are, to read this and know the shit that went down. Because let’s face it, how else are you gonna know unless someone tells you? And it seems to me like I’m one of the only ones still alive to tell the tale. So sit back, relax and enjoy the story of how the world ended. *Warning, this is written completely in diary entry form, and therefore utilizes a lot of colloquial language.

What if you knew that someone was going to die? What would you do? Would you scream? Brooklyn doesn't have a choice. She is a banshee, a creature that screams when one near her is about to die. Her parents send her to Griggs Academy, where other monsters learn to control their abilities. But what happens when Brooklyn gets a strange prophecy that warns her of someone's death many days before it is to occur? Is she supposed to save their life? And how? And why do students keep dropping dead without a cause of death? Find out in Uprising where a scream can be extreme.
