•  Don - one of the original housemate. He is the type that quite reluctant when it comes to a newcomer at the house including Gary. This man has been influenced by Gary about the theories that the 'creatures' are not harmful. At one point, Gary was caught by Malorie when he reads in his book saying about "..tear the blanket down..". The housemates agree to kick Gary from the house. But Don secretly has sneaked in Gary inside the cellar. Sadly, Don died too when trying to reach the cellar but it was not described. In the book it has mentioned " ..as if he raced there, mad, to ask Gary for his mind back"
• Jules- he's the second bravest after Tom. He and Tom went outside blindfold for two times to collect foods and other necessities while other housemates stay. Have a dog named Victor. Victor later died as they don't know that animals are also affected by the creatures.
• George- basically Greg in the movie. Because he is the owner of the house and died from watching the 'creatures' through a computer screen

Tom is a white guy and not black. Some of Malorie's describes of him:"..Tom has blondish brown hair. His features are strong. His blue eyes flare with intelligence. He's not much taller than Malorie. Unshaven, his stubble is almost red." He was indeed the most thoughtful ones in the house.

He actually died earlier together with the rest of housemates when the house was exposed to the 'creatures'. The condition of Tom's death was not described.


Malorie's sister in the book is Shannon while in the movie it is Jessica.
In the book, Malorie's sister died in the bathroom with a scissor stabbed in her chest. While in the movie, she died after hitting by a truck.


It is Don. He's been influenced by Gary that the creatures are not dangerous

No, they are not been blinded. Initially, that is the way things were done when there is new person coming due to there is a tragedy had happen before in the blind school because of people who can still see.  But, things had changed now as they will accept people without blinding them

This is some of the points that I can highlight. All in all it was still a great book and the movie is not far different from the movie, which is kudos to the director and the film team! Hope people enjoy knowing some extra information that is not in the movie hehe
