True stories of death and desperation

One survivor chooses loneliness.

One chooses exile.

One chooses oblivion.

Some have violent tendencies, ruining lives indiscriminately. Some seal their own fate in slow motion; others do so in the blink of an eye.

In The Survivors, award-winning true-crime writer Steve Braunias retells twelve mysteries of human nature—unusual stories of how people choose to survive their own lives, and their decisions, desires, impulses... and failings.

Lives in the shadows

Steve Braunias’ writing is one of the things I love about the NZ Herald and this book is no different. The book tells the stories of people who live in the shadows between us, some tragic, some reprehensible. Most unnoticed while sharing our city (Auckland) and times. Oh except for two stories that were not of our time and which I did not enjoy so much.

About the Author

Steve Braunias is the author of 13 books, including Civilisation (winner of the 2013 NZ Post award for best book of non-fiction) and Missing Persons, which won the non-fiction prize at the 2023 Ngaio Marsh crime-writing awards. He is a staff writer at The New Zealand Herald, and serves as the literary editor at Newsroom.
