The most frightening book I've ever read.

The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story
by Richard Preston
The nonfiction thriller is about the 1989 discovery of the deadly ebola virus in a primate quarantine facility in suburban Washington, D.C.

Several, but this one haunts me. I read it when it came out. That was when Ebola was a big deal. Reread it during the Pandemic. #thehotzone

Currently reading and loving Spillover by David Quammen. I was a big fan of #thehotzone by Richard Preston and Spillover has all the interesting science that underpins the foundations of zoonotic diseases woven with excellent storytelling I had been hoping for. #booksky 📚📘 #books

I solemnly swear 🙏🏼 I will not give into the intrusive thoughts that tell me to re-read #thehotzone by Richard Preston. 🫤
This seems totally fine and ultra chill 👍🏼😒
Ebola outbreak in Uganda reported yesterday... but with new administration, CDC not allowed to collaborate (or even communicate) with the WHO. Normally CDC staff would already be on the way. Follow @craigspencer.bsky.social and @jeremyfaust.bsky.social for details www.cidrap.umn.edu/ebola/uganda...

Have to also mention "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston as an exciting intro to what a friend & I call "disease" books: a subgenre of current events or historical nonfiction. #TheHotZone #RichardPreston

@NatGeoChannel @GHSAgenda @CEPIvaccines @NTI_WMD That's it for me on @NatGeoChannel's #TheHotZone. I hope you stay up late for the next hour which leaves the world of TV drama for the much scarier reality of Ebola. Thanks, and good night!

So excited to be watching #TheHotZone on @NatGeoChannel. Now let’s see how they get the science right: first, Nancy is right that most diseases that affect monkeys don’t hurt humans. Also that working in BSL-4 is serious work - no messing around in there. 1/
