About this listen

A prison doctor injects a condemned serial killer with a formula designed to keep his consciousness awake while his body rots in the grave. But all drugs have unforeseen side-effects. Before he could be buried, the killer wakes up. Hungry. Infected. Contagious. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang…but a bite.

 Fantasy Fiction Horror Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction Scary Zombie

Critic Reviews

“This has to be one of the best traditional zombie tales I've ever read... This is a zombie book for the ages.” —Seattle Post Intelligencer

“Maberry grounds the story with scientific confidence, spares no attention to detail, and presents the undead as more than faceless targets.” —Publishers Weekly

I found the storyline itself quite compelling, but William Dufris's narration did nothing for me. It felt like I was listening to a cheesy, small-time radio presenter, and it was almost enough to stop listening.

I'm a huge fan of the Joe Ledger series and I was excited to see that this had a female lead, but she too became tiresome. Cliché abandonment issues and an abrupt change from a badass, tough as nails chick to a whining mess. I won't be bothering with book two.

A good story - if you can get past the narration
