A zombie apocalypse remembered from inside the undead

Robin Becker frames the zombie apocalypse through Jack Barnes, a former college professor who remains sentient after becoming one of the undead. Presented as his account of organizing a resistance in the aftermath, the novel shifts attention from survivors’ defenses to the consciousness, memory, and agency of a zombie narrator. The premise places horror’s familiar flesh-eating threat alongside the practical and political challenge of collective action after civilization’s collapse. As a zombie memoir, it uses Jack’s retrospective perspective to explore what happens when the figure normally treated as a monster can tell his own version of events.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult horror readers interested in zombie fiction
  • Readers who enjoy apocalyptic stories told from an unusual perspective
  • Fans of horror premises involving resistance and survival

Romero zombie epic!
