Dead End Days: The Complete Scripts

by Jason Patrick Rothery

The collected scripts behind the cult Internet serial "Dead End Days!" In a society where a zombie invasion has been narrowly averted, humanity is left scrambling to cope with the remaining zombie "demographic". When a grasping-at-straws advertising campaign for Brains Cola turns into a runaway success, zombies become the new target for all manner of brains-themed products. The dark social satire follows the adventures of a slew of characters, including Eric (a video store clerk trafficking in black market movies), Ashley (a life insurance agent deluged with undead policy holders), Sam and Bridget (freelance zombie hunters desperate for a gig), and Bruce (the cheerful previously-deceased-rights activist), all struggling to find their place in this new world. This edition compiles the original drafts for all 48 episodes with never-before-seen development material and author commentary. A great read for "Dead End Days" fans, film students, and zombi-philes alike.
