R R Haywood is the master of Zombie apocalypse books. This short stories novel is another brilliant read from the author known to his follas The Boss and rightly so, he deserves that title. I highly recommend reading his books, whether its the Undead series, stand alone stories or any other novels he has written. They are all gripping reads and very addictive once you start reading each one. Characters are very believable and well rounded. You feel for all of them even though there is the odd one you probably won't like very much. Give his books a go I'm sure you'll be gripped like all of us who read them.

Awesome! As always. TLA.

Couldn't get the last book out of my mind. I do hope they show up in one of the 'days' books. Spot on.

Great short stories

I’m a fan of the undead series so it was nice to read about Howie and the gang again and I enjoyed the rest of the stories too

Great short stories. I'll read anything he writes, especially when it connects to The Undead series.

Excellent again Mr Haywood

Another great read from The Boss!
Loved every story, great to see a different side to The undead series. Absolutely love George, what a character. Hope we get to meet some of the characters in the future.
