Survive the first weeks of the Zombie RiZing – check. Survive older and stronger survivors – check. Become zombie-neutralising machines – check. Gain magic skills – check (well, 4 out of 6). Learn how to defeat giants – check. Survive outside the school grounds – check.
It’s a case of so far so good for the misfit heroes we first met in Zombie RiZing: The Beginning.
Led by the kick-ass Beath, they’ve lasted longer than most of the population. Their “reward”? The zombie-to-human ratio increases. But that’s the least of their problems.
In search of food and supplies, the gang are heading into monster central and they don’t even know it. Sure, the bogies are bigger, badder and more numerous, but there’s an even bigger evil… and it’s human.
The epic second instalment of the awarding-winning Zombie RiZing series is here. Think gore, action, adventure, gore, scares, laughs and, of course, gore. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

*Matt donates money from each book sold to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition his youngest daughter has*
Like the legendary R M Williams, Matt was born in Jamestown in rural South Australia. But that’s where the remarkable similarities between these two end. While Reginald went from bushman to world renowned millionaire outback clothing designer, Matt is a complete dag who was lured by the city lights of Adelaide. Kindergarten in the big smoke was a culture shock, but it is here he first discovered his love of storytelling.
In high school that love found an outlet in a series of completely unflattering cartoons about fellow students and teachers alike. He survived long enough to further his art into a successful career in multimedia design but, like a zombified leech, the lure of the written word gnawed at him, forcing him to pen his first novel, the award-winning sci-fi comedy epic, Kings of the World. It was followed the next year by Amazon Australia dystopian sci-fi best-seller Apocalypse: Diary of a Survivor.
Matt donates part-proceeds of each book sold to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition the youngest of his three children, Abby, has. As a gorgeous Rett angel, Abby cannot walk, talk or use her hands in a meaningful way. So, not only is each of your book purchases a ticket to fantastically rounded, character driven, hilarious and poignant sci-fi awesomeness, it wraps you in a warm feeling that you’ve made a difference to people who deserve your help the most. Like the zombified leech it’s a no-brainer.
