The House of Rotting Flesh

Rate this book
WARNING: This book contains scenes of explicit violence and gore.

Nobody knew where the virus had come from. All they knew was that everybody—save for a few million people—was dead.

But the dead didn't stay dead for long. They rose from their graves to feast on the flesh of the living. Giant concrete walls were built around the cities, in an effort to keep the dead out.

With little else left to look forward to, people turned to their TVs for entertainment. The most popular show was THE HOUSE OF ROTTING FLESH—a show in which a group of convicted criminals was forced to compete in a series of horrific tasks, all while being watched by hordes of the infected. If they failed to complete the task set out before them, that would only lead to their certain death—as food for the hungry dead.

Can anybody survive a night in THE HOUSE OF ROTTING FLESH?

Fun!

I loved this..The game show concept had me gripped I honestly couldn't put this down..I loved Danny he was a really likeable character I found myself rooting for him..A proofreader or beta reader would've sorted out all those little edits that made it through but I wholly enjoyed this zombie story.

This was a fun and unique story! For a shorter story I thought it did great with building the characters. I don't want to talk about the ending though, that's all I have to say about that

This is probably my favorite book by Harrison Phillips, a page turner I could not put down!

Normally, I'm not the biggest fan of zombie stories, but Phillips really created something unique here and I loved it!

A group of convicts are forced to participate in a game show where they must perform tasks to progress from room to room, all with zombies!

There are characters you love and hate, there is plenty of gore, and you are begging to know what happens next. If you've seen my reviews before, you know I love when the characters are forced to do tasks to survive. This was like "Saw" but with zombies!

Harrison Phillips actually made me enjoy a zombie story! haha.

4/5

This is a.descent read. You get into it pretty easily and there are a few.nasty bits with a few twists here and there to keep you entertained. It's all about a network trying to get 're best ratings during a time of death and destruction. Loved the concept of the rooms in the story and Danny was a great character Along with george .

Another awesome read by Harrison Phillips, who is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! This was a fun premise, a gameshow with the threat to the contestants being the undead. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the sequel. 4/5 rotting skulls 💀
