Resumen del Editor

When the zombie apocalypse strikes without warning one dog will hold the fate of her pack in her paws. This is the story of Riley, an American bulldog. Follow along as she tries to keep her pack safe from a zombie apocalypse. Traveling with her are Ben-Ben the high-strung Yorkie; her favorite two-legger, Jessie; Jessie's younger brother, Zachary; and Riley's archenemy, Patches the cat. They are a rag-tag group of survivors, who, when pushed to the limit, realize that they are all each other has.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Fans of horror fiction laced with laughs are likely to be tickled by this droll audio edition that kicks off Tufo’s new series centering on the eponymous canine. To realize the author’s concept—seeing the zombie apocalypse through the eyes of an American Bulldog—narrator Sean Runnette (who performed Tufo’s equally funny Zombie Fallout series) needs to pull off a plausible first-animal narration. He does this and more—convincingly voicing a terrier and a cat, as well as various humans. And listeners won’t find it difficult to differentiate Ben-Ben, the “little pain in the ass Yorkshire Terrier,” from Riley. The story wastes no time rolling up its gory sleeves and getting into the action—and Runnette ably transitions from humorous canine antics to savagery (e.g., when Riley rips the face off a family friend turned zombie), successfully blending horror and humor.

Another Tufo winner

This Book is great....Must read.... I bought both parts together and it was well worth it. Looking for the next book already.

Too Short, but otherwise, perfection!

Sean is great as always, but Tufo really steps it up for this series. He captures canines in a way that is both beautiful and mesmerizing. The two-footers are pretty alright too.

What a wonderful Addition to the stories

What a wonderful addition to the zombie fall out series, I waited so long to download them and now I don't know why.

Love love

Want more from Riley’s point of view and Patches and love love Benny happy attitude

Homeward bound with zombies!

This little series is fantastic! It's a little like the movie Homeward Bound but with zombies. The cat is snarky, the little dog is annoying, and Riley has a big heart. She does what needs to be done to keep the pack safe. There are some sad and disappointing parts in the series, but that keeps the plot moving with high tension and plenty of action. Fabulous story!

Way better than anticipated!!

I love Mark Tufos writing but was skeptical of a book written from a dogs perspective. Oh boy was I wrong!! They are absolutely amazing!! It is a spin from ZF. His brilliant sense of humor and sarcasm come through here. Do not hesitate you will not regret it for a minute. My only complaint is that they are not longer lol.

My dogs named is Riley too!

Listen to this Zombie story many times
So funny being told by a dog
Sad at the end loved it!!!

Typical Tufo brilliance

I love this series. I’ve listened before and I will listen again. Same as ZF. I love the pack. Love the bickering back and forth between Patches and Riley. Mark nails the almost snobby cat attitude and Ben Ben hits the “small dog” silliness perfectly. I love bacon too Ben Ben! I love dogs and I love apocalyptic stories, especially zombies. Mark blended the two and made an amazing series. Sean Runette once again nailed. If you haven’t listened to any Mark Tufo you should give these books a try while they are free. You won’t regret it! 5 stars? No , he needs 10!!!

What great short stories….

I realize these are short stories and small, but they are amazing as of you into the Talbot universe
