Dead of Night

A Zombie Novel

By: Jonathan Maberry

Narrated by: William Dufris

A prison doctor injects a condemned serial killer with a formula designed to keep his consciousness awake while his body rots in the grave. But all drugs have unforeseen side-effects. Before he could be buried, the killer wakes up. Hungry. Infected. Contagious. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang…but a bite.

Critic reviews

“This has to be one of the best traditional zombie tales I've ever read... This is a zombie book for the ages.” —Seattle Post Intelligencer

“Maberry grounds the story with scientific confidence, spares no attention to detail, and presents the undead as more than faceless targets.” —Publishers Weekly

Great book!

The story was fast moving, the characters seemed real, and the story was "believable", as far as zombie stories go. Can't wait for th next book!

excellent fresh take on Zombies

I thoroughly enjoyed njoyed this Zombie to type novel. characters believable and a decent explanation of how an apocalypse of this type could start. Raw, gritty and kept me listening with good progression of story while still developing characters.

Very good book

I really enjoyed this book. I do wish it would have more sound effects in the audible version like they do in some other books. That would be my only complaint.

Great book buy a horrible narrator

This was a good read but the narration was just god awful. I really wish they would just have Ray Porter redo all JM books that he didn't get a chance to.

Good story potential but the narrator RUINED it!

Being a big fan of Jonathan Maberry, I tried... I mean I really tried... to like this novel. But after a couple hours listening to the extreme and unnecessary over acting (can you say over-the-top?) of the narrator (William Dufris) I just couldn't take it any more. It was literally painful to listen to. I strongly encourage Mr Dufris take a lesson from other far more capable narrators such as Ray Porter and RC Bray. If not, then a change in profession would be a wise choice.

Such a shame, as I'm sure Maberry's book is worth a read. But trust me, in this form it is NOT worth a listen. <sigh>
