Peaceful suburbia on Poplar Street in Wentworth, Ohio, takes a turn for the ugly when four vans containing armed "regulators" terrorize the street's residents, cold-bloodedly killing anyone foolish enough to step outside their homes.

Featured Article: The 20 Best Survival Audiobooks for the Prepper in All of Us
Whether we’re focused on the apocalypse or just an ill-timed breakdown on the side of a particularly remote road, there’s something about imagining survival scenarios that can be addictive. On some level, we all wonder if we would have what it takes to pit ourselves against the worst the world can possibly offer and make it out alive. That’s why it’s no surprise that survival literature is so popular, and that the stories in the genre are so diverse.

Where, not a minute before, there had been a suburb, there was now only woodland standing amid ruins. There is no warning. No chance to prepare. They arrive in the night: thundering up through the ground, transforming streets and towns into shadowy forest. Buildings are destroyed.

Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe.

The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

The cause of the devastation is a phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse, and the delivery method is a cell phone. Everyone's cell phone. Clay and the few desperate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in the pitch-black night of civilization's darkest age, surrounded by chaos, carnage, and a human horde that has been reduced to its basest nature...and then begins to evolve.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,687
Peaceful suburbia on Poplar Street in Wentworth, Ohio, takes a turn for the ugly when four vans containing armed "regulators" terrorize the street's residents, cold-bloodedly killing anyone foolish enough to step outside their homes. Houses mysteriously transform into log cabins, and the street now ends in what looks like a child's hand-drawn Western landscape. Masterminding this sudden onslaught is the evil creature Tak, who has taken over the body of an autistic eight-year-old boy, Seth Garin.

Even the most die-hard baseball fans don't know the true story of William Blockade Billy Blakely. He may have been the greatest player the game has ever seen, but today no one remembers his name. He was the first - and only - player to have his existence completely removed from the record books.

Mr. King's done it again!
Great book and performance. Music was a bit distracting yet didn't interfere with the narration.

Great!
Amazingly written. Never a boring moment. Just pure suspense. And attention to detail. Nothing short of what I expect from Stephan King.

Very good.
Not Stephen's best, but VERY good nonetheless. Inspirational, agonizing, and spooky at the same time.

Great story
This was a great story. I love Stephen King and he lives up to his reputation of drawing me in. We all are fascinated by the woods and he did an outstanding job of telling a story of survival.

Loved it
Can’t believe I never heard of this book until now. Classic Stephen King. The narration was great except for one glaring error - I wish Anne Heche would have learned the actual tune to the 1-800-54GIANT jingle. Anyone from Boston knows that the tune she was singing was completely wrong! Otherwise the book was entirely entertaining!

Very poor quality Audio
The book itself is absolutely wonderful. I have listened to it before in audio by another narrator and it drew me in.
This version, however, had me annoyed more often than enthralled. The narrator was fine, I suppose. The volume levels between chapters are abrupt and too sharp. The narration gets confusing when all voices start to sound the same as the book material being read out loud. And then there's the music. Oh. My. Lort. The music between the chapters...
Every time I would start to get really invested in the story, one of those cheesy "Nosferatu"-type horror tunes would pop in and completely pull me away from it. Extremely frustrating.
There's a point near the end where the transition of chapters has absolutely way too long of a pause. I thought the book ended too soon only to see that there was still a chapter countdown timer running.
The book itself is fantastic, but this version of Audiobook is poorly edited. I prefer the version I had listened to before this one.
