Publisher's Summary

An unstoppable curse. A dead man displaced from his time. How do you survive the zombie apocalypse when you started it?

Digby Graves, a deceased medieval peasant with delusions of grandeur, is trying to figure out how the hell he ended up in Seattle 800 years after his death. Also, why does he have necrotic magic coursing through his zombified body? Added to that is the fact that he made a terrible first impression the moment he woke up by lunging at the first person that came into biting range. 

Now, the curse he's unleashed is loose in the world. Digby has a target on his back and only fragmented memories of his death. He needs to survive long enough to put the pieces back together, learn what it means to lead the horde, and master his power over the dead. Digby might even find a few accomplices along the way, if he can hold off on eating them.

The end of the world is gonna get weird.

Finally, a Zombie Apocalypse written by an Author who graduated high school.

Granted this is as much GameLit as it is a Zombie book. However, in spite of having tried to listen to many of the Zombie books on Audible, only a handful could be said to be written by actual authors.

99% of what’s available on Audible in this genre is unedited, abysmally conceived, and poorly executed garbage, with plots so thin you could use them to jimmy a door lock.

So what a surprise it was when I found this book to be engaging, well written, and funny. Whether you’re a GameLit fan, or an apocalypse junky, or just a sci-if/fantasy enthusiast you won’t be disappointed.

Resident Evil, Zombies, LITRPG all into one glorious package

First off let’s start with how this book literally kept me to the point were I refused to stop listening to it.

Our MC storms a castle, becomes a Mage, dies, becomes living dead, is woken by some scientists 800 years later, accidentally starts a zombie apocalypse, and now has to run by some zealots who want a new world order. Like can a guy catch a break. Their are twists and turns and a snarky system giving him updates.

Excellent flow to the book and character development. The flashbacks are nice to fill in the backstory and flush out the characters. As usual Travis did an amazing job with Narration. Definitely worth the credit and can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Ravenous

I don't know if I started the LitRPG genre is essentially funny and well written or if I started with brilliance.

Phenomenal Start! to a hopefully long series.

loved it from start to finish, can't wait for the next one! zombie gamelit goodness.

litrpg/Zombie

this is a great book. the story and the mc is well written. I enjoyed this book and can't wait until book 2.

Hungry for More

A fun adventure in a genre blending series that I'm stoked to continue
Travis Baldree delivers another amazing performance. And Mountaindale Press adds another amazing LitRPG to their catalogue.

Wow

Travis is great as always. This is a very entertaining take on the zombie mob in general, bundled in a a fun, gore filled man who traveled through time story. Zombies haven't been this cool in ages any I can't wait for the next book.

must listen!!

the story add the acting was good if you like the divine dungeon series you'll like this

A bitingly good time

I devoured this book, and it's fun rapscalion portrayal from a *slightly* misunderstood perspective. For the end of the world, for friendship, and for unknown commitments to mysterious entities who definitely won't be anything but helpful down the road. Enjoy this treat.

Yes, buy this.

I am not a fan of zombie type stories/movies/T.V. programs as there are so many and they all seem to be the same thing. This is not like any of those and was a very enjoyable listen. Mr. Petire does an excellent job weaving humor into this story and Mr. Baldree's narration sync's well with the story and characters.

great narrator and story

I loved every character they where distinctive and recognisable the story was well thought out
