The Complete Double Dead

By: Chuck Wendig

Narrated by: T. Ryder Smith

A vampire in Zombieland.

You wouldn't like Coburn. People don't, as a rule; he's not a nice man. And that's okay, because he doesn't like people much either. People are food. You see, Coburn's a vampire, and has been for close on a century.

Five years ago, Coburn went to sleep - wasn't exactly planned - and he's just woken up to find most everybody in the world dead. And not cool, interesting dead like him; oh, no. Coburn looks basically human, and these guys...really don't. He likes blood, and they like flesh. He's smart; them, not so much. But they outnumber him by about a million to one, and their clotted blood cannot sustain him. Now he's starving, and on the run, and more pissed-off than a beestung rattlesnake. The vampire has to find blood, soon, and - like it or not - he's gonna have to keep an eye on the frail flesh-bags he finds it in. Time for the wolf to turn shepherd. No, Coburn doesn't like people. But he's gonna have to learn to.

The Complete Double Dead collects Chuck Wendig's first novel and the follow-up novella, Bad Blood. Follow Coburn as he runs a gauntlet of supermarket cannibals, juggalos, super-zombies, and a ketamine-trip cult of zombie-worshipping New Age weirdos. It's a road that'll take him right back to himself, and onto the trail of his own vampiric sire. And on the way, he'll become something entirely new.

Refreshing on all counts

New take on zombies, and vampires, and the apocalypse. Chuck Wendig does it again. This book was tons of fun start to finish.

Interesting

It caught my interest right away kept me interested the whole time only made better by the voice actor.

Loved every second of it!

I listened to the first couple minutes, expecting to not be interested in it. I'm not really into vampire or zombie books whatsoever. I was immediately sucked into this book. I will be buying the print version of this book to keep on hand to reread later.

Witty & Entertaining

I loved almost everything about this book. The writing was excellent. Narrator did a fantastic job. Wasn't scary (bc I'm a big chicken). It was funny, smart, unique, tragic, and well worth the credit.
However, that ending...WTF, CHUCK?!?!? Sorry, it was very anticlimactic and I have questions. I feel like there are many loose threads and on top of that, there were many better ways to deal with the bad guy. JW was at Alcatraz, ffs!

what a great take on vamps and deaders.

I think the end could have been better but truly this is a good read. no resents here
