Publisher's summary

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.

Perfectly Ridiculous

Absolutely loved this book. You have to go into it knowing it reads like a comedy. If you take this story to seriously you'll completely miss out on how wonderfully ridiculous it is. I found myself completely cackling at parts of this book in the best way. This book is 100% worth the listen.

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!

The humour

The story was gripping and very well constructed. The voice actor was brilliant and I am looking forward to reading more of his books

Quite a nice surpise!

An interesting and different take on vampires and zombies. Excellent characters vividly brought to life...or...death! The narrator was fantastic. More of an actor than a reader. He was a perfect match for the smart-ass, snarky lead character! You won't learn anything from this book, but you'll enjoy the movie Cbuck creates in your mind.

Give it a try and stick with it!

Wasn’t going to listen to this at first; but happy that I did. Entertaining as hell, even laughed out loud a few times. Coburn reminded me of the late Norm Macdonald, Negan, and Sam Rockwell all rolled into one. Give it a chance and enjoy!

A fun and wild ride!

I’m a big fan of Chuck Wedwig, is writing is always an adventure. These books were so much fun. An interesting concept of vampire in the zombie apocalypse. The character is funny and the story is engaging. I loved it from start to finish!
