In the aftermath of a devastating tsunami and a series of undersea earthquakes, hordes of Clickers swarm onto the California coastline, slaughtering everything in their path.

One day, it starts raining-and never stops. Global super-storms decimate the planet, eradicating most of mankind. Pockets of survivors gather on mountaintops, watching as the waters climb higher and higher. But as the tides rise, something else is rising, too. Now, in the midst of an ecological nightmare, the remnants of humanity face a new menace, in a battle that stretches from the rooftops of submerged cities to the mountaintop islands jutting from the sea. What hope does an already-devastated mankind have against this new supernatural adversary.

Gutsy and her friends, along with Benny and his crew, have just survived a massive attack on New Alamo by the Night Army - a mix of mindless shambling los muertos and sentient half-zombie ravagers. She's also reeling from the revelation that the residents of her town were the lab rats of the biological testing facility linked to creating the most dangerous zom, the Raggedy Man, who controls all of the living dead. And the first raid was only a test. The real Night Army is coming, and this time, it'll be a handful of survivors against seven billion zombies.

When the end finally occurred, everything about it was cinematic. The dead came back and ate people, civilization collapsed, and no one could do a thing. But Cyrus V. Sinclair couldn’t care less; he’s a sociopath. Amidst the chaos, Cyrus sits back and contemplates the gore stained streets and screams of his fellow man with little more emotion than one of the walking corpses. With his cache of guns and MREs, he rather likes the idea of hunkering down in his Seattle apartment while the world ends outside.

One day, it starts raining-and never stops. Global super-storms decimate the planet, eradicating most of mankind. Pockets of survivors gather on mountaintops, watching as the waters climb higher and higher. But as the tides rise, something else is rising, too. Now, in the midst of an ecological nightmare, the remnants of humanity face a new menace, in a battle that stretches from the rooftops of submerged cities to the mountaintop islands jutting from the sea. What hope does an already-devastated mankind have against this new supernatural adversary.

Was and Still Is.
incredible. I read this collection of short stories gotta be a decade or more ago now. Still have a first edition copy of the book. Was excited to check them out on Audible. This collection, like all works from Brian Keene, is a trip into a darker realm of horror fiction than most dare to venture. But those journeys will always be thrilling and you won't return the same reader (or listener) you were before diving in. I beseech you: Read. Keene.

Great collection and good addition!
This is a great companion piece to go along with the Rising and City of the Dead. If you've read those books, this is definitely a big bonus for you. However this can be read or listened to as a standalone as well. Either way it's definitely worth grabbing a copy of.

The deadly dyad continue to destroy your mind
Hempel and Keene are quite the pair. I only wish Edgar Allen Poe had someone to narrate his tales as well as Hempel does here for Keene. This is a brilliant collection of short stories set in Keene's little Zombieverse he's created. I'm assuming you've read his stuff, or love zombies if you're peeking at this book. Get it you won't be disappointed.

I enjoyed this collection of short shorts set in the world of The Rising. Read fast with no shortness of entertainment value. The narrator did an excellent job and paced all of the stories perfectly.

The end of the world from multiple perspectives. Full of laughs and heart, and Keene zombies. Bleak af and devoid of all hope. I really enjoyed this. Solid performance by Joe Hempel.
