In Zombies, the absurdity of both life and death are on full display as the best and brightest of a high school prep school become tragically addicted to the latest drug craze - electric shocks from cardiac defibrillators.

Funny, caustic, bizarre, poignant - this story represents everything listeners have come to love and expect from Chuck Palahniuk.

Critic reviews

"Palahniuk is in sublime, caustic form; his story subjects even more wickedly bold." ( Independent)
"Savage, disturbing and frequently hilarious, this is writing at its boldest." ( Grazia)

In this poignant short story, Chuck hits the nail on the head with his descriptions of the crippling depression and existential dread that only the intelligent seem to suffer and the lack of a remedy for it other than suicide or brain trauma. Happy idiots.

Happy idiots.

It's Chuck Palahniuk at his best! A great satire of the epidemic of escapism so rampant in our society now. It's quick and a great listen.

Brief but great!

If you hurt yourself, you hurt me. I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t this.

It's an ok story, wasn't overly pushed on the performance however. It's definitely worth the money and it's worth listening to but it wouldn't be something I would recommend.
