Cities of the Dead: Stories from the Zombie Apocalypse

by William Young

Overview

Over the course of a few weeks, a contagion spreads across the planet, quickly killing almost half of the world's population and turning those who remain into two camps: the living, and the undead. And the undead take the upper hand in short order, forcing the remaining humans into hiding, grasping at any means to live another day.

Told over the course of thirty stories, including two distinct character arcs, this collection takes the reader on a journey from Day Zero, when pandemonium reigns, to the last, final, desperate hope for mankind. Follow the story of Patient Zero and the adventures of Will and Frank, a pair of men who search for safety while flying gyrocopters above the devastation. As the years grind by, watch how people cope in a variety of ways to stay one step ahead of the ever-evolving zombies.

The stories span the globe, from a small French town to the Australian Outback to a burning city in Mexico, the entire world is on the brink of collapse and the extinction of humanity looms ever closer. Enter this world and ask yourself: How long would you survive?
