Mortuous 28: Ashes of Civilization by Kevin W. K. Moore
A decade after pandemics, war, and collapse have gutted the world order. Lines in the dirt have been redrawn, militaries are exhausted, and the once-dominant superpowers no longer have the might to protect and police the world. When civilization is just getting back to its feet, a mysterious virus tears across the globe, turning anything with a heartbeat into ravenous, undead beasts, starved for their next meal of fresh flesh.
Thaddeus Stormbreaker, a hardened Finnish-Canadian immigrant forged by a survivalist father and Indigenous mentorship, must carve his way through a North American hellscape. Armed with his rifle, machete, and souped-up camper van, he must battle both the infected and the depraved remnants of humankind in a desperate bid to cross a continent, save a lost love, and reach the last unspoiled refuge on the planet.
In this blood-slicked and brain-splattered new world, Thaddeus Stormbreaker will soon learn that man’s lust for power is as insatiable as the zombified beasts.
Seething with gore, violence, vile human behaviour, and hordes of festering, undead monsters, this unrelenting nightmarish odyssey is sure to satisfy your lust for gut-wrenching carnage and bloodcurdling despair.
Fans of The Walking Dead, The Only Good Indians and anything by Max Brooks will welcome this fresh take on the wide world of zombies.
