I literally miss this series every time I see the word “podcast” it was the best little surprise while I was waiting for my audible credit to come in...I wasn’t expecting much of it but I was so enthralled I listened to it all hours of the day!! Loved it so much, I might listen to it again!

Once I got used to the author's voice I enjoyed this story. I enjoyed the way he mixed the individual character back stories into the overall plot. Like most stories of this kind there are characters you love and those you hate. I was sorry to see this story come to an end.

Sturgisbob · Jul 2016

Follows all the zombie rules. Good audio production. Well written and compelling story.

I agree with others with the voice. I actually stopped listening to it after episode one for a few months. Then on a long drive I figured I'd give it another try. And guess what? It's actually pretty good. I was disappointed that it ended. Really good story.

Of course everyone mentions the voice, but I could have gotten past that if only this podcast wasn’t so sexist and downright gross with the mid 30’s man/minor female relationship. Ew, dude. It really does feel like the author is writing his gross apocalyptic sexual scenario where women fight over him. The story could totally do without. I do like the amount of detail and explanation they go into about the zombies. I wish I could keep listening but I keep getting grossed out by how amazing this guy thinks he is and the pitiful, beautiful women throwing themselves at him. Trust me, no woman is going to be focusing on those things when you’re being chased by zombies.

Much like the made for TV after school movie, you find yourself listening to it and asking why am I still doing this unable to turn it off. Yes the narrator reads it off void of any emotion or enthusiasm. The story itself had such potential, but instead of going into detail about the subject we are here for zombies, he will focus on the back story to a throw away comment that someone made that didn't have much to do about anything. When the story really takes a turn that one can get into, it's brushed aside and glazed over. The ending as well was the same as the rest of the story could have been more just ending leaving you asking why did I spend all this time listening to it. Hope he learns and has a better go next time.
