About this audiobook
Benny Imura’s town is infested with zombies—the scourge of society. But a surprising series of events bring Benny to question who the real monsters are.
Everyone knows kids have to get a job by the time they turn 15 to keep full food rations, and Benny’s deadline is looming. He despises zombies as much as anyone—his parents were killed by them—but Benny figures it’ll be boring whacking zoms for cash.
Yet when he becomes his brother’s apprentice, he discovers there’s more to hunting than he thought ... and more to life than he imagined.
Through Benny’s transformation from apathy to understanding, multiple Bram Stoker Award–winning author Jonathan Maberry tells a moving tale of inner transformation.
“Thrilling, enticing, and surprisingly touching, Rot & Ruin will grip readers from beginning to end. ...”—Heather Brewer, bestselling author
