It was always a joke. The “what ifs” and the planning were just conversations to have fun with. Who would be the first to go? Where would people be safe? Who would survive the zombie apocalypse?

No one is laughing anymore.

Awakening to a nightmare, Dan Foster is forced to flee his suburban Chicago home. Together with his wife Abby and little girl Katie, they begin a dangerous trek across the wintery Midwest in hopes to reconnect with his brother in the heartland of Wisconsin. Dan soon discovers the ravenous hordes of undead are not the only things out there that threaten the lives of his family. Can he stay the man he is, or will he need to become something more dangerous in order to protect the ones he loves?

In the end, how much of Dan’s humanity will survive this dying world?

Review

"Dean's writing style is so natural and witty that you, as the reader, will be skipping along behind him while he leads you headlong into the zombie apocalypse."  -  Eric A. Shelman, author of the highly successful Dead Hunger series

About the Author

James Dean was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1975. He earned his Emergency Medical Technician's license, serving for 3 years before returning to school to earn a AAS degree in electronics technology. He has worked in the technology field for 14 years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.. He currently lives in a suburb of Chicago with his wife and 2 kids. James has always been interested in writing, penning his first very short story in 4th grade. He's written several short stories over the years, from horror to sword and sorcery genres. But he gave up writing for several years, until he discovered the world of indie authors, thanks to people like Mark Tufo and Eric Shelman. James was bitten by the writing bug, which has led to his first full length novel, This Dying World: The End Begins. Thanks for checking out this new author's profile, and I hope that you enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
