Punks Versus Zombies - Punk Rock Survival in a Zombie Apocalypse | Post-Apocalyptic Audio Serial

I’m thrilled to announce that Punks Versus Zombies is officially launching to Kindle on September 1—and I’m not just releasing one book.

I’m dropping the entire zombie-fuelled trilogy in one go.

That’s right—Punks Versus Zombies, Undead Anarchy, and Punk’s Not Dead will all be available from day one.

This is a gritty, emotional survival horror story about loyalty, family, and DIY ethics in a dying world.

It’s everything I love about the zombie genre—tight character drama, visceral stakes, and a soundtrack of rage and resilience.

Here’s the deal:

• Book one, Punks Versus Zombies, is just 99p/99c on Kindle for a limited time (regular price £4.99/$4.99).

• All three books are available now for pre-order.

• The price will go up after launch, so now’s the best time to grab them.

If you enjoy the tension of The Walking Dead, the chaos of Train to Busan, or you just want a zombie story with bite, this one’s for you.

Pre-order now and be ready to binge the entire trilogy on September 1.

When a malfunctioning “mind-enhancing” gadget turns last-minute Christmas shoppers into the technically undead, reluctant mall Santa Frank must trade his gift list for a weaponized candy cane.

With a ragtag team including a by-the-book security guard, a tech-savvy teenager, and a seven-year-old who still believes in Christmas magic, he’ll discover that sometimes the best holiday gifts are survival and redemption—if he can just keep his polyester beard from itching long enough to save the day.

Thanks for listening1!

I hope you enjoyed Niamh’s Journey as much as I enjoyed writing.

I wanted to explore the impossible choices parents face during crisis through the lens of a zombie apocalypse. While zombie stories often focus on action heroes or hardened survivors, I was interested in examining how an ordinary mother would navigate this nightmare while trying to preserve not just her child's safety, but his innocence.

The story deliberately plays with our expectations - starting in a cozy domestic scene of bathtime and bedtime stories before plunging into horror. I tried to keep the focus tight on Neev's internal struggle between protecting Sean and maintaining her humanity in an increasingly inhuman world.

For me, the heart of the story lies in those quiet moments between the chaos - Neev telling pirate stories to keep Sean calm, the family under the truck begging for help, Chad's harsh but necessary lessons about survival. It's about how crisis strips away our civilized veneer while also revealing depths of sacrifice and love we never knew we possessed.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Did Neev's choices resonate with you? What would you have done in her situation?

Let me know if you'd like to see more stories exploring parenthood in impossible situations.

Thanks again!

Jon
