About this listen
"By now almost everyone knows that the concept of the modern flesh-eating zombie originated in the sixties with Night of the Living Dead™. That's why I think that this anthology of short stories paying homage to that fact is a wonderful idea. When I was asked to write such a story, I was told that each and every story in the book would have to take place in or around the time, in 1968, when the horror classic that I co-authored took place… Perhaps, for you, dear reader, some of the stories you will read in these pages will take their place as some of your very own favorites. Please step back with me into the 1960's – a time of peaceniks, rednecks and unspeakable zombie horror!!"

The Omega Covid variant hits the world, and it's different. It kills the unvaccinated but the dead don't stay dead. When the dead rise they have one aim and that is to kill the uninfected to spread the plague. But there is something ominous behind the variant, it has been designed, it has a purpose. Carl, a self declared middle aged loser, finds himself having to learn the art of survival in a real life zombie apocalypse, where the dead are just part of the problem. A new world order is trying to assert itself; they engineered the Omega variant, which is just the beginning of their plans.
