About this listen

Brian Keene's seminal novel The Rising and its sequel, City of the Dead, revitalized the horror genre and gave zombie fans a new reason to celebrate. Since their original publication a decade ago, readers have hoped for a return to that universe.

The Rising: Selected Scenes from the End of the World is a collection of short stories set in the world of The Rising, examining the history of the Siqqusim, the arrival of the first zombie, the fall of mankind, and the terrifying events that occur after City of the Dead's conclusion.

Featuring both new characters and beloved fan-favorites, this globe-spanning saga elevates the horror to new heights. If you are a fan of Keene's zombie mythos, you cannot miss this book!

This is a great companion piece to go along with the Rising and City of the Dead. If you've read those books, this is definitely a big bonus for you. However this can be read or listened to as a standalone as well. Either way it's definitely worth grabbing a copy of.

Great collection and good addition!

I enjoyed this collection of short shorts set in the world of The Rising. Read fast with no shortness of entertainment value. The narrator did an excellent job and paced all of the stories perfectly.

A very good collection of Rising shorts

The end of the world from multiple perspectives. Full of laughs and heart, and Keene zombies. Bleak af and devoid of all hope. I really enjoyed this. Solid performance by Joe Hempel.

A nice collection of stories from Keene’s mythos. Highly recommend after reading the City of the Dead.

Hempel and Keene are quite the pair. I only wish Edgar Allen Poe had someone to narrate his tales as well as Hempel does here for Keene. This is a brilliant collection of short stories set in Keene's little Zombieverse he's created. I'm assuming you've read his stuff, or love zombies if you're peeking at this book. Get it you won't be disappointed.

incredible. I read this collection of short stories gotta be a decade or more ago now. Still have a first edition copy of the book. Was excited to check them out on Audible. This collection, like all works from Brian Keene, is a trip into a darker realm of horror fiction than most dare to venture. But those journeys will always be thrilling and you won't return the same reader (or listener) you were before diving in. I beseech you: Read. Keene.
