About this listen
You don't know when it will change your life, or how, but the zombie plague is spreading quickly and in ways that no one could have imagined.
In Part I, an independently-hired researcher watches a mysterious plague decimate an island and takes notes with a gun-toting guard at his side. But the brisk waters of the Puget Sound can't keep it from spreading to the mainland.
In Part II, follow the infection from chapter to chapter and person to person. A frightened neighborhood cat, a harmless fishing trip, a room full of infected preschoolers. Perhaps someone will deliver it right to your front door. How kind.
Featuring short stories that showcase the many ways in which a disease can overwhelm a city, The Spread will get you thinking of how mundane acts can become deadly.
No matter your precautions, the spread will reach you. Of that you can be sure.

Story
In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed. Someday soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker, and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission....

Untested and rushed to market, the people don’t care. In droves they line up, hoping to avoid the deadly virus. Too late, they discover there is something much worse than the virus unleashed on the United States; something so hideous and terrifying, it will make the virus look like a bad case of the flu.

My heart pounds in my chest, memories flooding my head. I have to focus on my daughter, Nelle, but I can’t escape the panicked questions rushing in. How do they know about Betty? And what else do they know?

What does Todd Menesses bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He did a great job with this book.Any additional comments?
I really like how in this book you follow the pathogen not the charaters.Spread, is every mother's nightmare.I love how it went from patient 0 and followed each character who crossed paths.Even though there were multiple story's,they were so well done,they We're seamless.I love the articulate and accurate way each story is told.The stories of each person and even the animals,make you stop and examine your daily actions of where you go ,what you do and the things you touch and ingest.It was brilliantly done! And I look forward to reading more book by both of these Authors.Well done!As I go off to wash my hands. :)It was a refreshingThe Spread: A Zombie Short Story CollectionA new take on an old tale.Follow the spread of the virouse
