Check out Robin's new story at Necessary Fiction
Forget contemporary American literature--former college professor Jack Barnes has a new passion: Brains. It’s in his nature…he’s a
zombie. But he’s not your normal, vacant-eyed, undead idiot. No, Jack Barnes has something most other victims of the zombie apocalypse
don’t have: sentience. In fact, he can even write. And the story he has to tell is a truly disturbing--yet strangely heartwarming--one.
Convinced he’ll bring about a peaceful coexistence between zombies and humans if he can demonstrate his unique condition to the man
responsible for the zombie virus, Howard Stein, Barnes sets off on a grueling cross-country journey to meet his maker. Along the way he
meets more like him, rotting brain-eaters who have retained some sort of cognitive ability, and soon forms a small army that will stop
at nothing to reach their goal. There’s Guts, the agile, dread-locked boy who can run like the wind; Joan, the matronly nurse adept at
re-attaching rotting appendages; Annie, the young girl with a fierce quick-draw; and Ros, who can actually speak coherent sentences.
Together they make their way through an eerie new world of roving zombie hunters, empty McMansions, and clogged highways on a quest to
attain what all men, women--and apparently zombies--yearn for: equality.
