It all began with a photo I took of Sydney’s city skyline at sunset while I was on holiday. I looked at the picture and wondered, “What would happen if the lights didn’t come on ever again?”. The next day, while wandering through the CBD, my love of zombie stories and dislike of crowds gave birth to “what would happen if zombies came pouring out of that underground railway station, at this very minute?” No access to weapons, no preparation time, and stuck in the middle of the largest city in the country. Writing this story gave me the opportunity to explore the Zombie Apocalypse from an Australian perspective. The action also takes place in obscure locations only locals are familiar with (providing a decidedly dark and twisted tour of the Australian coastline and countryside).

The second story takes place in the Australian bushland and in a tiny country town. Page after page of dark humour (in some cases, very dark humour), difficult decisions, and an army of flesh-eating ghouls provide more than enough nightmare fuel to last you a lifetime. The characters quickly learn that every decision has consequences, and life isn’t always fair. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the research I did for this book landed me on a Federal watch list.

The third book in the series starts with a bang and doesn’t let up. Individual resourcefulness and guile are virtues the characters have to rely on as much as they rely on each other. The story gives you the opportunity to explore more of the Australian countryside and to discover just how devious the main character can be when dealing with the dark underbelly of human nature.
