Complete Double Dead
Complete Double Dead | Chuck Wendig
3 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
A Vampire in Zombieland. You wouldn t like Coburn. People don t, as a rule; he s not a nice man. And that s okay, because he doesn t like people much either. People are food. You see, Coburn s a vampire, and has been for close on a century. Five years ago, Coburn went to sleep wasn t exactly planned and he s just woken up to find most everybody in the world dead. And not cool, interesting dead like him; oh, no. Coburn looks basically human, and these guys... really don t. He likes blood, and they like flesh. He s smart; them, not so much. But they outnumber him by about a million to one, and their clotted blood cannot sustain him. Now he s starving, and on the run, and more pissed-off than a beestung rattlesnake. The vampire has to find blood, soon, and like it or not he s gonna have to keep an eye on the frail flesh-bags he finds it in. Time for the wolf to turn shepherd. No, Coburn doesn t like people. But he s gonna have to learn to. The Complete Double Dead collects Chuck Wendig s first novel and the follow-up novella, Bad Blood. Follow Coburn as he runs a gauntlet of supermarket cannibals, juggalos, super-zombies, and a ketamine-trip cult of zombie-worshipping New Age weirdos. It s a road that ll take him right back to himself, and onto the trail of his own vampiric sire. And on the way, he ll become something entirely new."

I‘ve been in a mini-rut. Started and stopped about 4 different books before listening and finishing The Singularity Trap, which was listenable but not all that special. So, sometimes when I can get into something new I‘ll choose a book to listen to that I enjoyed in print but never listened to in audio. So I went with Double Dead, because I need some happy Holiday Cheer and for that nothing is better than a surly Vampire in a Zombie Apocalypse.

SW-T Loved Coburn! Double Dead was my first Wendig read. 5y

Coburn likes blood. The Zombies like brains. He‘s smart, they‘re not. But they do outnumber him by about a million to one. Now he‘s starving, nocturnal, and more pissed-off than usual. not only has he got to find human survivors, but now he has to protect them. Think the walking dead with Damon from VD and you have the Double Dead. Full of the usual Wendig laugh out loud one liners and plot twists 5 ⭐️

UglyOldBat Really need to read some of his stuff. What would you recommend starting with? 7y
Grim_Reader This is a great read. Or you could read the Miriam Black series. But he has plenty to choose from I‘ve not read them all, yet. @abandonallhope 7y
