In this new classic of apocalyptic fiction that feels all too real,
the Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. The
documentary-style oral history records the testimony of men, women,
and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at
least the undead, hell of that dreadful time.
WORLD WAR Z’s publication in 2006 ushered in the
current pop culture craze for all things zombie–
Audiofile
Magazine praised the original edition as being “in the grand
tradition of War of the Worlds” and
Library Journal called
it “a grand experience.” Brooks’ legions of fans will now hear the
whole story—again vividly brought to life by a full cast.
