Apocalypse Barnes

The Gentrified Dead, Book 1

By: Andrew Lawston

Narrated by: Hedge T Haiden

First comes nausea...then unconsciousness...then the hunger.

After the leafy streets of affluent London suburb Barnes are overwhelmed with shambling, bloodthirsty creatures, two uninfected survivors struggle to escape the well-heeled undead horde, via the wobbly green towers of Hammersmith Bridge. Featuring combat juggling, a deadly farmer's market, and the panto rehearsal of the dead, this comedy zombie adventure is truly...posh-apocalyptic.

Zombies of London!

This was an enjoyable short book about an ordinary guy getting caught up in a zombie apocalypse. It was fast paced and easy to read. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I lived in the UK because there were a lot of references to things that only a Londoner would appreciate. There was plenty of humor, but a lot of it was beyond me because of these things.

The narrator did a good job, but every time the young boy spoke, I felt like I was listening to a Monty Python skit.
