The Living Remnants

By: Marc Johnson

Narrated by: Louise Cooksey

Esmeralda, one of the human survivors of an apocalyptic war, now lives a precarious life as a servant to a family of zombies. She knows she’s better off than many other humans, who are imprisoned in breeding camps and slaughtered for food. Her masters treat her well, and their young daughter reminds Esme of her own little girl, killed during the war. But Esme can’t forget everything she’s lost—or the knowledge that her masters could turn on her at any moment. When rebels interrupt the zombies’ supply of human food, Esme’s position becomes even more dangerous. And this time, the price of survival may be more than she is prepared to pay.

A concept that is much larger than the word count

*I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review. This is it.

Esme has a job to do. She is very lucky to even have one after the war and losing her family. She misses her daughter terribly and that’s part of the reason she stays at her job with Lizzie instead of leaving to join the Living Remnants.

A very well done short with a concept that is much larger than the word count would indicate. The narration was a bit clunky in parts and almost threw me off a few times, but hung in there and was glad I did. Looking forward to more from this author.

Zombie overlords!?!!??

What an awesome concept. It’s a shame it was only a short story. Smart zombies with enslaved humans!? What a novel post apocalypse viewpoint. Enjoyed it just wish there was more of it! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Living with the Undead

I wish it was longer. I loved the character of Esme the servant of zombies who treats Lizzie like she would have as her own until the end. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you

Enjoy The Meat!!!

This was an enjoyable, quick story. The background is told in such a way you feel like you have read all the stories and are now just a silent observer.
Interesting take on the ZomPoc genre.

I requested a free preview audio book of this title and i am leaving a voluntary review.

I thought this was pretty good for a half hour long story. It kind of felt like a part of a much longer story. I liked the premise of humans as slaves/food to zombies.
