About this listen
For the first time, the Internet phenomenon is now in print! Beheading a zombie isn't easy in a world where you're more afraid of the living than the dead. Adrian Ring's simple life is thrown into chaos when the world is ripped apart by a plague of undead and legions of desperate survivors. Retreating to Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy, Adrian attempts to rescue friends and family on the way while dancing around his impending insanity over who and what he left behind, and evading maniac survivors. He saves his cat Otis, but shoots his mom. Pretty successful, all things considered.
Dark Recollections is the first part of Adrian's own story of how he survived after "That Day". Told through his eyes as he talks to his laptop, affectionately named 'Mr. Journal", and through short stories that entwine with his tales that bring forth dark visions of a world being eaten alive by an unimaginable evil. Adrian's Undead Diary is an eight-part epic about a solitary, guilt-stricken man who didn't think he deserved to live, but realized very soon that he survived and suffered for a reason. Dark Recollections is the first book in the AUD series. It covers Adrian's journal entries from September 21st 2010, to December 1st, 2010. Intermingled with his personal diary entries, book one also contains the short stories "Phil's Story", "McGreevy's Report", and "Soccer Mom".
©2010 Chris Philbrook (P)2014 Chris PhilbrookRead the first story and you'll want the rest. I never get bored of it and Philbrook is a writer of immense talent who should be better known. He writes with real craft and above all else, he writes with heart. You'll want Adrian as your best mate, with his witty, self-deprecating humour and stupid big heart, and air punch when he brings the pain to those who threaten his people.
Philbrook's brilliant writing and Foster's virtuoso performance with the material create the perfect storm. Read this, and live every heart pounding day of the apocalypse with Adrian MacArthur Ring. You'll laugh, cry, wince, swear and have a whole host of other emotions. What you won't do is regret buying this book.
Hilarious, chilling, heart-wrenching...

James Foster absolutely nails the narration. I can't imagine anyone else being anywhere near as good and actually find this adds an immersive element to the story.
This is not a zombie gorefest for the sake of shock, so if you are looking for that then look elsewhere. What this does give is an incredible story about humanity in the face of adversity. The emotional rollercoaster gives me laughter, sadness, horror (it is a zombie apocalypse) and hope as we follow Adrian on his journey and the world he lives in. The characters are wonderfully flawed, engaging and likeable (or not). The writing is incredible. You may have realised I like this series. A LOT.
Buy the darn book! And make sure you have enough credits for the rest because I guarantee you'll need them.
Author and Narrator are a match made in heaven
