📝 Description: Castle

Chris Harris presents a post-apocalyptic narrative in Castle, published by Vulpine Press. The story follows Tom, Becky, and their two children as they join a traveling group seeking refuge at Zombie Castle. This destination offers survival in a world overrun by the undead. Their journey involves constant combat against zombies, requiring them to adapt everyday tools into weapons and convert vehicles into mobile fighting platforms. The group encounters an unexpected addition: a band of knights armed with medieval weaponry. These new allies bring specialized skills but also complicate the mission, as they must search for surviving family members. The travelers face not only the undead threat but also the darker aspects of human nature encountered along the way. Harris grounds this tale in the traditions of survival fiction and gothic horror, blending modern zombie tropes with medieval combat elements. The book suits readers who enjoy gritty, action-driven supernatural tales where humanity is tested as much as the monsters. It may not appeal to those seeking lighthearted adventure or pure historical fantasy without modern context. The narrative focuses on the harsh reality of reaching a goal in a broken world.
