📝 Description: Zombified: Book One: Hudson Place

Char Robinson’s Zombified presents a narrative where a viral outbreak transforms the global population into zombies. Mick Carter and his extended family accept an invitation from his boss, Dave Martin, to reside in a fortified warehouse alongside other selected households.

The characters must confront both the undead threat and additional hostile forces to succeed. The novel operates within the horror and supernatural fiction traditions, focusing on survival mechanics and group dynamics under extreme duress. Robinson structures the story around the interplay between the fortified community and the external mission undertaken by Thompson. The narrative demands that its protagonists display significant strength and courage to overcome the obstacles they face. This work is suitable for readers who enjoy detailed accounts of societal breakdown and zombie apocalypse scenarios.
