They didn’t always follow us. There was a time before the Blobs.

This is the official record—assembled from surviving footage, interviews, dramatizations, and conflicting eyewitness accounts. The first arrival. The first host. The first questions no one could answer.

Before the theories spiraled out of control. Before we stopped wondering why a Blob chooses its host… there was a single Blob that started it all.

Can humanity survive under constant, invisible surveillance— where punishment is delivered without warning, trial, or appeal, and life itself depends on understanding what not to do?

It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we don’t have a choice.

"Adrian's Undead Diary series is a must have for your zompoc collection." Ben S Reeder, Author of The Zompoc Survivor Series
"A kick-ass protagonist. Bad-ass zombies. A cool-ass thrill ride. Adrian's Undead Diary is easily one of the best zombie tales out there. Chris Philbrook is on my keeper shelf." Rachel Aukes, best selling author of 100 Days in Deadland.
"A realistic account of the zombie apocalypse that sucks you right in. A great series!" T.W. Piperbrook, author of the Contamination series.

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 scores 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 horror story of how he survived after the zombie apocalypse of "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 that didn't think he deserved to live, but realizes very soon that he survived, and suffered for a reason.

It's a great read for anyone. The stories are well written, characters build carefully and every detail is covered. People, this is what a great book looks like! Stop reading this review and start reading the book! -Frank D of zombie-guide.com

I don't even think one needs to be a fan of zombie fiction to end up a fan of AUD; because Chris's talent can't be pigeonholed into one limited, literary genre. His true talent lies in weaving an enduring, sweeping story that does exactly what it's supposed to do... pulls you in, engrosses you, evokes emotion, and leaves you satisfied (if not a little bit sad) when it's over. In the case of AUD, for me, the zombies are just a bonus! -Wendi Haegle

Jack Wilson found himself riding in the back of a pickup truck wondering how everything could have gone so wrong. He looked up the road and caught a glimpse of the strange, enclosed city looming in the distance. His father had agreed to leave the safety of their secluded cabin in the mountains and travel hundreds of miles with him to try and find Lori. It had been over two years since he saw her last. Jack loved her desperately but had no idea how she felt toward him. They had prepared for months, planning out every detail--or so he had thought. Now Jack's father was dead, the plan was totally shot, and he was making it up as he went along with his life in the balance. He had four days to infiltrate the city, find Lori, and escape before he would surely be discovered and killed. He couldn't have dreamed how the next four days and a mysterious letter from his father would forever change his life. Wake Up, O Sleeper is a page-turning thrill ride that you won't be able to put down. The shocking ending will leave you asking: 'Am I awake or asleep?'

Anthropologist Olivia West never believed in monsters—until her best friend Emma disappears after returning to the place that haunts their childhood memories: Heaven’s Bottom, a hidden Kentucky town shrouded in mist and secrets.

As children, Olivia and Emma stumbled into the secluded town and left with chilling, impossible memories. Emma believes they witnessed a ritual sacrifice and the undead. Olivia, ever the skeptic, is determined to find the truth—and Emma.

Detective Steven Lewis has his own reasons to investigate Heaven’s Bottom. His wife died under suspicious circumstances while running her own investigation of the town. Officially, it was a wild animal attack. Steven knows better.

When Olivia and Steven team up, their uneasy alliance ignites a spark neither expected. But they’re not the only ones with a stake in the town’s dark past. Sheriff Noah McCracken—sworn to protect Heaven’s Bottom’s legacy—warns Olivia to leave. Old tensions flare into dangerous chemistry, and a rivalry is born.

As buried secrets claw to the surface, science and superstition collide. Can Olivia trust either man? Will Steven and Noah put aside their feud to save her—or will the town’s undead past claim more victims?

SPECIAL BONUS: As a reader appreciation gift, the short story Gimlet is included FREE at the end of the book. The Shaken, Not Stirred, mystery/horror story takes place after A Pink Zombie, with a Mist.
