Synopsis

Benny Imura’s town is infested with zombies—the scourge of society. But a surprising series of events bring Benny to question who the real monsters are.

Everyone knows kids have to get a job by the time they turn 15 to keep full food rations, and Benny’s deadline is looming. He despises zombies as much as anyone—his parents were killed by them—but Benny figures it’ll be boring whacking zoms for cash.
Yet when he becomes his brother’s apprentice, he discovers there’s more to hunting than he thought … and more to life than he imagined.

Through Benny’s transformation from apathy to understanding, multiple Bram Stoker Award–winning author Jonathan Maberry tells a moving tale of inner transformation.

“Thrilling, enticing, and surprisingly touching, Rot & Ruin will grip readers from beginning to end. …”—Heather Brewer, bestselling author

This is what I learned from reading Rot & Ruin: 1. Zombies iz people too. So they should be treated with respect, yo. (more about this later) 2. Books containing zombies can be really irritating and boring. You see, I didn't know this was a possibility. I mean, it's zombies we're talking about here.......more

Goodreads review by Kat Kennedy

My little brother and I generally get along very well. Except for an occasional intellectual disagreements on ethics, morality, religion or politics we're pretty close. However, he can sometimes be a naive pain-in-the-butt. Until reading Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry, I assumed this was something t......more

Goodreads review by Trudi

I have been on a zombie reading frenzy lately – I see a zombie book and I must read it, I can’t help myself. And the books are coming fast and furious, especially in the YA area.
