In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen or get their rations cut in half. Benny doesn't want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be human.

Rot and Ruin reimagines the zombie world through the eyes of a teenager as he becomes a man. Dealing with themes of responsibility, coming of age and violence, we are taken on an emotional ride with serious characters who will stay with you for many years.

This is probably my favourite series of books ever.
