| Editor’s Notes Undead Teenager is very much a story written for teenagers and young adults of this generation. Between unrestrained teen angst, video games, cartoons and half- brained politics, Undead Teenager unleashes a wicked humor specifically for children of the past twenty years. Written in raw, first person perspective, the story tells a gripping tale of survival while following the narrator during the most awkward and difficult time of anyone’s life. "Watching (Zack Welder) struggle to move through life is both awkward and hilarious; an all-too-real depiction of growing up." |
| Undead Teenager takes a great stride beyond the conventional zombie, introducing a dynamic infection that spawns unique, memorable mutations. With each new mutation comes new dangers, strengths and weaknesses that the survivors must figure out how to overcome. Long gone are the days of the overly-recycled zombie. The rippers really keep the threat of the undead vicious and alive, offering a much needed breath of fresh air for the Zombie Genre. |
| "(Undead Teenager) provides a much needed breath of fresh air for the Zombie Genre." The story of the ‘rippers’ are exactly what zombie fans have been looking for to kick the zombie culture to the next stage. Now that first infection has occurred, the image of the zombie has never been fiercer, more frightening, or more exciting. |
| "The memorable characters represent today's youth, struggles, faults, potential and all." Amidst a fast paced story full of harsh twists and turns, readers will inevitably find a good laugh following the all-too-real recklessness, ignorance, and frustrations of Zack Welder. Bold and real, Undead Teenager shares a deep and raw understanding of growing up in a world that demands just too much all at once. Lock the doors and get ready for a wild ride. These are not the same old zombies your parents grew up with. |
| Zack Welder is a seventeen-year-old with serious anger management issues. After his parents kick him out of the house, sending him to the mountains, the last thing he expects to do is fight for his life as a bizarre viral outbreak rips across Riverton, a small mountain community which seems to be hiding a few dark secrets. When Zack realizes he has become infected and will soon join the ranks of the undead, he is faced with having to ‘grow up’ and develop some real social skills before Riverton’s survivors discover his secret and turn on him. As strange mutations occur, it is up to Zack and the other survivors to discover a way to eliminate the monsters and stop the nightmare from spreading before it is too late. “Zombies, teen angst, modern humor, and brilliantly developed characters; Undead Teenager has it all!” |
