The Benny Imura series was created by Jonathan Maberry and follows its teenage protagonist through a zombie-infested post-apocalyptic America. When Benny turns fifteen, he must choose a job to earn his rations. He reluctantly apprentices with his older brother Tom, a zombie hunter who travels into the Rot and Ruin, the vast wilderness beyond the human settlements.
The series includes five main novels (Rot & Ruin through Bits & Pieces), two short stories (Dead & Gone and Tooth & Nail), and a collected volume (Tales of the Rot & Ruin). Maberry uses the zombie setting to explore themes of courage, prejudice, and what it means to be human. The series has been praised for its action sequences, its moral complexity, and Benny’s growth from a reluctant teenager into a capable young man.
