Bobby Adair started writing zombie fiction in 2013 when he self-published Zero Day, the first book in what would become the Slow Burn series. The series took off quickly among readers hungry for gritty, character-driven survival horror, and Adair spent the following years expanding it across ten books. He has since built one of the more varied catalogs in indie post-apocalyptic fiction, moving between straightforward survival horror, military sci-fi, and comedic apocalypse stories depending on the project.

His range is notable for an author so closely associated with a single genre. The Ebola K Trilogy trades zombies for a realistic pandemic thriller, the Freedom’s Fire series puts humans in a galactic war scenario, and Dusty’s Diary plays the end of the world largely for laughs. That willingness to shift tone and setting without abandoning the core themes of survival and human resilience has kept his readership engaged across many years and many books.
