Dusty’s Diary takes the zombie apocalypse and filters it through the voice of a man who is, by his own admission, not particularly equipped for it. Told as journal entries, the series gives Bobby Adair room to play with tone in ways his straight horror fiction does not, and the result is a series that can be genuinely funny even while the world around Dusty falls apart. The format also lets each entry feel immediate and personal, which creates its own kind of dread underneath the comedy.

The series ran to four main volumes, with box sets and extended editions along the way. It has attracted a distinct readership from Adair’s darker work, though fans of both tend to appreciate the range it demonstrates. Start with the first Dusty’s Diary from 2015 for the beginning of Dusty’s particularly unheroic apocalypse story.
