The Book of Riley is one of Mark Tufo’s more unusual projects: a zombie apocalypse story told from the perspective of a bulldog. Riley doesn’t understand why the world has gone wrong, but she knows she needs to protect her family, and that simple premise drives a surprisingly emotional story.

The three-book series offers a different angle on Tufo’s apocalyptic universe and has become a fan favorite for its blend of horror, humor, and the loyalty of a very good dog.
