The Zombie Apocalypse series is Max Brallier’s foray into adult horror-comedy. Starting with Can You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse? in 2011, the books use a choose-your-own-adventure format that puts readers in the middle of a zombie outbreak in New York City. The choices range from practical survival decisions to absurd ones, and most paths lead to creative deaths.
The series is aimed at an older audience than Brallier’s children’s books, with more graphic content and dark humor. It represents his early career work before he shifted focus to middle grade fiction with series like Eerie Elementary and The Last Kids on Earth.
