Samurai Zombie Hunter

By Cristian YoungMiller

The extinction of humanity approaches...

Out of the jungles of South American stumbled an infected priest. 10 years later the zombie infection has seeped out of the shadows and gutters and has spread across the globe. Governments crumble as they decide who should live and who must die.

Out of this pre-apocalyptic world emerges Donavan Leeds, an ordinary man who dreams of becoming a Samurai. Paralyzed by loneliness after he is mysteriously abandoned by everyone he loves, Van wakes one warm night to find a figure holding a sword at the foot of his bed. Obligated by a profound debt, Van hires out his samurai sword and a river of zombie blood follows. To a desperate world, Van becomes a folk hero; to the secretly infected, he is ‘the beginning of a war’.

As humanity’s darkest forces gather on one side and the incurably diseased gather on the other, civilization is on the brink of its bloodiest war. And Van, blinded by love and a secret that could change the course of mankind, must decide who to kill to prevent the zombie apocalypse.

* This new twist on the zombie mythology is rated ‘WTF’ for its strong language, sexual situations and irreverent humor.

Chapter 1

Sex and Zombies

"So I’m walking down West Silverlake Drive because like usual I have to park a fuckin’ mile from my place. I look across to that park on the corner and I see these fuckin’ tweaker kids chasing after this zombie bitch. And you would think the bitch is doing that zombie stroll they do, but she’s bookin’ it. And these kids are like 15 or 16 and you gotta think that they’re meth’d out, so when the zombie bitch gets ahead of ’em, you would think she’s free. But just as the bitch looks like she’s gonna get away, another tweaker pops out of nowhere and she has to change direction.

So I’m watching this shit go down and she starts running next to the street. And I’m 300 feet away so I’m like ‘This shit is real,’ ya know. And just when the guys are about to tackle her, this fuckin’ bitch cuts out into the street and this fuckin’ Ram, fuckin’ Dodge 4x4 truck smacks the hell out of her. And this fuckin’ bitch rolls across the hood of the truck and flies like 200 feet in the air.

And I’m standing there and I’m like ‘What the fuck,’ because this bitch is headed right for me and I don’t know if I should move left or right. But in the end I’m just frozen there and the fuckin’ bitch lands right on top of me and knocks my ass to the ground. And I’m like ‘What the fuck? What the fuck!’

And I’m looking right at her and she has an oozing wound on her forehead. And her face is all sunken in. And she’s all pale with those fuckin’ zombie dark circles under her eyes and she’s drooling. And I’m screaming, ‘Get the fuck off me! Get the fuck off of me!’

And I’m all shaking and squirming because this bitch is right on top of me. I mean her fuckin’ cooch is sitting on my nads, ya know. And I’m like ‘Get the fuck off me.’ And she’s like ‘Ahhh.’ I’m like ‘Ahhh!’ And she’s all squirmin’ and stuff.

But I finally push her off me and I get up to my feet. I look down at her - she looks fine by the way, because you know how these fuckin’ zombies are indestructible, right? - and I get right over her, look down and scream ‘What the fuck, bitch!’ And she looks up at me, smiles, points and says ‘Donavan.’

And I’m like ‘How does this fuckin’ zombie bitch know my name?’ So I scream at her ‘How the fuck you know my name, bitch?’ And she laughs and mumbles out ‘Bar Bar bathroom,’ and then laughs some more.

And just then I look up and this 16 year old tweaked-out mother fucker pulls back this fuckin’ axe and cuts the bitch’s fuckin’ head off. That fuckin’ head rolled like 20 feet. So I ran into the fuckin’ street and got down over the head and yelled again ‘How the fuck do you know my name, bitch?’ But the thing is finally fuckin’ dead and it still has a smile on its fuckin’ face.

So I check myself out for scratches and bite marks and I’m fine. And instead of goin’ home, I now walk my ass back to the fuckin’ car and drive my ass down to Bar Bar because I know this fuckin’ place. This is where me and my two boys used to trail for tail. And when I get there it isn’t fuckin’ open yet because it’s one of these places that don’t even open til, like, nine. But I know the manager so I get in.

I’m like ‘What up,’he’s like ‘What up,’ and tell him about this fuckin’ zombie bitch and he starts to smile. But it’s not one of those ‘ha ha’ smiles. It’s one of those ‘I know something that you fuckin’ don’t’ smiles. And the fucka couldn’t even look me in the eye after that. But he says go ahead and I check out the men’s bathroom. After I couldn’t find anything, I realize that the zombie bitch probably meant the woman’s bathroom.

So I go in and I look in the first stall and on the wall is this fuckin’ picture of me carved in the paint. And this is some fuckin’ Rembrandt shit because this fuckin’ thing looks exactly like me. Like, if I could take this home, I would hang it on my fuckin’ wall because it is like a fuckin’ picture. And underneath this fuckin’ picture are the words ‘For a really bad time in bed call…’ and it’s my fuckin’ phone number. Do you believe that shit?

So I scratch out ‘bad’ and put ‘mind-blowing’ and I leave with this shit stuck in my head. Do you believe that shit? Some bitch put that shit in the bathroom at my spot. But I start thinkin’ about this and the more I think about it, the more this shit is fuckin’ with my head. So I start to doubt myself. Because that is a whole lot of hate that it takes to sit in that fuckin’ stall for hours and carve that fuckin’ picture in paint. That fuck even shaded it in. I’m tellin’ you, fuckin’ Rembrandt!

So if that bitch could have so much hate in her to sit and do that, she must have been seriously pissed off at something that I did. And that’s not hard to believe because I have worked over some bitches in my day. But I started thinkin’, ‘I’m good in bed, right? Yeah I’m good in bed…’

But it plays on your head when you see shit like that. So I asked myself who would know for sure. So that’s why I called you. You had fun when we were doin’ it, right? I mean, it was good right?"

There was a long pause on the other end of the phone. Van raked his fingers through his dark brown wavy hair. His deeply tanned forehead shined with the sweat that formed on it. And his thick masculine chest twitched as the adrenaline coursed through him.

Lucy? Van asked, losing the nerve that the lather from his storytelling had allowed him.

Lucy sat dumbfounded on the other end. Her mouth hung open and her porcelain skin and red hair made her look like a blow up doll.

Lucy? Van asked again, wondering if she was still on the line. He pulled back his cell phone to make sure that the call hadn’t ended. You still there?

Ummm… yeah.

So, ummm, when we were doin’ it, you had a good time, right? Van asked again a little more scared at what the answer might be.

Well, that was back in college. I really don’t remember much from back then.

I thought you said that I was your first? Van asked not believing her answer.

You were.

And you don’t remember your first guy? Come on. We did it for 3 straight years. We were like fuckin’ rabbits.

Oh yeah, Lucy conceded with disappointment over her failed attempt to evade the question.

Well, you had fun, right?

Ummm… fun?

Yeah. Wait, what? Van asked with the sweat once again beading on his caramel colored face.

It was my first time, and I’m sure it was your first time…

It wasn’t my first time, Van interrupted, confused how she could make that mistake.

It wasn’t your first time?

No.

I just… never mind. Look the deal is that it was a long time ago. And my self-esteem is a lot higher than it was back then. And neither of us knew what we were doing, so I’m sure that you learned a lot since then.

Well of course. But I’m sayin’ that it wasn’t bad, right? I mean, you wouldn’t describe all of the times that we did it as bad, right?

No… not all of it. I’m sure that if you gave me some time I could think of some times that --

If I gave you some time? Van repeated with surprise.

What I’m saying is that I’m sure that you’ve gotten better. And I’m sure that you don’t do the barking thing anymore. Hey look, you should call a woman that you have been with more recently than us because Don, before this call we hadn’t spoken in 10 years. In fact, how did you get my number?

Van pulled the phone away from his face. He had a look of genuine surprise because he definitely hadn’t seen this coming. Certainly he had not always engaged in the ancient art of foreplay. But he always considered it something that pussy boys did. And Van was no pussy boy.

And certainly he didn’t always go all night. Not to say that he couldn’t go all night, it was just that when a man operated at 10 pumps per second, he tended not to last very long. But the way Van always looked at it was that if instead of measuring absolute lengths of time, you instead measured pumps per orgasm, he got in more pumps than anyone. Van had once gotten it up to 1000 pumps. When he was done he immediately got up and scrolled through the Guinness World Book of Records online. Unfortunately, at that time pumps per orgasm didn’t exist as a category.

Hanging up the phone, Van next called Hillary. And with the sweat once again glistening on his face he mentioned the true reason for his call. So when we were together, you thought I was good in bed, right?

Hillary was a blasian (black/Asian) woman whom he’d met while working at Kinko’s. It was his first job out of college. Back then Hillary was a little heavier than the fit girl who now spoke to Van from the other end of the phone.

Ok, the first thing that you should know is that my self-esteem is a lot higher than it was back then, Hillary began. So if you really wanna know, I’m gonna to tell you the truth. Do you want me to tell you the truth?

With fear, Van spoke. Maybe you should just stick to generalities.

Ok. So, what was up with the barking?

Hillary’s response was similar to Lucy’s response; which, it turned out, was similar to Vanessa’s response; which was similar to Candy’s response. Fortunately, all of the women had somehow gained a lot more self-esteem than they had while dating Van. It was almost as if being with Van was a reason to improve a woman’s self-image.

Do you know how Cocker spaniels are all over the place? Rose began.

Yeah, why? Van asked.

You know how they can’t focus on anything for too long and they drool all over the place? Rose continued.

Uh huh, Van replied, not liking where Rose was going.

Well I think you should find a woman who really likes Cocker spaniels. Because they would probably be into what you do.

What do you mean by that? Van asked, devastated that even Rose, his china doll, would be so mean.

Well, first of all, Rose began again, you only did it doggy style and you humped me so fast that I thought that you were going for some type of record.

Van couldn’t disagree with that because he had been going for a record. A true athlete never takes a day off.

And then after you raced to the finish line you would stand up on the bed, bark a couple of times so the neighbors could hear, and then yell, ‘I’m the big dog now!’

Yeah, that was my thing, Van said meekly.

But that’s not all. Then you would get out of bed, stand in front of the full-length mirror, grab onto an imaginary waist and simulate whatever you did to me while watching yourself in the mirror. What was up with that?

Van didn’t answer.

And the thing is that you would keep doing it until your ding-dong got so soft that your man juice would fling across the room. I would have to spend the first 10 minutes after you left cleaning up the walls, the carpet… Do you know that Mr. Fluffy Bunny still looks like he has a lazy eye from one of my nights with you?

Was Mr. Fluffy Bunny that pink stuffed rabbit you had? Van asked doing his best to make it sound like she was weird for having a stuffed rabbit at her age.

Yes, Mr. Fluffy Bunny was the stuffed rabbit that my mom gave to me when I was six. You know, the one that she gave me before she died? Rose said, raising her voice a little but still not angrily.

‘Ouch,’ Van thought.

But you know, there is someone out there for everyone, Rose added, trying to focus on the positive as her self-esteem classes had suggested. I think that if you could find a woman that’s really into Cocker spaniels, she might like that whole thing you do.

Van had taken just about as much as he could handle in a day. But there was only one more person on his list entitled ‘Bitchez I’ve Banged’ so he figured he’d push through.

Well, you have some nerve calling me again, Margo said.

That response surprised Van because he didn’t remember their encounter ending badly. Sure he banged her and then never called again, but it was a woman he met at Bar Bar just before last call – their time together was clearly going to be a bang-bang (the first bang was the sound of his balls hitting her clit; the second bang was the sound of the door closing on his way out). Propositions offered at 1:58 am just after the lights at the bar turned on could never be anything more. So yes, Van said that he would call her as he was leaving, but he was also sure that this wasn’t her first rodeo.

What? What did I do to you? What could I have possibly done to you? Van said feeling the lump that developed in his throat whenever he felt like he was going to be humiliated.

What did you do to me? Margo asked, with a shocked irate tone. Well, let’s see. You were the most inconsiderate fuck that I have ever had. First off, there was no foreplay. Second, you didn’t cuddle afterwards. And, oh yeah, you ate my fuckin’ brains!

Van shook his head to reprocess what he had just heard. What did you say? Van asked feeling his day’s humiliations redirecting themselves.

You heard me you fuck wad. You ate my fuckin’ brains, Margo repeated at full volume and clarity.

Don’t you ever fuckin’ say that again. Don’t you ever fuckin’ say that again! Van yelled standing up on his side of the phone.

What, that you ate my fuckin’ brains, you fuckin’ zombie ass piece of shit, Margo said in a cool unintimidated voice.

Van felt his rage surface. And Van knew that after the rage, would come the blind rage. If you say that again, I will come over there and I will fuckin’ tear your head off. You hear me? I will fuckin’ rip your head off and shit in your neck. Is that what you want? I know where you live you psycho bitch.

Van’s anger might have been misdirected, but it was justified. Accusing someone of being a zombie was the biggest insult that anyone could call another person and Margo knew it. But more than that, all throughout Los Angeles - and especially in Silverlake - there were punk-ass vigilantes that prided themselves of ridding the world of zombies. And when any of the vigilantes started hearing rumors that someone was eating brains, they would show up at their house in the middle of the night with an axe or something and end the rumor by relocating the rumored zombie’s head from their body.

Van didn’t disagree with what they were doing. In fact, he liked it. On a day-to-day basis though, as long as zombies didn’t fuck with him, he wouldn’t fuck with them. But like most people, Van thought the world would be better off if there weren’t any zombies in it.

The mindset in Los Angeles was a lot different than it was in the Midwest and the South. For the most part, people in L.A. were still arrested when it wasn’t a clear case of zombie panic. In other words, the zombified victim had to be foaming at the mouth for the cops to simply walk away. In cases where the victim wasn’t showing clear physical signs like the distinct circles under their eyes, the cops would ask a lot of questions. You still had a good chance of being released but you had to have a really good story to support the evidence.

Silverlake, though, was considered the zombie ghetto. So if a person had a real problem with zombies, he simply moved. But even with Silverlake’s zombie status, housing prices were still outrageously expensive. It wasn’t really families with children moving in any more. It was more often zombies and inter-zombie couples. Inter-zombie couples had a very hard time renting and buying homes in communities with a lot of kids. But in Silverlake they were just like everyone else.

On average, there were 10 zombie attacks every day in Silverlake, usually at night. Some occurred after a zombie would get really drunk at a bar and start making out with someone. In that case, flirting often turned into kissing which then could turn into a bathroom stall encounter where the victim learned that they weren’t the one that was going to bite off more than they could chew.

Reviews for Samurai Zombie Hunter

[amanda4242_1 · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Absolutely dreadful. The characters are unlikeable and the plot twists can be seen from space. Also, the shameless plug the author worked in for his sex enhancement website was not appreciated. Received via Member Giveaway.

[kaczencja · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I got the book through the Member Giveaway.The general idea for the book is interesting. The world where zombies live next to 'healthy' people and the need for 'zombie hunters' was, at least for me, innovative. But the idea and the actual execution were here two very different things... Unfortunately, putting lots of 'fucking' into dialogues does not make them sound more natural and the descriptions of emotions sound more artificial than I thought possible. And don't get me started about the characters themselves...

I am not much of a zombie literature fan but Cristian YoungMiller in this book gave me a lot to think about and maybe not turn me into a advocate of zombie literature but into and advocate of SAMURAI ZOMBIE HUNTER. To me the book was a fascinating read and a study of a person's evolution in thoughts and actions.Van is the average American male who considers himself to be quiet the ladies' man and is growing bored with his life. Then a message in a restroom gets him to thinking and to questioning his past conquests. This leads him to feeling inadequate and looking for a way to strike out so that the feeling of inadequacy will disappear. A college friend shows up with the idea to kill zombies who are starting to creep into all aspects of American life. They are infected and it may take a few years for them to turn into the classic zombie figures that we are accustomed to. They appear normal until they need to feed and do so at night. The business that Van's college buddy sets up begins to boom as more and more people want more zombies killed. But as the same time Van, who appears to enjoy the killing, begins to ask questions of himself. It is a story of "Them Against Us" and how hatred and misunderstanding can lead to irrational thoughts and deeds. As the differences between normal people and zombies become politicized the move toward open warfare between the two groups becomes inevitable and Van questions his own role in this process. It is hard to tell in this world who are zombies and who are not. Also there is the possibility that the infection can be controlled and the need for zombies to feed curtailed to the point that they are not dangerous to others in the society.The book is one that is difficult to put down once one starts reading. There are surprises throughout the book. Van eventually realizes that the biggest battle he is fighting is one within himself. It is a glimpse of how we learn to hate a group that we do not understand and what may occur when that hate is allowed to run unchecked simply because of misunderstanding. Hopefully it will be read not for the zombie killing but for the insights it gives into our society and culture. Very good read.

I couldn't put this one down! The main characters are Van and Kofi, who have been friends since college. The story starts out with Van reflecting upon his uninspiring love life, which leaves him feeling pretty lonely and rejected. Kofi unexpectedly visits Van in the middle of the night to get him to help him kill a zombie, since Van's got mad samurai skills. Van agrees, but reluctantly because it's the middle of the night and he pretty much scared the crap out of him by just appearing in his room out of nowhere with his samurai sword. Van hasn't seen his friend Kofi in awhile and could use the company so they go and kill a zombie. Kofi decides to start a business with Van as Samurai Zombie Hunters. They get more and more jobs along the way from random citizens that have problems with their zombie neighbors. We experience some of the different jobs that they go on, which were thrillingly described. In this story, zombies aren't so different from humans in their first few years after turning (besides the brain eating-which they seem to do discreetly), so deep down, after a few jobs, this seems to effect Van. Plus, there's a sort of twist at the end that I loved! This book may not be for everybody as there is some cussing & slightly vulgar sexual references, but if you don't mind it, this book is pretty awesome! I highly recommend it!

[quilted_kat · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Van is unhappy in his job, famously bad in bed, and still hanging out with his college frat buddies. He spends his free time watching samurai movies and practicing sword technique in his underwear. For lack of anything better to do, his friend Kofi convinces him to become partners in a zombie extermination service.The zombies in YoungMiller’s world are not your typical detiorated monsters. They hold jobs, have girlfriends, and are hanging out in your favorite bar just waiting for you to buy them a drink. They seem perfectly normal. Perfectly normal, that is, until the cravings for brains become too strong and they revert to the monster that they have become.Samurai Zombie Hunter is a fun zombie tale. It’s not a deep or intellectually stimulating story, but what should you expect from a title like that? Don’t read zombie books if you are easily offended.

[bryndahlquis · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I was warned that if I couldn't handle foul language and sexual references, I shouldn't read this, but I didn't take that to mean that every other word -- literally -- would be foul. It's not so much that it offends me, it's just...pointless. And boring. And tedious. It's like all the book is is bad words strung together. And when you finally get past the long story told by the foul-mouthed main character, you get to simplistic writing (with much less language) that's equally uninteresting."Van raked his fingers through his dark brown wavy hair. His deeply tanned forehead shined with the sweat that formed on it. And his thick masculine chest twitched as the adrenaline coursed through him."Descriptions like that make me moan and bang my head against the wall.Okay, so maybe this book wasn't written to be a literary masterpiece. That's okay. So I 'flipped' (figuratively speaking. This is an e-book, after all) ahead some to see if it was interesting (I mean, samurai zombie hunters have got to have some redeeming points, right?), but I didn't really find anything. In all honesty, I wasn't looking too closely. I'm not an e-book person, and only started this one because...well, samurai zombie hunters.Unfortunately, it looks like I've yet to find an e-book I'll be able to finish.
