    About this series

    Return to the zombie apocalypse wasteland that is the Rot Ruin in this short story collection from Jonathan Maberry. Benny Imura's zombie-infested adventures are well-chronicled in the gripping novels Rot Ruin, Dust Decay, Flesh Bone, and Fire Ash. But what else was happening while he was on his quest? Who were the others navigating the ravaged landscape full of zombies? Bits Pieces fills in the gaps about what we know about First Night, surviving the plague, and traveling the land of Rot Ruin. Eleven all-new short stories from Nix's journal and eleven previously published stories, including "Dead Gone" and "Tooth Nail," are now together and in print for the first time, along with the first-ever script for the Rot Ruin comic books.

      A New York Times best-selling author and multiple Bram Stoker Award winner, Marvel Comics writer Jonathan Maberry continues the story he began in Rot Ruin. Six months have passed since Benny Imura and Nix Riley learned that flesh-eating zombies aren't the scariest or most dangerous monsters around. Now, Benny's brother Tom is training them in the art of zombie whacking. But as they plan to leave and find a better future, a zombie attack puts a crimp in their plans. And soon, they discover an old enemy they believed was long-gone may actually still be alive.

      Reeling from the devastation of Dust Decay, Benny Imura and his friends plunge deep into the zombie-infested wastelands of the great Rot Ruin. Benny, Nix, Lilah, and Chong journey through a fierce wilderness that was once America, searching for the jet they saw in the skies months ago. If that jet exists then humanity itself must have survivedsomewhere. Finding it is their best hope for having a future and a life worth living. But the Ruin is far more dangerous than any of them can imagine. Fierce animals hunt them. They come face to face with a death cult. And then there' s the zombies-- swarms of them coming from the east, devouring everything in their paths. And these zoms are different. Faster, smarter, and infinitely more dangerous. Has the zombie plague mutated, or is there something far more sinister behind this new invasion of the living dead? One thing Benny and his companions can' t afford to forget: In the great Rot Ruin, everything wants to kill you.

      In the gripping conclusion to the action-packed " standard bearer" ( Booklist ) of zombie series, the threat of death is given new life. Benny Imura and his friends have found the jet and Sanctuary-- but neither is what they expected. Instead of a refuge, Sanctuary is a hospice, and the soldiers who flew the plane seem to be little more than bureaucrats who have given up hope for humanity' s future. With Chong hovering between life and death, clinging to his humanity by a thread, Benny makes a startling discovery: A scientist may have discovered a cure for the zombie plague. Desperate to save Chong, Benny and his friends mount a search and rescue mission. But they' re not the only ones on the hunt. The reapers are after the cure too, and they want to use it turn all the zombies into superfast shock troops-- and wipe humanity off the face of the earth. In this riveting conclusion to the Rot Ruin series, the battle to end all battles is just beginning.
