The tale was action-packed, at times hilarious and I found myself completely spellbound. After attempting a series of jobs he finds himself as an apprentice to his brother! The tale that unfolds takes Benny on a journey of self-discovery. His brother has offered to take him into the family business, but Benny has some unresolved issues regarding his brother. Benny is about to turn fifteen and must find a job or his rations will be cut in half. We meet Benny Imura who lost both of his parents that night and lives with his brother Tom, a zombie hunter. The tale takes place about fifteen years after “First Night” (the night most of the world turned into zombies). It left me anxious to read the next book in this series. In his first book Rot & Ruin, Maberry led me on an epic tale in a post-apocalyptic America, filled with zombies and lovable characters. I am pleased to tell you that we are still friends. I grabbed the Tales of Rot & Ruin Collection after reading some awesome reviews from Love of Books and after a little arm twisting from her. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash-but what he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be human Benny doesn’t want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen or get their rations cut in half.
