YA
Following the zombie apocalypse, fifteen-year-old Benny and his friends (Rot & Ruin) venture forth in hopes of finding a better future. They're unprepared to encounter the Gameland horror-sport in which humans battle zombies as entertainment. The story is full of violent, visceral action; subtext subtly suggests the living may be worse than the undead.
