San Bernardino, California. Halloween, 1984.
‘Berdoo’ Betty has a show to put on and a houseful of punks to keep out of trouble. Between hostile skinheads and a venue threatening to cancel, she’s already fighting to keep the night from falling apart. Then a new drug makes its way through the scene, and those who take it start eating people.
When the zombie outbreak turns her show into a bloodbath, Betty and a handful of survivors escape into streets that offer little shelter. Armed strangers are claiming whatever they can take, the infected are multiplying, and the friends who have always depended on her are looking to her for a way out.
Their best chance might be Danny, a former outlaw biker and Vietnam veteran who knows a place where they might be safe. But reaching it means crossing a city coming apart, and trusting that the people waiting there will let them inside. Betty has fought to give her makeshift family somewhere to belong. Now she’ll have to fight to keep them breathing.
An homage to the grimy, chaotic films of Dan O’Bannon and Penelope Spheeris, Punks vs. Zombies is a gritty survival horror novel that unleashes flesh-eating terror on Southern California’s 1980s punk rock scene.
Genre: Horror
