THE UNDEADIVERSE ANTHOLOGY: VOLUME ONE brings together five bestselling stories set in RR Haywood’s groundbreaking Undead wider world.
CORNWALLCallum thought debugging code in an isolated Cornish barn was as bad as life got. Elliott figured waking up before noon was a genuine crisis. Jessica’s mindfulness retreat was supposed to save her sanity. Lisa just wanted a peaceful life. And Tomo? He’d be happier if the tourists stayed off his farm.
But when a strange infection begins to spread across Cornwall, turning everyday people into red-eyed, feral infected, the quiet life becomes a fight for survival. Thrown together by fate, sarcasm, and sheer desperation, this unlikely group must battle wave after wave of infected in a county that suddenly isn’t so sleepy anymore.
When the dead rise in Cornwall, even a peaceful life comes with killer complications.
ESCAPE FROM LONDON
What begins as a routine school trip quickly spirals into madness when the global outbreak erupts on Day One. Trapped in the heart of the city, the students and teachers of Woods College must fight to survive.
Fear. Betrayal. The horrors of the infected. Every step could be their last as London collapses into chaos.
Tears will be shed. Hurleys will be swung with a vengeance. Blood will be spilled.
Can they Escape From London?
NOBILITY
Five days into the outbreak, Francis Lanchcombe, the newly ennobled and thoroughly unprepared 20th Earl of Lanchcombe, finds his crumbling ancestral home surrounded by the infected.
With only two servants left alive and his even less dependable brother Jezza, Francis realises that titles and class won’t win them any favours. So he rebrands himself as ‘Frank,’ adopting what he imagines is a working-class persona, and leads the group into the chaos beyond the estate gates.
What follows is a hilariously short road trip across a not-very-large corner of England — featuring a dog named Mungo, an eccentric cast of survivors, and more mayhem than manners. Nobility skewers the absurdity of class, survival, and British politeness in the face of the undead.
Will ‘Frank’ discover the man he really is, or remain just another useless aristocrat?
TIME TO WAKE UP, MICKEY
Mickey wakes up on Day Two to find the world has collapsed. With a raging hangover, he sets out with his best mate Steve with one mission: find their wives and children.
What follows is a truly working-class romp through the northeast of England with authentic characters, laugh-out-loud humour, and heart in equal measure — all inside The Undead-verse, where the infected are fast, feral, and relentless.
STELLA
Nettlewick. A sleepy village nestled in the southern English countryside. As featured in The Undead 24, when Blowers and Carmen had to deliver fruit. Now we go back — and this time, we’re meeting Stella.
She’s obese. She never speaks. And there is far more to Stella than meets the eye…
Five very different corners of England. One outbreak
