Blood of the Zombies

Blood of the Zombies

Fighting Fantasy co-creator Ian Livingstone OBE brings the world’s original gamebook series – 30 years old in August – to the world of the zombie…

Terrible things are happening in Goraya castle. Insane megalomaniac Gingrich Yurr is preparing to unleash an army of monstrous zombies upon the world. He must be stopped and his undead horde defeated. In this life-or-death adventure the decisions YOU make will decide the fate of the world. Can YOU survive or will YOU become a zombie too?

Narrative-driven, and with simplified combat and gameplay, this is a Fighting Fantasy gamebook for the 21st century.
