    About this ebook

    The dead walk. Now the real battle for Seattle has begun.

    When a gas leak causes the National Guard to forcibly evacuate the neighborhood, Lester isn't going anywhere. The former dope pusher has a new clientele... the kind that require him to deal lead instead of drugs.

    Mike, a newspaper reporter, suspects a conspiracy lies behind the chaos. He’s driven to find the truth, even if it means dragging his beautiful co-worker into danger.

    Kate has a dark secret: she’s a budding young serial killer. As society collapses, her skill in dealing death may be the one thing that can keep her alive.

    These survivors, along with others, are drawn together in their quest to find not only the truth behind the spreading apocalypse, but also to escape the madness they face at every turn.

    “I really loved the entire overall plot, the characterization as a whole, and the gory, action-packed scenes. This is a good, solid zombie book and I highly recommend it.” —Rhiannon Frater, author of FIRST DAYS: AS THE WORLD DIES

    “Mr. Long is defiantly a writer to watch and AMONG THE LIVING is definitely a zombie novel to check out.”—HorrorNews.net

    “The book is excellent ... If you are a fan of zombies or just of apocalyptic fiction in general, this is definitely one to pick up.”—Patrick D’Orazio, author of COMES THE DARK

    Timothy W. Long

    Timothy W. Long has been writing tales and stories since he could hold a crayon and has also read enough books to choke a land fill. He has a fascination with all things zombies, a predilection for hula-girl dolls, and a deep seeded need to jot words on paper and thrust them at people. Tim is the author of the zombie horror novel Among the Living. The zombedy The Zombie Wilson Diaries and the co-author of the bizarro novel The Apocalypse and Satan’s Glory Hole. Tim swears that if he is ever stuck with a zombie, no matter how attractive, he will bash in her brains. Really!

    • 5/5
      Loved it
    • 4/5
      This was my first read of Timothy Long's books and it won't be the last. The book only spans a couple of days, but within that time we get to see how a city could be overrun, and meet the individuals trying to live their lives before and during a city wide crisis which begins as a cordon of a part of the city due to a "gas leak", turning some people violent. We are introduced to several main characters, the two that most resonated with me were Mike and Kate. Mike, a journalist still suffering from the grief of losing his son, then his wife's fall in to alcoholism, who has a deep crush on his co-worker Erin. Kate, a serial killer who leads a double life as a sweet girl next door to her neighbour Bob. How the cordon of Queen Anne, Seattle, the first place to be hit with "deader" attacks effects them is the plot of the book.The events change these characters lives forever, and reveal who they really are. Whether they are good or evil, they all share the common goal to stay among the living.
    • 1/5
      Positives: This novel had an interesting structure similar to World War Z. Each chapter highlighted a different character and kept the narrative moving well.Negatives: Unfortunately, the narrative was awful. Weak, first person narrative. The homophobic references were unnecessary and offensive. “Fuck” does not substitute for quality, meaningful dialogue. The characters are cliché stereotypes. The action is repetitive.Summary: A cheap zombie novel not worth the time.
