Summary
"There is zombie fiction and then there is
crawl-out-of-the-grave-and-drag-you-to-hell zombie
fiction.
Day by Day Armageddon is hands down the best zombie
book I have ever read."
The Day by Day Armageddon project started on a simple pad
of paper and from there propagated the universe of worldwide
undead devastation. J.L. Bourne intended the original
work to appear as if it were hand written--very raw and
realistic. He began uploading his work piece by piece
to the Internet as a serial depicted as a simple serial of
journal entries.
The online journal was intended to immerse the reader into
the world that was Day by Day Armageddon--J.L. Bourne's
vision of one man, on the run from billions of undead,
surviving against all odds.
After months of posting regular serial updates, Bourne
began the laborious task of writing the novel version of the
underground online cult phenomenon. Suspecting that a
traditional publisher might alter his work and take away the
raw feel of the journal outlining the fall of humanity,
Bourne originally published his work non-traditionally and
unconventionally. He wanted the story out there for
everyone to enjoy. He wanted it untouched, as a real
post-apocalyptic journal might be. He was quoted as saying,
"there are no publishers or editors in the apocalypse."
Several publishers contacted Bourne before he was
approached by Permuted Press. The two quickly came to
an agreement and went to work. The first edition was
re-mastered to the underground cult classic it is today.
Handwritten notes, underlines, scribbles, random thoughts
and other unique markings gave the journal a chillingly
realistic (or was it surrealistic?) feel.
Day by Day Armageddon has since propagated massive
interest among fans of post-apocalyptic and zombie fiction.
As a result if his cult success, J.L. Bourne was
approached by Simon & Schuster on the prospect of joining
up with their Pocket/Gallery Books divisions to release Day
by Day Armageddon to the mainstream. It was not long
until Day by Day Armageddon was headed to the printing press
on a 50,000 copy first print run.
Since that time it has seen many, many printings.
The sequel to the original cult classic aptly named, Day
by Day Armageddon: Beyond Exile is the wildly successful
follow-up to Bourne's first novel. Go ahead, click the
