The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the Undead
by Mark Twain
It’s the 1830’s, and life has changed forever. A virus has swept across
the world, and now when you die, you’ll be coming back as one of the
undead - a Zombie – or Zum as people call them. The only way to prevent a
Zum infestation is to remove the head immediately after expiration –
and the sooner the better! Otherwise, they will be clawing their way out
of a coffin or a shallow grave. Huckleberry Finn – Tom Sawyer’s
best friend – is prudent around the dead, but he’s more afraid of his
father, a mean alcoholic who has taken to looting the newly-deceased for
easy drinking money. When Huck meets up with a runaway slave named Jim,
they decide to head out for a Northern free state. All they have to do
is steer clear of the local authorities, outrun Huck’s paw, and avoid
getting torn to pieces by wandering Zum. But the Zum have been
evolving… they’re learning how to speak and how to plan, and what
they’re planning is beyond anyone’s worst nightmares. They’re more
dangerous now than ever. Some criminals are even willing to kill
themselves just to make themselves a more terrible threat. The Undead.
Everywhere, local citizens have armed themselves and are willing to do
whatever it takes to stop this new horror. The old days are gone
forever. Huck has to stay a few steps ahead of anyone and everyone who
means to do him harm. It’s going to be difficult, and perhaps
impossible…but there aren’t any other options.
