​"Eww-eww-eww-eeewww! The apocalypse is a real mess, know what I mean?"​Vernon P. Cruddle is back, and he's finding out that surviving the initial zombie outbreak was just the warm-up. Now comes the real challenge: living in a world where the neighbors have lost their minds (literally) and the lawn care has gone completely to seed. It's a mess! A real, Grade-A, triple-decker disaster.​In Dead Serious: Dead Reckoning, the saga continues with more close calls than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Vernon is trying to lead his ragtag group of survivors through the aftermath, but between dodging "biters" and trying to find a decent cup of coffee in a world without baristas, he's got his work cut out for him. He's got the tactical vest (with plenty of pockets for snacks), he's got the grit, and he's got enough unsolicited advice to fill a bunker.​This "zomcom" sequel is packed with rubber-faced heroics, narrow escapes from the undead, and the kind of common-sense survival tips that only Vernon P. Cruddle could dream up. It's a reckoning of epic proportions! We're talking high-stakes, low-supplies, and enough heart to keep the motor running.​If you like your post-apocalyptic adventures with a side of "Gee-willikers" and a hero who's doing his level best to stay un-eaten, then grab your gear. It's time for a reckoning.
