About this listen

Rotting Earth tells the story of how different nations around the world faced the first day of the zombie apocalypse.

If you loved World War Z, The Last of Us, or 28 Days Later, this is your next zombie story.

The world did not end in a single night. It rotted from within. The infection spread like wildfire, consuming cities, collapsing governments, and bringing entire nations to their knees. The powerful fled. The desperate fought. The doomed prayed. But the undead were relentless, devouring everything in their path.

From the fall of New York City to the last stand in London. From the Pope’s final sermon in the Vatican to billionaires seeking refuge in Switzerland’s most fortified bunkers. This is the story of how civilization crumbled, one country at a time.

A brutal, unflinching account of global collapse, Rotting Earth takes you deep into the chaos, where soldiers fought hopeless battles, world leaders made impossible choices, and ordinary people faced horrors beyond imagination. The dead did not rest. And there was no one left to stop them.

I found it engaging and very gripping. What stood out most was how it portrayed the collapse through multiple perspectives across different countries, creating a truly global sense of doom.

This is excellent. Hearing accounts of the plague from different perspectives all over the world was great. It feels like the start of an epic saga and I'm looking forward to hearing more.

I love when history, ethics, systems are integrated in a bookt: not around one heart, but a whole body politic in freefall. It’s less “here’s one survivor’s pain” and more “here’s how the world fractures when rules die.”
The non-linear structure appeal to me too—it echoes my own vision of nested timelines.

big-picture storytelling and philosophical grit

I usually go for character-driven stuff, but this hit different. It’s like watching a high-stakes documentary as everything falls apart worldwide. No sugarcoating, no cheesy one-liners, just raw, chaotic survival from every corner of the globe. The non-linear format took a second to adjust to, but once I was in, I couldn’t stop.

Not your typical zombie story—this one feels real

I loved this audiobook, the story was extremely gripping and unlike other books I’ve read, the way you jump to different countries puts a new perspective on it!

Loved seeing all different angles!
