Fried Green Zombies (Zombie Audio Drama)

Fried Green Zombies is a rollicking fun zombie tale written by John A. Allen.

When I saw the title I had little hope for this story. But, since it was a complete, free, online zombie audio book, I took a listen. I enjoyed it greatly. The story has a good plot. It is dramatic, yet humorous in the vein of Simon & Simon or Bad Boys (Will Smith & Martin Lawrence.) It reminds me a lot of Men In Black (Also starring Will Smith.) It is read by the author, who does a good job handling the voices. It is very close to an audio drama.


Visit John Allen's web site for a short description:

We're Alive! A Story of Survival (Zombie Audio Drama)

We're Alive! is a free zombie audio drama that will last for 48 episodes of 1 hour each, divided into 20 minute podcasts.


The story follows 3 National Guardsmen as they survive the zombie apocalypse. The story has great character development, both good guys and bad guys. It can drag a little at times. But, overall, it is very good. I do have to admit that Datu gets on my nerves once in a while. He tends to whine a lot. However, he is their chief mechanical-type of guy, so I guess we can't shoot him.

Since it is slated to go 48 episodes, it should wrap up nicely.

Huge amounts of information is available on their web site:

The story takes place in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Map:

I enjoyed that part because I lived in Westminster for a couple of years (The Colony). It was interesting hearing them mention various streets and locations.

You can't beat the quality and price of this zombie audio drama.
