The Hanging Tree: A Zombie Novel (The Zed Files Trilogy) (Volume 1)

It's hard to go it alone. Especially in a world filled with zombies. A recluse even before civilization's collapse, Billy is trekking westward after surviving the impact, the tsunami, and the infection. On his own, fighting to stay ahead of the undead Wave, Billy is forced to hunker down with a group of misfits: two strippers, a lesbian couple, a stoner redneck, a tech geek, an orphaned boy, and a one-eyed man. And Chuck—the guy with the mullet. Billy's scarred past might be the key to their unlikely survival. Or quite possibly the death of them all.
