What kind of infected are we talking about?

TWD Walkers? And anyone who dies comes back as a zombie?

World War Z running zombies?

Clickers? Like from the last of us?

(Honestly, I’d rather die than face the last two)

See usually I’m talking about TWD zombies bc I just know the most about them and how they work, but I do take some inspo from RR Haywood’s days of the dead series bc that’s cool, and also I am also terrified of the last two

That being said I’m also in my pedro pascal era atm so I’ve been thinking a bit more about clickers but idk if I want to plunge dbf!jake into that kind of torture

Cuốn sách đầu tiên trên thế giới nói không với AI

Theo Einnews, cuốn sách đầu tiên trên thế giới dán tem “No-AI”, xác thực sự sáng tạo của con người, có thể là một hướng đi thay đổi ngành xuất bản toàn cầu. Tác phẩm The Undead của tác giả người Anh RR Haywood đã được xuất bản với một logo nhỏ in dòng chữ “NO-AI”, từ viết tắt của “Naturally Original- Authentically Invented” (tạm dịch Tác phẩm gốc được sáng tạo thực sự). Một công cụ đơn giản…

A Preview from The Worldship Humility, the new R. R. Haywood audio book, as narrated by Colin Morgan!

The news broke this morning that R. R. Haywood's first book in The Code Trilogy, written exclusively for audio, is being released on Audible on 31 January.

Here's a preview of Colin narrating the book!

Narrated by Colin Morgan!

...who is playing a woman named Kristi Carter

...with an American accent

...and she is perky.

I can’t get through this and keep a straight face. The sci fi is actually pretty cool, but I’m too busy cracking up to hear most of it.

[detective-like-i-give-a-damn]

I read Worldship Humility (released on print about a month ago) and it’s very good. Well ok there are a couple like punctuation errors or whatever but they were probably in an enormous rush to turn an audible-only work into an e-book it’s really not distracting. The plot is fantastic. And it’ll be a series so of course it tied up NO loose ends to keep us full of anticipation! That’s cool. Also while you’re waiting check out the author’s time-travel saving-the-world trilogy Extracted.

Idk if you’re into reading about zombies but RR Haywoods undead series on kindle has some really interesting concepts about heard mentality and kind of a hive infection, it’s really cool <3

I’m basically thinking that the zombies in safe zone follow the same kinda logic / rules / whatever you want to call it as the walking dead. Like slow, mumbling, scratches and bites = infected

Thoughts? (Improvements, ideas are all welcome (: but world war z zombies and tlou zombies terrify me so not them 😭)

Transcript of part of Audible interview with author RR Haywood, discussing Colin Morgan’s narration of The Worldship Humility

(The interviewer is Robin Morgan-Bentley, and the author’s first name is Richard. The entire interview is available as a free download here)

Robin: So, last I want to talk about the audio edition. This is available exclusively in audio.

Richard: Yes.

Robin: Do you think that there’s something about it that listening to it that people may not have got if they were reading it?

Richard: Yeah, definitely, yeah. For a start, Colin Morgan’s narrating it!

Robin: Yeah, what a kid, eh?

Richard: Ah, unbelievable! He’s so fantastic! And I wrote the opening...prologue I guess it’s called, with Kristy Carter? So that was one of the last things, that was an addition right at the end. We had the final draft done but, “I’m still not happy with that opening,” you know? So I ended up adding that prologue with Kristy Carter and was like, “Yeah, that’s it. Perfect.” And then hearing Colin Morgan narrate that in the voice of Kristy Carter when you sent the audio file through was, “Wow! Whoa, that’s just so good!”

Robin: Yeah, that was his very first...it was his first audiobook and it’s his first day of recording--

Richard: Really!? Wow.

Robin: Yeah, it was pretty good. Yeah, and he’s such a perfectionist. He actually, on his last day, said, “I want to go back and do the first chapter again--”

Richard: --Really?--

Robin: --”...because I think I can do it even better.”

Richard: Brilliant. That’s something special.

Robin: Yeah.

Richard: I’ve been lucky with narrators. Joe Jameson on the Undead is just fantastic. The poor--there’s so many characters in that series. Carl Prekopp with the Extracted is just brilliant. And now again, I think, with Colin I’ve been exceptionally lucky to get, you know, a really talented narrator that’s just going to add such a level of depth to that story. And I’ll come in as the writer and sort of...in my head I’ve got an idea of the character and how they speak, how they interact, how they’re nuanced. But here, you’ve got a trained actor translate that, how they perceive them, is just brilliant.

Robin: I think what’s great is that I really got the sense of Colin that he really loved the book and he really engaged with the material, and that happens when there’s a real connection which from the narrator with the text that that’s what makes a really special audiobook. So I think you’re going to be loving the finished product when we finally, rapidly, quickly, get it edited and out for everyone to hear.

Richard: I can’t wait!

Lima OH by Paul Haywood Via Flickr: Card posted 1921. Public Square. View seen from the front of the Lima House Hotel looking south west(?). The interurban on the left looks to be heading east towards the station and depot on East Market Street. The number of automobiles hint at the imminent demise of the short-lived interurban heyday. The Ohio Electric RR went bankrupt in 1921 but continued under new ownership for a number of years.
