BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Once on the fringes of horror, the “zombie apocalypse,” has become one of the
most buzzworthy genres in popular culture. Now, in Day by Day Armageddon, J.L.
Bourne delivers an intelligent, gripping thriller that will leave both new and
die-hard zombie fans breathless.
Sporadic news reports indicate chaos and violence spreading through U.S. cities.
An unknown evil is sweeping the planet. The dead are rising to claim the Earth
as the new dominant species in the food chain.This is the handwritten journal
depicting one man’s struggle for survival. Trapped in the midst of global
disaster, he must make decisions; choices that ultimately mean life, or the
eternal curse to walk as one of them. Enter if you will into his world. The
world of the undead.
FROM THE AUTHOR:
The Day by Day Armageddon project started on a simple pad of paper and from
there propagated the universe of worldwide undead devastation. J.L. Bourne
intended the original work to appear as if it were hand written--very raw and
realistic. He began uploading his work piece by piece to the Internet as a
serial depicted as a simple serial of journal entries.
The online journal was intended to immerse the reader into the world that was
Day by Day Armageddon--J.L. Bourne's vision of one man, on the run from billions
of undead, surviving against all odds.
After months of posting regular serial updates, Bourne began the laborious task
of writing the novel version of the underground online cult phenomenon.
Suspecting that a traditional publisher might alter his work and take away the
raw feel of the journal outlining the fall of humanity, Bourne originally
published his work non-traditionally and unconventionally. He wanted the story
out there for everyone to enjoy. He wanted it untouched, as a real
post-apocalyptic journal might be. He was quoted as saying, "there are no
publishers or editors in the apocalypse."
Several publishers contacted Bourne before he was approached by Permuted Press.
The two quickly came to an agreement and went to work. The first edition was
re-mastered to the underground cult classic it is today.
Handwritten notes, underlines, scribbles, random thoughts and other unique
markings gave the journal a chillingly realistic (or was it surrealistic?) feel.
Day by Day Armageddon has since propagated massive interest among fans of
post-apocalyptic and zombie fiction.
As a result if his cult success, J.L. Bourne was approached by Simon & Schuster
on the prospect of joining up with their Pocket/Gallery Books divisions to
release Day by Day Armageddon to the mainstream. It was not long until Day by
Day Armageddon was headed to the printing press on a 50,000 copy first print
run.
Since that time it has seen many, many printings.
