Product Description

Product Description

The few law-abiding citizens left alive, living in Breakspear Gardens, have locked their doors and shut the curtains on this Friday night. They dare not venture out after the sun goes down. The druggies, drunks and feral kids rule the streets in the roughest housing project in northern England. A place where anything can be had at a low price. The Neighborhood you never want to live in.

Tonight, the streets were quiet. Headaches, nausea and sickness are targeting criminals and residents alike. The untainted soon discovered the horror of their plight as their friends, family and neighbors began to die. And, be reborn!

A small group of desperate survivors battle their way through hordes of blood-crazed zombies, trying to reach help just beyond the boundary. Only to find soldiers at every exit, shooting anything that moved.

Can this dwindling group of terrified survivors avoid their recently dead friends, family and neighbours? They need to find another way out and fast, before the authorities’ weapons vaporise the area, transforming Breakspear into Hell on Earth!

WARNING – CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND STRONG LANGUAGE.

Praise for The Unwashed Dead

For me, five stars aren't enough. Why? Because Woodhead's tale makes the kind of social commentary that made Romero king. Highly recommended - Dave Jeffery. Author of Necropolis Rising.

He creates a very subtle aura of dread and menace that explodes across the page when the zombie carnage hits full throttle – Chip Fehd – Buyzombie.com

Tightly written and fast paced, this creepy read is filled with wit, humor and tension – Christopher Beck. Author of Lonesome Night

This is good-value, home-grown zombie fiction - something fans have been screaming out for – Sean T Page. Author of The Official Zombie handbook (UK)

This story is the first book in the Zombie Armageddon series and continues with Walking with Zombies.

19 March 2013.
A new version has been uploaded that included two bonus chapters from the next stories in hte series - Walking with Zombies.

4.0 out of 5 stars great concept 29 Dec 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
ok... lets start with the negatives... YES it has some typos and yes it could possibly have been tweaked a little here and there to make it a tad more polished.... but SERIOUSLY this is a new author... he has great, fresh ideas, brilliant characters that you love to hate (Dennis!! what a fruit/nut case!) and characters that you feel so sorry for, even if they are weird (poor Jacob!) but at least his characters feel real... nobody is perfect and we all have a little edge to us, especially if the zombies start to invade (although I would like to point out I have never buried anyone locally!)
I really enjoy the British element and that snooker cues must be used against zombies instead of just an endless supply of bullets (the world is ended where are they all coming from?)

This book romped, or should that be groaningly shuffled, along with good pace... introducing and rounding out characters....how they are all linked is brilliant!
the infection route is unique and the ending leaves you with lots of why?? which is great as I now get to read some more with the sequel!!

keep up the brilliant story lines.....

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money, however... 11 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
First I'll start by pointing out that £1.51 for 19 very chunky chapters is ridiculously good value for money, and as a budding author myself I don't think it's anywhere near enough for the effort that has clearly gone into writing this book.

Ian Woodhead has a great story-telling mind, coming up with a very fresh spin on a genre that's been done to death (pardon the pun) over the years.

He has put a lot of work into building up the various characters that inhabit the Breakspear estate, even the ones that don't last long!

Coming up with a survivor who not only shows no fear of the Zombie apocalypse, but positively revels in the idea was a particularly nice touch.

I do have to agree with the 1 and 2 star reviews with regards to a proof reading being required though.

Some of the problems are fairly innocuous, the odd grammatical error or the same word repeated too many times in succession, the kinds of things it's easy to miss even with a quick glance through.

However, some of the issues are glaringly obvious and would have taken no more than a few seconds to correct.

The same snippets of text are repeated, there are occasions where the writer has decided to change a few words around and failed to delete the previous ones and rare times when multiple characters are referred to as 'him' or 'her' at the same time, requiring a couple of reads to fathom out just who is doing what.

One word I notice Mr. Woodhead seemed to have a big issue with was 'definitely', appearing as 'defiantly' here and there in the book, a problem I also have and can empathise with.

Had the book been properly proofed and the majority of these mistakes removed, I would have been rating this in the 4 or 5 star region without doubt.

The only other thing that disappointed me slightly was the fact that the book doesn't have a clear cut-off point, instead ending rather abruptly as a lead-in to the follow up.

I presume this was done to draw people into purchasing the second book, but to be honest the story was strong enough to do that anyway and would have hooked me in to buying the sequel even if it had come to a more decisive conclusion.

In summary this book has made me excited to read any and all following offerings from Ian, in fact I'm already 4 chapters into 'Walking with Zombies'!

5.0 out of 5 stars First zombie read- and what a read!! 13 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Well, considering I had joined a forum on FB and was persuaded to give this one a try... I don't regret it in the slightest!
My first zombie novel read and I loved it! I hate the use of swearing in novels when it's not needed- and although there is alot of bad language, it sets the scene of the rough housing estate that the author is portraying and couldn't put the e-book down!! Read it from cover to cover in one sitting, and ordered Zombie Armageddon 2 already :) Thank you Ian x
