Year of the Zombie #7
Ride the Serpentine
A Serpentine Films Production in Association with the Martin Stone Show…
In the 80s, nobody was bigger than Serpentine. They filled stadiums and performed to sell-out crowds. They lived at the top of the charts, winning award after award. But a life of excess soon took its toll and the band called it a day in 1991.
24 years later, the members of Serpentine put old feelings aside and made plans for a comeback. A documentary was scheduled to chronicle the group’s return. New album. World Tour.
But then…
THE DEAD WALK! Chaos in the streets! The breakdown of society!
But even the end of the world can’t stop this band. Cramped together in their fortified tour van, Serpentine travels the backroads of America, documenting their journey on film as a living testament to humanity’s will to survive and the true spirit of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Rock Gods?
A popular eighties rock band is just getting back together when they stumble into the zombie apocalypse.
The trio decides to continue their trip despite the fact that the dead are walking the earth.
They decide to film their experience as they travel around the country.
Although the world has gone to h-e hockey sticks, they keep their sense of humor and even notices a dead groupie has been following them.
In spite of the weirdness of it all, the trio is flattered and begins to look forward to seeing her.
The story is told through the point-of-view of Jules, the drummer, and its very successful.
This has now become my favorite episode of this series. Can’t wait to read the next one.

Ride the Serpentine was unlike anything I’ve read before. It seemed more like a screenplay than a book. It really gave me the same feeling like I got from The Blair Witch Project. Descriptions setting the scene with a couple of the guys talking in the background and then the narrator’s voice-over. Andre Duza created a complete visual to go along with the story. It was creepy and campy and a novel way to approach the story.
Ride the Serpentine follows the lives of Jules Yeager, James “Holly” Hollister and Graeme “Gramps” Gunz, three rock gods from the eighties as they rock the apocalypse. Andre Duza did a marvelous job of introducing us to the characters. The familiarity of the characters - we all had our eighties rock god and these three could be any of them. They rocked hard, burned out, and when the time was right, reunited for one last tour. Insert your favorite band. Serpentine is them, you know them, you love them, they are your new best friends.
Ride the Serpentine was an interesting twist on the zombie apocalypse. It had its fair share of brain spattering gore, but it delved a bit more into what life could be like for the survivors and how all of this death could mess with your mind, and about what keeps you going once the shit hits the fan.
Andre Duza has created a fabulous compliment to the Year of the Zombie with Ride the Serpentine, adding something completely different but with characters that I already know. It was a rockin’ good time!

An interesting addition to publishers Infected Books Year of the Zombie series. This book is set out as a Rockumentary with old rockers Serpentine battle to survive. This narrative style is not for everyone and it took me a while to get into it. This was a bit of an issue as the book only runs for 61 pages. Not a bad read but far from one of my favourites in the series.
