Dead Living is available in paperback
I’ve had a few requests for a paperback version of Dead Living, even from readers who have already read it on Kindle. Perhaps zombie book collectors? Anyway, I went ahead and took the plunge, did all the formatting, got a high resolution cover, etc. So, Dead Living is now available in a 6 x 9 paperback.
It does look great. Perhaps I’ll make a separate post detailing all the fun stuff that went into this.
Link to buy it directly from Createspace.
Link to Amazon if you’re more comfortable ordering from them.

I just finished “Dead Living” and had to write to tall everyone how entertaining this book was. The story is interesting, with a twist on the often used zombie formula. The characters are well developed and likeable. “Dead Living” is one of the best zombie books I have read in a very long time. Hopefully, there are plans for a second book involving the same scenes and characters. Thanks for a great read!!

Just started reading Dead Living and have to agree. Really well written and great characters. So far, this is moving toward the top of the Zombie novels I’ve read. Thanks!

Thank you, Terese. 🙂 I’m very glad you enjoyed it.
I was nervous when I first finished Dead Living. I tried a few different things I wasn’t sure zombies fans would like. So I’m very happy to hear people have liked it. 🙂

Hey! What about the second part of her question? Any plans???
Btw, I have to tell you that this was my favorite zombie book ever! And one of my all around favorites, too.
I’ve been a voracious reader (greatly expanded by kindle) for years and was quite impressed by you talent and abilities.
Keep up the awesome work and I’ll be looking for the next Dead Living……

Ok, so I cheated and just copied and pasted my review from Amazon.com – anyhoo, loved the book – gimme more!
I love zombie novels, but so many are crap. Many are pumped out by zombie enthusiasts who unfortunately don’t have the chops to deliver a solid, well-written novel. They mean well, and obviously love the genre, but they need to polish their skills before putting their product out there. Yeah, I know – a couple bucks won’t break the bank, but I hate feeling cheated when I realize the story I’m reading is amatuerish and not well thought out, especially when for the same price there ARE genuine nuggets of pure reading gold in them thar hills.
“Dead Living” is not one of those steaming, throbbing, quivering lumps of disappointment I’ve been subjected to lately.
This one is one of the best stories I’ve read in a very long time. I especially like Aaron’s personality, which is skewed enough to be on the surface a little creepy, but understandable once you think about what he’s been through, and what his vulnerabilities are and aren’t. Kudos to Glenn Bullion for giving us a different kind of protagonist. I also liked Sam’s evolution, which was very plausable and helped root the story in realism. It didn’t have to be zombies that caused her to be cold and self-centered – she could’ve been traumatized by a terrorist attack, or some other real life-changer. The way she started the story, her slow emotional growth, her confusion over the feelings she had but tried to suppress – all that felt genuine.
All in all the only bad thing I can say about the novel is that I have to wait for a sequel, if there IS a sequel being planned (please?).
Excellent job Mr. Bullion, and thank you for a damned good read.

“Dead Living” is the most original zombie book I have ever read, and without a doubt the best. The book was better than just good, it was EXCELLENT! The depths of the characters were engaging and became endearing through each flip of a page.
The plot, twists, and turns in the book would not allow me to put the book down until I finished it. It was easy to root for the good guys and to want a nasty ending for the bad guys. The characters were easy to follow. I did not get lost or forget who the characters were, because each had an engaging, unique personality that made lasting impressions.
The character “Aaron” made the book the most unique zombie book to date, ever. I never saw it coming that he would be immune to zombie attacks.
I have loved zombie and horror books, as well as movies, since childhood. I am 49 years old, so I’ve read and watched quite alot. However, the character “Aaron” made your story shine with a vitality making your book into much more than just a zombie tale. “Aaron” became the shining force and grace, that gave hope to a world consumed with death, despair, and pain.
Without a doubt “Dead Living” could become a sequel or a stand alone novel just as it is written. You have great talent as a writer and I look forward to reading more books that you pen from your imagination. Reading your book reminded me of Steven King and Dean Koontz. Especially, Dean Koontz because “Aaron” was a loveable, engaging, and unique character similar to Dean Koontz’s “Odd Thomas” character.
Sincerely,
Anita McCurry

I really enjoyed the idea that not only was Aaron immune to the virus, but the dead kind of became his new family/community. If Aaron had used his abilities to launch an all out assault on the dead I would have lost faith in this book.
I also felt that the character’s in this story were very real and extremely well developed.
I can’t wait for the next edition!

Thank you 🙂 The idea of Aaron becoming close with the undead was definitely a theme I was shooting for. He knows them better than people, and they offer a sort-of protection for him.
