About This Book
The rules have changed — survival isn't just about staying alive, it's about outlasting the people standing right next to you. When a zombie outbreak tears through everything familiar, a group of friends discovers that the real threat isn't always shambling toward them with dead eyes. RC Robbin drops readers into a world where loyalty fractures fast and every decision carries weight, building tension that doesn't let up even in its quieter moments.
What makes Only Survivor genuinely interesting is its origins: the story grows directly out of an actual pen-and-paper tabletop RPG campaign, and Robbin has translated that source material into tight, propulsive fiction without losing the unpredictability that makes real gameplay electric. At 49 pages, it wastes nothing — no filler, no fat. The elimination structure gives the narrative a relentless forward pull, and the short-story format keeps the horror immediate and concentrated. Readers who prefer their scares compact and their stakes brutally clear will find this delivers exactly what it promises.
