In the sprawling domain of post-apocalyptic fiction, where zombies and contagions often tread familiar ground, Continent of the Dead delivers an electrifying and innovative twist. This webnovel, penned by Pierre Le Boulanger from an original concept by Edmond Tourriol, combines relentless action with psychological tension, all underpinned by a foundation of military strategy and survival horror.
Set within the shared universe of Flibusk’s acclaimed series (Predator’s Symphonyand Zombies vs Zombies), this new installment expands the saga with a bold narrative that plunges readers into a world overrun by the “Enraged.” These terrifying creatures, far more dangerous than the undead of old, challenge humanity’s resilience in ways never seen before. From the calculated maneuvers of Europe’s elite “Liquidators” to the visceral horrors of reclaimed battlefields, the story masterfully balances adrenaline-pumping action with moments of haunting revelation.
With meticulous literary oversight by Angélique Dammekens, Florence Da Silva‘s precise proofreading, and the creative direction of Arnold Petit, Continent of the Dead exemplifies the pinnacle of serialized horror fiction. Every detail, from the military campaigns to the psychological unraveling of its characters, is crafted to immerse readers in an unrelenting tale of survival.
Step into the nightmare. The stakes are higher. The enemies are smarter. And humanity’s hope hangs by a thread.
In a post-apocalyptic future, a mutant virus discovered on a sea of waste transforms the infected into “Enraged”: fast, intelligent and insatiable beings, far more dangerous than classic zombies. Within months, North America is plunged into chaos as the virus spreads from an epicenter on the East Coast.
To counter this threat, Europe sends an elite battalion dubbed the “Liquidators” on a daring mission: to reclaim the infested lands and establish a line of defense all the way to California. But as they travel, each advance reduces their numbers, and enemy forces continue to grow. In the devastated lands, they come up against a mysterious zombie-influencing fanatic, and disturbing revelations about previous failed missions. Between military strategy and the struggle for survival, the Liquidators are the last hope of reconquest in the face of this horror that could soon threaten the entire world.
