Galley Review: Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry

In zombie-invested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn 15 or have their rations cut in half. Benny doesn't want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job, but what he gets is a job that will teach him what it means to be human.
