Publisher Description
The year is 2011, and what starts as a pervasive and inexplicable illness ends up as a zombie infestation that devastates the world’s population. Taking the form of a biologist’s journal found in the aftermath of the attack, this pulse-pounding, suspenseful tale of zombie apocalypse follows the narrator as he flees from city to countryside and heads north to Canada, where he hopes the undead will be slowed by the colder climate. Encountering scattered humans and scores of the infected along the way, he fills his notebook with descriptions and careful observations of zombie behavior, along with terrifying tales of survival. This frightening contribution to the massively popular zombie resurgence will keep fans on the edge of their seats right up to the very end.

"AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!!! What a great graphic novel by Don Roff. I love the theme of using an "actual running journal with sketches" from a character right in the middle of infection. The illustrations by Chris Lane are the icing on the cake, perfectly depicting the gruesome outbreak."

" Loved it! I think the idea of tainted food makes the most sense with the Zombie Apocalypse. Also loved the little Canada insert "
— Alexis, 1/20/2014 -
" Good story with a lot of the now-standard elements of zombie apocalypse tales. The first-person "diary" narrative is poignant, but what really makes this book stand out is the powerful, grisly, beautifully realized artwork. "
— Gray, 1/12/2014 -
" Interesting journalistic style kept the pages turning. The beautiful illustrations slowed me down enough that I could truly savor and admire this book. It was a great concept that does the genre a true favor. "

" I've never really been one for zombie stories, but A Record of the Year of Infection was well put together; a solid story combined with killer illustrations. Whether or not you're a sci fi/fantasy/horror geek or not, there's a good chance you'll enjoy the ride. "
— Small, 2/18/2013 -
" An interesting story but a very unsatisfying ending. "
— Kim, 2/11/2013 -
" drawings are pretty good with an average story, it's not really a graphic novel though, more of a picture book! "
— Richard, 1/13/2013 -

— Jennifer, 12/25/2012 -
" Eh; this was fine for an impulse buy. "
— Holly, 11/8/2012 -
" This book failed to even make me read past page 10. The story is below average and dull. I gave it 2 stars for the drawings. "
— Valentina, 10/28/2012 -
" meh, interesting idea but really failed to follow through with any kind of meaningful plot. Just a description of the stuff that happened, kind of like an illustrated single chapter of World War Z. "
