Need a zombie fix? Our sister paper, the Delta Optimist, can help you satisfy that with a unique new online illustrated novel – Maple Leaf Zombies!
The title pretty well explains what this free weekly series is about as it delves into terrifying zombie tales from Canada. The story follows the adventures of Leo McGregor, a lazy dude from Ladner who’s dedication to taking it easy leaves him ill-prepared for the horrors that await after he returns from a sabbatical in Point Roberts.
What looked like just another nasty flu bug making the rounds when our laid back anti-hero left our humdrum 9-to-5 world turned out to be something beyond belief. When Leo comes back to the Lower Mainland, he walks into devastation. You guessed it, millions have died and somehow have been re-animated to become flesh-eating ghouls.
They’re not the only threat our righteous dude will encounter as he hooks up with new friends and allies, only to face a series of surprising challenges. Will our dude have what it takes to adapt and survive? Will he swing too far?
The series also follows other characters in several action-packed parallel story lines.
