The past is written by the living; the future, by the dead. 
From his humble beginnings rising as a discarded corpse in the metropolis dump (London) in the early days of the plague, Nigel recounts his journey of self-discovery. Initially bewildered and disorientated, Nigel hides in an abandoned building as the world continues around him blissfully unaware of his rising and the threat that he poses to their way of life. Before long he is drawn to the scent of the living (the ‘Beans’) and is surprised with the delight that he takes feasting on Bean flesh. As his mind-fog fades Nigel chooses not to feast on Beans ‘to destruction’ but bite and convert others to become like him.\nThe number of Nigel’s followers grows rapidly and, with the help of his mentoring, they become a force to be reckoned with in the metropolis. In time Nigel’s mission becomes clear: to bring enlightenment to all 'Beankind' (otherwise known as death). The only possible threat to his plan is a Bean who appears to be tracking him on behalf of the Bean authorities. Believing the Bean (christened 'Call-Me-Josh’) also has a role to play in the coming apocalypse, Nigel decides to let the Call-Me-Josh Bean live. Soon Nigel’s followers reach critical mass in the capital and there is nothing the Beans can do to avoid their destiny. 
The apocalypse from the killer zombie's perspective: Nigel’s memoirs not only chart the route to the apocalypse itself but they also record his reflections on (and pity for) the plight of living – those Beans doomed to live a meaningless existence. His reflections lead to a resolve; he will release the Beans from their torment, he will bless them with death. And so it is that Nigel becomes arguably the foremost philosopher of death, rewriting the books on existentialism, pragmatism and more. Authoritative, moving, inspiring, brutal and terrifying, these memoirs lead the reader through a whole world of hurt, death and illumination. A personal growth memoir not for the faint-hearted.
