Worth The Wait (Glory & Glorious)

5 out of 5 stars

A monster-mash sequel that’s more than worth the wait.

Returning to the world of Zombie Bigfoot after seven years felt like slipping on a pair of well-worn hiking boots—if those boots were caked in mud, blood, and cryptid mystery. Nick Sullivan brings us right back into the chaos with Zombie Billionaire, and let me just say, it was like no time had passed. The action picks up immediately, but I appreciated the subtle and effective recaps peppered in to jog my memory (though I still might give book one a re-listen just for fun).

What really stood out to me was the balance of multiple points of view. I’d forgotten how well Sullivan juggles them, each one feels like a fully-formed story in its own right, and I found myself just as invested in the Bigfoot troop’s plight as I was in the very-much-undead billionaire’s weirdly fascinating journey. The survivalist show host, the Shoshone tracker, the primatologist, the cryptids… I’d read a spin-off from any of them, honestly.

Yes, it’s gory. Wonderfully so. The horror elements don’t pull punches, but they’re matched with smart pacing, comedic relief, and a genuine heart underneath it all. It’s a rare feat to make a zombie-sasquatch mashup feel this grounded and enjoyable. Also, can more authors please include an afterword like Nick’s? It added so much heart and context, and honestly made me enjoy the book even more.

If you like your audiobooks with horror, cryptids, heart, humor, and a bit of chaos tossed in for good measure, this one’s for you. I’ll be shouting about this to fans of monster mayhem, absurdities but interesting storylines, and even genre-skeptics. Zombie Billionaire proves that sometimes sequels can be everything you hoped for, and then some.

Nick’s narration is no slouch either. Coming from a world of hundreds of audiobooks recorded, Nick voicing a story he wrote just turns it up to 11. Able to perfectly become each character, likely using the voices he thinks of when writing. Delicious (a play on HUNGRY… hey, hey, Bueller?)

Book Description:

Action, adventure, horror, comedy… Zombie Billionaire has it all.

The long-awaited sequel to Zombie Bigfoot is here!

You know those series books that say “This book is a standalone?” This one isn’t. Zombie Billionaire picks up directly from where Zombie Bigfoot left off. If you haven’t listened to “ZBF,” do yourself a favor: get it, listen to it, and come on back. We’ll be right here waiting for you.

Cameron Carson was dead, to begin with…

In the forests of Idaho, a debonaire billionaire finds himself back from the dead… and the transition is far from seamless. Meanwhile, the tattered remnants of a Bigfoot troop try to make their way to safety while a survival show host, a Shoshone tracker, and a brilliant primatologist struggle to protect their Sasquatchian friends. On top of that, they have to track down the mysterious “Stone that Sings” that started this whole mess. But dark forces with less-than-benevolent intentions are gathering… some looking for the meteorite… others searching for the surviving Bigfoots.

And in Lake Payette, by the shores of the resort town of McCall, something ancient has awakened. And it is HUNGRY.
