Deadbeat by Maxim Volk killed me. Literally, opens with your death, then a naked cult resurrects you with an appetite for human flesh. Queer zombie horror gamebook, multiple branching paths, real splatter, excellent deadpan humour. A debut that earns its confidence.
Deadbeat by Maxim Volk (Slashic Horror Press, 2026) is a queer zombie horror gamebook that’s funny, nasty, and completely impossible to put down.
