Dust and Decay Playlist
Inspired by the novel by Jonathan Maberry
Overview of the Playlist
I've selected songs mostly from the classic rock genre because that would reflect the slowing of progress since the zombie apocalypse in the book.
Song 1: "Back in Black" by AC/DC
At the book's open, Tom Imura and the crew are training in their hometown, safe behind the fences of the Rot and Ruin. However, they know that their destiny lies outside the fences. I imagine this song playing as they re-enter the Rot and Ruin and facing the zombie danger once again.
Song 2: "Enter Sandman" by Metallica

Song 3: "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi
Benny and Nix find themselves in a near-impossible situation at the climax of the book, as they are tossed into the zombie pits. They must fight to survive, depending on their grit and love for each other. In essence, they're "living on a prayer," because they have very little chance of survival. They have to figuratively "take each other's hand" and work together to survive.
Song 4: "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa
