"Zombie Madness" by Richard Sexsmith

Hello Zombie Fans!

Every Saturday in November you can get yourself a free ebook of Richard Sexsmith's satirical comedy "Zombie Madness", featuring villainaire Egon Müller. Regularly priced at 99 cents.

Immortality was supposed to save humanity—until it started eating it.

When the world’s first trillionaire promises humanity eternal life, the press calls it “the cure for death.” But when Egon Müller’s miracle vaccine turns test subjects into violent, mindless killers, the cover-up begins. Dubbed Zombie Madness by terrified scientists, the mutation spreads beyond containment—threatening to transform immortality into mankind’s final plague.

Blending corporate satire with apocalyptic horror, Richard Sexsmith's "Zombie Madness" is a razor-sharp tale of greed, denial, and the price of playing God.

"If zombie satire is your thing, you need to read this story."

Note:

I sure hope Elon Musk doesn't sue Richard Sexsmith for giving his villainaire such a similar name. “Egon Müller” and “Elon Musk” do sound similar after all. The “E–M” initials, the two-syllable first name, and the Germanic surname could subconsciously remind readers of Elon Musk, even if that wasn’t intentional.

Although, if it was intentional, Zombie Madness is a satire, and satires are generally exempt from lawsuits because satires get special legal protections in countries like the USA where satires are protected as free speech and opinion pieces under the First Amendment.

Also... If you read the ebook it is pretty clear that Egon Müller legally changed his name to Egon because of his fondness for the Egon character from Ghostbusters. So the name similarity might be accidental.

But the villain's name isn't the only similarity.

• Müller is a tech trillionaire due to making robots and AI.
• Musk is a tech billionaire due to his electric cars.
• Müller is implied to basically own the US president.
• Musk wishes that he could own the US president. 
• Müller has a bunker on a private island.
• Musk has a bunker on a private island.
• Müller is German-American.
• Musk is South African-Canadian.

There are no doubt other similarities and differences.

Since the ebook is free every Saturday in November I recommend just reading it and drawing your own conclusions.
