B escaped from the underground complex where the zom heads were kept by the military. Now B finds the world outside to be worse than any twisted imagination could have crafted. London has been devastated by hordes of zombies killing all living beings in the city, including cats and dogs. Buildings have burned down to the ground, cars have been overturned. In the six months B has been locked up, the city has become ruins.

B locates a radio and finally gets news from the outside. All major cities were attacked simultaneously: New York, Tokyo, Moscow. Over four billion people have died in the zombie onslaught. Taking shelter, B returns home, but Mum and Dad are not here. From the clothes left behind, it appears they departed in a hurry. That pleases B. When the radio announces a rescue attempt in the middle of London, B decides to go. Maybe scientists can discover what causes some zombies to revitalize if they study what’s left of B.


The rescue takes place as planned, but as other people start making it on board the military helicopters one of them is shut down by Mr. Dowling the zombie clown, and a horde of mutant zombies attack. There’s nothing freakier than zombie clowns, and B is completely disgusted but unable to flee. Will this be the end of B. Smith? Read on to revel in the master of horror’s newest chapter in the B saga, following Zom-B and Zom-B: Underground.
