Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This Plague of Days is a labor of...well...mostly love. Spite. It was also good for spite.As an underemployed freelancer, I hung out at a coffee shop and wrote the first draft over 10 months. It was based on my home city then, not Kansas City, Missouri. It also didn't have enough action to balance out the contemplative elements I liked. Seeing the end of the world through the eyes of an autistic boy obsessed with Latin proverbs is fascinating, but it was too different from what most readers expect. So...

I destroyed Europe. I confess.And sorry about that. Also, in Season 3, I wasn't nice to Wilmington, Vermont. Less sorry.

The rewrite took many more months and the project has really evolved as Jaimie's character has grown. My aim was always, is always, to write something entertaining but different. There's a bit of gore, a bit of the supernatural and some speculation about the meaning of our world now that it's on the way out. When you get to the end, you'll be surprised to find the answers aren't in gunfire. I hope you'll enjoy This Plague of Days, either way.

Amazingly Prescient for Pandemic Reading

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this book 5 years ago and just now got around to reading it. I'm in the second week of "shelter in place" in San Francisco, California, during the CoVid 19 pandemic. I've only read a handful of chapters so far and I'm stunned with how the author captured the slow boil panic that happens in the community during a pandemic.

He was particularly prescient when writing that the books virus came from wet markets in China and manifest itself with flu-like symptoms that were particularly deadly. When he mentioned "social distance" it was like a slap in the face.

Yesterday, the line going into the local Trader Joe's went around the block because people had to queue up, using social distance, and were only allowed in a few people at a time only after a few people left. Store employees wearing disposable gloves were spraying everyone's hands with hand sanitizer before letting them in the store.

I know I'm going to be reading this book, and the series, as a peek into the possible future. It feels very real to me at this time. I know it has zombies in it somewhere, I haven't found the zombies yet, but I'm prepared… For the zombies in the book anyway.

One might ask why am I reading this book at this time. It's like when I watched the "Exorcist" before going in for a job interview. My reality might have been scary had I not been prepared by scaring myself worse than a job interview. The series I know will be scarier than what I'm prepared to live through, should I survive this pandemic. Stay safe everyone.

Think Stephen King

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021

I have been a horror fan for more decades than I care to say. Stephen King is my hands-down favorite author. Why? Because the man isn't just a storyteller, he's a wordsmith.

So believe me when I tell you that Robert Chazz Chute is a writing force to be reckoned with. I'm halfway through This Plague of Days Season One and I couldn't wait to write a review to get other readers on board.

Many horror writers depend solely on action to drive their stories. Chute's characters drive the action. Rarely have I seen an author craft characters so well...in any genre.

Then there's Chute's prose. It is insightful, powerful, and gorgeous without being poetic or flowery. Many quotes could easily stand alone to comment on the human condition.

I am so delighted to have discovered Chute and can't wait to read everything that he's written.

Still seeing people in COLORS (Auras)

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2021

My first read from this author. I found the writing easy to read, and believable characters. Many of the "Amazon" reads seem to have authors that do not have editors. THIS one does. The correct words, and tense of written page are exceptional! I find survival tactics that are top of the line, and some I hadn't thought about. Good story, good plot, great characters and it's the end of the world as we know it! (Thanks R.E.M.)! I ordered Season 2 & 3 today!

The Humanity of Zombies

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the best zombie book I have read since World War Z. Unlike WWZ, written as a post-apocalyptic oral history from a worldwide perspective, this book is an excellently crafted third person immersion into the nuanced life of a single American family. The writing is crisp and has an excellent rhythm. I really appreciated seeing how the Spencer family, a "typical" suburban household consisting of mother, father and two teenage kids, each process the psychological realities of the "flu" pandemic that is slowly, piece by piece, taking away the fragments of civilization we all take for granted; grocery stores, the internet, cell service, radio, media, utilities. Fires begin to burn on the horizon. The system of telling the story through character perspective works wonderfully here. The book is scary, suspenseful and painfully realistic. But there are few zombies, this being the opening of the series, and that is what makes it stand out from the other zombie novels I have read. Don't worry, action fans, there is still plenty. And there is also a touch of the supernatural, courtesy of the Spencer's teenage son, Jaimie, who for lack of a better descriptive, possesses the power to see auras, a sort of precognition that proves pivotal to the story. Jaimie is also a selective mute, whose most regular companion is a dictionary, adding another layer of intrigue of an already fabulous character. Excellent read!

One of the Best Apocolyptic Books I've Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

If you enjoyed King's "The Stand", you'll love this book. Expertly written, thought provoking, and creepy. IMO, the writing is similar to old fashioned Stephen King. Well worded, double meanings, scary as hell, and rich characters. I'm not easy to scare, and this book scared me a lot because it could almost come true. Not the zombie thing, but the collapse of society as we know it.

Do yourself a favor and buy the trilogy right off the bat and save a few bucks. I got hooked on book one, read book two in a few days, and was excited to get book 3. And it does not disappoint.

Gotta run, need to look into buying some survival gear and dried food.

MUST READ!!!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2021

Wonderful!! Fantastic!! Amazing!! Did I mention that it was ok too. LOL. Read the entire book in 1 day. Could not put it down. It read like a history of what is going on right now with a little Stephen King thrown in. This has been by far the best book that I have read in several years. My wish.....to have an autographed hardcover copy for my personal collection and library. This story should be made into a movie.

Wow! What a page Turner!

As an avid apocalypse lover, I was surprised and mesmerized with the way this story was developing. Jamie is a fascinating character and obviously will be the kingpin of how the story develops. The use of Latin plus translation is unique and I fervently hope Jamie never loses his dictionary! Cannot wait to read more. Thank you for keeping me awake at night - I suffer from a cruel pain racking disease and reading is my only escape.

Now this is a good book that's worth picking up and reading.
Relatively fast paced action that will leave you wanting more and luckily, there's 2 more to follow.

I loved how this book took the plague and looked through the eyes of a child who can't speak. It's a brilliant and different way on a zombie book bringing you to the point where you feel part of the family trying to survive. Wonderfully written can't wait for the next one

Apocalyptic story, again with a different take. The writing is exceptionally good and the times when we peer into Jamie’s head add another layer to what could have been just another apocalypse story. Off to get the next one now....
