Robin’s Review of Deadpulse Series – Crumpet FM

Deadpulse Series – Crumpet FM

Conspiracies, crumpets, carnage and chaos.

It’s a conspiracy theories radio show.

The only thing worse than conspiracy nuts… is finding out one of them was right.

Midnight DJ Talia Knight has built her career mocking the worlds wildest theories on Truth Twisters. But tonight, as London unravels and the dead refuse to stay quiet, the queen of mockery is about to find out what happens when the madness calls back.

As chaos spreads and her broadcast becomes the last voice still on air, she’s forced to ask:

Is this a prank? A cover-up? Or the end of everything, live on Crumpet FM?

Part horror, part satire, and 100% British chaos, Crumpet FM: DeadPulse will make you laugh, scream, and question everything.

What Did I Just Walk Into?

Imagine every late night conspiracy caller you have ever side eyed, trapped in your radio while the world quietly sets itself on fire. That is the vibe here. Talia Knight treats wild theories like content, cranks up the sarcasm, and then the universe politely clears its throat and says, actually, about those zombies.

Crumpet FM reads like a zombie outbreak filtered through British sarcasm, cheap studio coffee, and the frantic realization that you are now the unofficial narrator of the apocalypse. It is equal parts horror, satire, and that uniquely British ability to be deeply unimpressed while everything goes wrong outside the window.

Here’s What Slapped:

The concept is brilliant. A conspiracy radio show that suddenly becomes the most accurate news source in town is pure gold.

Talia’s voice carries the book. Her mix of snark, denial, and reluctant responsibility feels exactly right for someone who makes a living mocking callers at midnight.

The call in structure lets the horror build in layers, from weird reports to full on nightmare fuel, and you feel the tension climb with every new voice on the line.

The humor lands without undercutting the stakes. You laugh, then immediately regret laughing because something wet just hit the studio window.

Multiple ending feel options give readers that choose your trauma flavor energy, and it fits the meta, media aware tone perfectly.

What Could’ve Been Better:

The opening can feel a bit like settling in for a real radio show, callers and banter and build up, so readers who want instant carnage may need a little patience. It pays off once the switch flips.

There is a lot going on in terms of tone and genre. If you want your zombie fiction grim and joyless, this much personality might feel like too many toppings on the pizza.

Perfect for Readers Who Love:

Shaun of the Dead style humor with extra teeth

Black Mirror energy, but stickier

Zombie stories that play with media, rumor, and who gets to tell the story

British chaos, locked in a studio, broadcasting while the world unravels
