Choose Your Doom: Zombie Apocalypse - CYOA for Grown Ups

Came across this in the PostApocalyptic.info feed today - Choose Your Doom: Zombie Apocalypse, a Choose Your Own Adventure-type book set to release in late November.
The publisher's site says: "You control the fate of Tobe, a teen-aged slacker living in the shadow of the Cheyenne Mountain military complex. When a secret experiment goes awry, the citizens of Colorado Springs are exposed to an alien mold that turns those infected into zombies. With your help, Tobe must battle the newly undead, wild animals and the most dangerous creature of all: Man. Will your decisions help him save the city, or lead him to certain doom?
Choose Your Doom: Zombie Apocalypse is guaranteed to have absolutely no happy endings, but it does present several funny, gruesome means of meeting your maker and just maybe...saving the world."
That sounds like it's right up my alley. I was a big fan of CYOA books when I was a kid, and have always been on the lookout for post-apocalyptic CYOA stories, so this one has really piqued my interest. Apparently it's much darker in tone than the CYOA books we grew up with, so is meant for young adult to adult audiences.
I'm trying to see if the publisher would be kind enough to send me an advanced review copy, but even if they don't I think I'll be picking this one up shortly after it's released.
