βA horror landmark and a work of gory genius.ββJoe Hill,New York Timesbestselling author ofThe FiremanNew York Timesbestselling author Daniel Kraus completes George A. Romero's brand-new masterpiece of zombie horror, the massive novel left unfinished at Romero's death!
George A. Romero invented the modern zombie withNight of the Living Dead, creating a monster that has become a key part of pop culture. Romero often felt hemmed in by the constraints of film-making. To tell the story of the rise of the zombies and the fall of humanity the way it should be told, Romero turned to fiction. Unfortunately, when he died, the story was incomplete.
Enter Daniel Kraus, co-author, with Guillermo del Toro, of theNew York TimesbestsellerThe Shape of Water(based on the Academy Award-winning movie) andTrollhunters(which became an Emmy Award-winning series), and author ofThe Death and Life of Zebulon Finch(anEntertainment WeeklyTop 10 Book of the Year). A lifelong Romero fan, Kraus was honored to be asked, by Romero's widow, to completeThe Living Dead.
Set in the present day,The Living Deadis an entirely new tale, the story of the zombie plague as George A. Romero wanted to tell it.
It begins with one body.
A pair of medical examiners find themselves battling a dead man who wonβt stay dead.
It spreads quickly.
In a Midwestern trailer park, a Black teenage girl and a Muslim immigrant battle newly-risen friends and family. On a US aircraft carrier, living sailors hide from dead ones while a fanatic makes a new religion out of death. At a cable news station, a surviving anchor keeps broadcasting while his undead colleagues try to devour him. In DC, an autistic federal employee charts the outbreak, preserving data for a future that may never come.
Everywhere, people are targeted by both the living and the dead.
We think we know how this story ends.
We. Are. Wrong.
