The Living Dead

Brought to you by Penguin.

It begins with one body.

A pair of medical examiners find themselves facing a dead man who won’t stay dead. 

It spreads quickly. 

In a Midwestern trailer park, an African American 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 preaches the gospel of a new religion of death. 

At a cable news station, a surviving anchor keeps broadcasting, not knowing if anyone is watching, 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.
