A work of horror genius from the Godfather of zombie film-making, George A. Romero, and celebrated writer Daniel Kraus . . .

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.
'A horror landmark, a work of gory genius.' JOE HILL, author of NOS4A2
'A monumental achievement.' ADAM NEVILL, author of The Ritual
'Like a lost Romero classic.' CLIVE BARKER, author of Hellraiser
'A sprawling, timely, scary epic.' PAUL TREMBLAY, author of The Cabin at the End of the World
