From the brains of a zombie icon

George A. Romero invented the modern zombie with Night 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 filmmaking. To tell the story of the rise of the zombies and the fall of humanity the way it should be told, Romero turned to the written word. Unfortunately, when he died, the story was incomplete.

Enter Daniel Kraus, The New York Times bestselling author of The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch. A lifelong Romero fan, Kraus was honored to be asked by Romero's widow to complete her husband's unfinished novel.

Set in the present day, The Living Dead is an entirely new tale, the story of a zombie plague as George A. Romero wanted to tell it.
