When the Dead Don’t Stay Dead, No One is Safe. In a world forever haunted by a terrifying past, the undead are no longer myths of horror films—they’re a brutal reality. Decades after the first outbreak, scientists and law enforcement still struggle to understand or contain the disease that transforms men into monsters. Among the afflicted is Roger Dowman, a soldier returned from war only to descend into a hellish transformation that turns him into an undead killer with a thirst for human flesh. As his blood-soaked rampage spreads terror through rural Pennsylvania, Detective Andy Brown is drawn into a desperate hunt to stop the murderer who defies death itself. But Dowman’s death only marks the beginning. Rising from his grave, he’s joined by others like him—unleashing a chilling new wave of horror. As survivors race against time to escape the undead, society descends into chaos, and even the sanctuary of family is no longer safe. Will anyone live to see an end to this nightmare, or is humanity itself on the brink of extinction? Dead Lives Matter thrusts readers into a relentless, pulse-pounding battle for survival where the dead are not only a haunting memory but an unstoppable force. Will justice and human resilience prevail, or will the undead claim the last vestiges of hope? Prepare for a tale of unspeakable terror from the master of horror himself, John A. Russo.
