THE DEAD The dead are getting up. Walking around. Acting . . .strangely. . . .and killing. But sometimes, in this terrifying new world. It's the living you have to worry about. Kim Paffenroth, author of the Dying to Live series and the Bram Stoker Award-winning Gospel of the Living Dead, has collaborated with R.J. and Julia Sevin, editors of Corpse Blossoms, to bring you a harrowing glimpse into a harsh world where the living are little more than ticking time bombs charged with paranoia and hostility, and the dead have begun to stage bizarre endeavors of their own.
