The Living Dead: A masterpiece of zombie horror

A work of horror genius from the Godfather of zombie film-making, George A. Romero, and 2026 Fiction Pulitzer Prize-winner 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.
