The first novel from legendary director George A Romero - out this July!

I wanted to flag up a July book for all you zombie fans – legendary director George A Romero’s first novel, The Living Dead!

We have signed a two-book deal with George, and his first novel is published on 8th July. I’ve read the first couple of chapters and it is spectacular, just what you would expect from the godfather of the zombie genre!

Set in San Diego, an autopsy seems routine until the corpse sits up and begins to walk - after all his organs have been removed. Suddenly the rules of the world have been rewritten and the dead now walk the earth. In Atlanta, a reporter covers the epidemic, showing viewers glimpses of increasing chaos from around the globe. Nowhere, it seems, is safe. The Living Dead follows different groups of people as they react to the crisis, working together and, for some, using their limited knowledge of zombies to try to survive. The only question is whether survival is possible, and more importantly, desirable.

We have started a blog to share our enthusiasm for all things zombie and to post exclusive news about the book which you can find here http://thelivingdeadbook.blogspot.com/
