Billy must decide what sort of life he wants to forge. Has he been following blindly and gone down the wrong path? And has Dr. Zahn finally discovered the mystery of the zombie children? DEAD: Darkness Before Dawn

THE DEAD WALK We've read the headline a thousand times. An apocalypse in full swing greets us and we witness the fall of society, the end of life as we know it. Yet, so often, the questions remains unanswered: Where did it all begin? How did it start? Who was the first person infected? ZERO is a septuplet of tales that does not drop you into the middle of the outbreak. This opens the door to the first case of infection and allows a glimpse at how humanity will fall victim to the unstoppable wave of horror that is The Walking Dead.

Zombie. Vampire. Lovers of the undead, gather round for a quirky quartet of tales sure to scratch your necrotic itch. Here be vampires...and here be zombies. Why should you be forced to choose? It really is okay to love them both. Enter THE DEADLANDS where one young man finds himself in the epicenter of humanity's downfall... Visit STAGNANT WATERS, the mosquitoes are only part of the bloodsucking problem... Be a witness to THE NIGHT WE DIDN'T GO HOME, and just hope a group of costumed children aren't waiting outside your door... And don't forget your ROAD KILL COUNTING BOOK where possums might be worth ten points, but a zombie can change the game... FOUR IN THE HOLE awaits.
