Told through intersecting perspectives, this chilling supernatural thriller explores the brutality of evil, the fragility of human survival, and the terrifying onset of a zombie apocalypse. Combining relentless suspense with visceral horror, the novel delivers a dark, fast-paced vision of the dead returning to claim the living.
