The dark side of humanity is explored in this electrifying science fiction thriller in which an epidemic virus terrorizes the earth. Causing its inhabitants to strike out on murderous rampages, the virus is caught through conversation and, once contracted, leads its host on a strange journey—into another world where the undead roam the streets of the smallest towns and largest cities, hungry for human flesh. Describing in chilling detail what it would be like if thousands suddenly caught such a virus and struck out on a mass, never-ending, cannibalistic spree, this terrifying narrative is perfect for those who are ready to explore their darkest secret imaginings through a sinister and compelling literary work of art. This new edition includes a new afterword on the making of the new motion picture.

And because the virus is situated, quite physically, anterior to the process of comprehension itself.” Grant cannot hide his discomfort and his

Missus returned the following week, but she has never entered, nor has she since been asked to enter, the boy’s room. “Careful out there, your father’s tools are lying all over the place. Take a towel.” Now there’s the hill, that lost wall, and the weasels are wiping their gums against it. At a

The episodes subside under the soothing hands and calm whispers of the Higher Power. In time Greg does die. His Higher Power kneels at his side and crosses the teenager’s arms, lifting the hair from his young, pale face. He stands and looks down at the body that is ruined and vacant and he mouths a short prayer. He walks away from the body without looking back and climbs, in
