George Romero and Daniel Kraus's THE LIVING DEAD (9/7) now coming in Paperback: "George A. Romero invented the modern zombie with Night of the Living Dead, creating the monster that has become a key part of pop culture. Romero often felt hemmed in by the constraints of filmmaking. To tell the story of the rise of the zombies and the fall of humanity the way it should be told, Romero turned to fiction. Unfortunately, when he died, the story was incomplete.
Enter Daniel Kraus, co-author, with Guillermo del Toro, of the New York Times bestseller The Shape of Water (based on the same idea the two created for the Academy Award-winning movie) and Trollhunters (which became an Emmy Award-winning series), and author of many other books of horror and suspense for all ages. A lifelong Romero fan, Kraus was honored to be asked, by Romero's widow, to complete THE LIVING DEAD (Available for the first time in Trade Paperback; Nightfire; On-sale: September 7, 2021).
Set in the present day, THE LIVING DEAD is an entirely new tale, the story of the zombie plague as George A. Romero wanted to tell it. Combining his extensive knowledge of Romero’s longtime themes and the filmmaker’s partial manuscript with prodigious research and his own talent and creativity, Daniel Kraus has created, in THE LIVING DEAD, the ultimate gift to Romero
and horror fans. It is a sprawling, action-packed work of epic scale, and Kraus and Romero have crafted compelling characters for readers to follow through a startlingly relatable global pandemic. Survivors must fight back not just against the monsters, but against mob-militia brutality, which ultimately turns against a peaceful march -- a scene 50 years in the making with its roots in the finale of Night of the Living Dead. The novel's timeliness is uncanny, but then again, Romero always managed to be timely."
