Most survivors think the zombie apocalypse has arrived. A few think what is occurring is a startling evolutionary leap. But why now? And what are the Deads changing into?

As anti-Dead militias form to hunt them down, the Deads struggle to escape destruction.

Tanitia Mortero, a young scientist in California, embarks on a perilous cross-country journey to join a research team. Another leads the Deads of New York towards civil war with an anti-Dead, messianic militia called the Year Zero Army. A young man raised in a small town cult, fights to stay alive as his neighbors try to burn him at the stake as a demon.

An explosion is inevitable, a post-apocalyptic collapse is unfolding.

‘Deads Rise’ offers a fresh, provocative take on the zombie genre that will appeal to fans of M.R. Carey’s ‘The Girl With All The Gifts‘ and NK Jemisin’s ‘The Fifth Season‘ series. This pulse-pounding YA zombie thriller asks readers to reconsider what it truly means to be human – or ‘dead’ – in a world where evolution itself has been turned on its head.
