When the living dead were hungry, they began falling apart like a fast-food burger put together by a greasy teen on their first day at the job.
The living dead, the gray things, the organ takers: first they ran, then they walked, then they liquefied into the cement as they starved…
Elijah faces threats from all sides: the red-eyed zombies ravenous for blood; the trigger-happy survivors killing for sport; a long, slow death from struggle and starvation. But maybe worst of all are the inescapable nightmares of the family he left behind on the other side of the country. As he travels across the ravaged United States with a young girl who has seen too much but still yearns for kinship, their survival skills and faith are tested to the limits. In a world where the dead have risen again, there is one last thing he needs to lay to rest.
