In a quiet, southern town, the dead rise to consume the living. The adults of Harmony have fled the town, hidden themselves away, or walk amongst the rotting hordes. Only a group of teens and children are left to struggle in a world ruled by the dead. A boy named David awakens to find his mother has returned home, a month after her death. A girl named Jodie and her disturbed, little sister are trapped within a house as ghouls claw at the front door. David and Jodie must band together to survive and find a way out. They will learn that zombies aren't the only monsters out to harm the children of the dead. In the tradition of Night of the Living Dead and the Walking Dead, the novel, Children of the Dead, is a harrowing tale of survival in a broken world.
