About

From the screenwriter of the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead comes a shocking new wave of zombie mayhem to devour your dreams-and feed your nightmares . . .

THEY ARE WHAT THEY EAT
It starts with infected needles. It spreads like a plague. Soon the town of Chapel Grove, Pennsylvania, is overrun with cannibalistic corpses. Some are taken down with a bullet to the brain. Others, torched like kindling. But a few have survived-inside a maternity ward . . .

THEY'RE EATING FOR TWO NOW
Detective Bill Curtis manages to rescue his pregnant wife Lauren from the ward in the nick of time. But the other pregnant women are not so lucky. Some of them have been bitten-and infected. Now it's anyone's guess what's growing inside them . . .

THEY'RE THE NEXT GENERATION
But the nightmare isn't over yet. The infected mothers' newborns appear to be normal. But as the years go by, Bill and Lauren Curtis begin to worry about their beautiful, healthy daughter Jodie. Jodie is drawn to the town's "special" children, the ones whose mothers were bitten. They're reaching adolescence now. Their hormones are raging. And they're starting to possess strange appetitites . . .

If you thought millenials were a pain, just wait until you meet Generation Z.

Reviews

"…imaginative and twisted. Fans of the zombie genre will love how Russo, screenwriter of Night of the Living Dead, twists the mythos and creates a new, frightening creature to infect the world."
Publishers Weekly
"A provocative and genre-expanding concept. Russo knows how to make your skin crawl, and he does it with gusto."
Wonder Alliance
"A novel that goes further than the original Night of the Living Dead. There is no taking your eyes off the pages until you've finished."
Horror After Dark
