Rise of the Dead: An Earth-Shattering Anthology of Zombie Terror

From John A. Russo, co-author of "Night of the Living Dead: "

"By now almost everyone knows that the concept of the modern flesh-eating zombie originated in the sixties with "Night of the Living Dead." That's why I think that this anthology of short stories paying homage to that fact is a wonderful idea. When I was asked to write such a story, I was told that each and every story in the book would have to take place in or around the time, in 1968, when the horror classic that I co-authored took place...

Perhaps, for you, dear reader, some of the stories you will read in these pages will take their place as some of your very own favorites. Please step back with me into the 1960's - a time of peaceniks, rednecks and unspeakable zombie horror "
