  Experience the zombie apocalypse with this illustrated survivor’s journal full of chilling tales of terror. 
   
  The year is 2012, and what starts as a pervasive and inexplicable illness ends up as a zombie infestation that devastates the world’s population. Taking the form of a biologist’s illustrated journal found in the aftermath of the attack, this pulse-pounding, suspenseful tale of zombie apocalypse follows the narrator as he flees from city to countryside and heads north to Canada, where he hopes the undead will be slowed by the colder climate. Encountering scattered humans and scores of the infected along the way, he fills his notebook with graphic drawings of the zombies and careful observations of their behavior, along with terrifying tales of survival that will keep readers on the edge of their seats right up to the very end. 
   
  Praise for Zombies 
   
  “Influenced by Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend, Zombies is a genuinely chilling and logical look at a zombie invasion. The matter-of-fact descriptions of the symptoms and effects, coupled with the detailed drawings of both victims and scenarios make it a creepy read . . . . A tremendous addition to any zombie book collection.” —Sfcrowsnest

  In prison, you hear a lot of stories. Whether they are from criminals trying to make themselves more intimidating or men sharing fragments of their pasts in an attempt to piece it all back together. Some of the stories are horrifying, some violent, but the ones that scare you the most are the ones that are true.Like the one about Albert Pike, the mild-mannered prison librarian that, despite his age, everyone seems to fear. Or the one about the ouija board carved into the floor of the prison, the man who talks to other people in his cell at night, even though he’s alone or the strange punishments delivered to the wicked, by those who are wickeder still.Those stories truly haunt you, because though the bars keep the prisoners in, they don’t keep the dark thing out.
