    Some houses remember. Some refuse to forgive. 
     
    When a young family inherits a stunning mountain home outside Telluride, Colorado, they believe they’ve found paradise—six thousand square feet of glass and timber perched above a snow-draped valley. 
     
    Instead, they inherit the nightmares. 
     
    Every night, armed men drag them from their beds. Every night, they are forced into the snow at gunpoint and marched into the dark. 
     
    Desperate for answers, they call Ellen, Sue, and Tanya. 
     
    What begins as a haunting rooted in restless dreams soon reveals a deeper unrest—one born during Colorado’s violent labor wars at the turn of the twentieth century. A mine manager shot dead. A union leader accused of murder. A town divided by loyalty, fear, and bloodshed. And beneath the house’s modern foundation lies the original cellar—along with the buried records of a conflict that was never truly resolved. 
     
    As the nightmares grow more vivid and the mountain itself seems to tremble with memory, Ellen and her friends must determine what really happened in 1901—and whether justice was ever served. 
     
    Because someone is still fighting that war. 
     
    And this time, the living are caught in the crossfire.

    The 27th installment in the UK's Bestselling Horror Series. When a deadly infection spreads across Europe, supermarket manager Howie’s ordinary life is thrown into chaos. As the world crumbles around him, he teams up with his autistic best mate, Dave and a ragtag group of misfits to face an enemy unlike any other—the undead. But this isn’t just any infection. It evolves. It learns. And it’s getting smarter every day. Howie soon learns that nothing is quite what it seems - and neither is he. 
     
    With fast-paced, blistering action, The Undead series follows Howie and Dave and their unlikely friends as they become the only hope for humanity pitted in a race against time to stop the infection before it becomes clevererer than them. Which honestly wouldn't be that hard. 
     
    The Undead has grown to become an iconic British series, redefining zombie horror with rich, unparalleled characterisation—seldom seen outside of literary fiction. But The Undead becomes far more than a zombie story. This is a tale of loyalty and friendship, of how we bond and how far we will go for the people we love. Its catchphrases have become part of everyday language for its readers, and its razor-sharp humour reflects the stupidity and greed of humanity, while still offering hope that we can rise above and do the right thing.

    "It's dark tonight I hope we aren't seen," a man said to his partner in crime. 
    "It's like the old days we climb in a window and pray not to get caught," said the thief who was known as the Chameleon to his partner the Cat as they stealthily walked through the garden of their mark. 
    "The room is the third window on the second story," said the Cat examining the building. The Chameleon tested the strength of a lattice leading to it going up the wall. 
    This should work I'm surprised people are so careless with security," the Chameleon said laughing. They climbed up the lattice trying not to be pricked by the thorns of the rose that climbed up it as well. 
    "The alarm is off or it should be, but I'll disable it," said the Chameleon. 
    He cut the alarm wire and jimmied the window till it opened. 
    They climbed in the room and looked about it. 
    "The safe is behind that painting," said the Chameleon pointing at the only picture in the room. 
    "Ok who will do the work you or me?" asked the Cat who was as skilled a cracksman as the Chameleon. 
    "It's my turn you did the last job," said the Chameleon who walked over to the picture removing it handing it to the Cat to put down. 
    The Chameleon put his ear to the safe and cracked the lock and opened the door removing the contents out of the safe putting it in a backpack on the Cat's back. 
    "Got it! Let's go." said the Chameleon.These Thieves Are Dead!How can the dead commit robbery?
