  If, at the end of your life, you got to pick one day to relive, what day would you pick? 
  Walter Zawislak wants none of it. Not a day to relive, not a trip down memory lane through a life he wasted. His wife, Rosie, died twenty years ago, and without her he hasn’t done much living. So if it’s lights out for him, then just turn them off already and let him get some peace and quiet. 
  But Peter, the mysterious young man in charge of Walter’s afterlife, isn’t listening to Walter. In Peter’s eyes there is beauty in every day, even the bad ones. Even the really bad ones. Of which Water has had more than a few. But there are also days of bravery and heroism. Selflessness and grace. 
  And Rosie…there are lots of days of Rosie. 
  Before it’s too late for both of them, Peter has to remind Walter that there’s more to life than dying.

  There are monsters in this world. And they used to be us. Now it's time to euthanize, to survive in a hospice where Emily, a woman haunted by her past, only wants to do her job and be the best mother possible. 
  Post-infection Chicago. Christmas. Inside The Hospice, Emily and her fellow nurses do their rounds. Here, men and women live out their final days in comfort, segregated from society, and are then humanely terminated before fate turns them into marrow-craving monsters known as "Smilers". Outside these imposing walls, rabid protesters swarm with signs, caught up in the heat of their hatred. 
  Emily, a woman haunted by her past, only wants to do her job and be the best mother possible. But in a world where mortality means nothing, where guns are drawn in fear and nobody seems safe anymore - at what cost will this pursuit come? And through it all, the soon to be dead remain silent, ever smiling. Such is their curse. 
  This emotional, political novel comes from two of horror’s freshest voices, and puts a new spin on an eternal topic: the undead. In the spirit of George A Romero meets Jack Ketchum, Where the Dead Go to Die it is an unforgettable epilogue to the zombie genre, one that will leave you shaken and questioning right from wrong...even when it’s the only right left. 
  It won't be long before that snow-speckled ground will be salted by blood.
