Surviving the apocalypse is hard enough. Surviving it alone? That's damn near impossible.

Sixteen-year-old Ralph Farson knows this better than most. In a world overrun by the undead, he's had to make impossible choices—like using a chainsaw on his own zombie mom and feeding his father to a woodchipper. Now, he's heading for Boise, hoping to find safety... or at least something resembling it.

But fate has other plans.

A grizzled accountant with a violent streak. A woman haunted by the family she lost. A child who's seen too much. As Ralph crosses paths with unlikely allies, he learns that the dead aren't the only monsters left in the world. Some walk, some run, and some—some are worse than zombies.

Packed with brutal action, dark humor, and gut-wrenching horror, Killing the Dead is a fast-paced, blood-soaked ride through the end of the world.
