John Doe Versus Death

A chef named Doe avoids wartime service when he's mysteriously assigned as a cook for a group of condemned men at an isolated prison. While Doe escapes what he thought would be certain death as a soldier, he can't elude constant reminders of his mortality. His fear follows him home, forcing him to question man's beliefs and the way we chose to live. Friends and killers and a pie-obsessed elderly woman help Doe come to terms with life.

Who is John Doe? Anyone one of us could be John Doe... All our lives could turn on a dime. How would you deal with your life changing overnight? This is the true story of a family who lived and built the American dream. The story of how they escaped from Communist Hungary and how they built their business. A business they bought for $150 in 1979 turned into a multi-million dollar-a-year manufacturing facility over 35 years. A story of struggle, hardship and determination. A man following his dream... A dream to be living free in a free country and to provide for his family. A dream halted by a company we all know and the colours of Yellow and Blue you all associate with good and not EVIL. A company that not only sabotaged this family but killed their business because of greed and a witch hunt.

New York Times bestselling author Daniel Kraus completes George A. Romero's brand-new masterpiece of zombie horror, the massive novel left unfinished at Romero's death! Download a FREE sneak peek today! George A. Romero invented the modem zombie with Night of the Living Dead, creating a monster that has become a key part of pop culture. Romero often felt hemmed in by the constraints of film-making. To tell the story of the rise of the zombies and the fall of the humanity the way it should be told, Romero turned to fiction. Unfortunately, when he died, the story was incomplete. Enter Daniel Kraus, co-author, with Guillermo del Toro, of the New York Times bestseller The Shape of Water (based on the Academy Award-winning movie) and Trollhunters (which became an Emmy Award-winning series), and author of The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch (an Entertainment Weekly Top 10 Book of the Year). A lifelong Romero fan, Kraus was honored to be asked, by Romero's wido, to complete The Living Dead. Set in the present day, The Living Dead is an entirely new tale, the story of the zombie plague as George A. Romero wanted to tell it. It begins with one body. A pair of medical examiners find themselves battling a dead man who won't stay dead. It spreads quickly. In a Midwestern trailer park, a Black teenage girl and a Muslim immigrant battle newly-risen friends and family. On a US aircraft carrier, living sailors hide from dead ones while a fanatic makes a new religion out of death. At a cable news station, a surviving anchor keeps broadcasting while his undead colleagues try to devour him. In DC, an autistic federal employee charts the outbreak, preserving data for a future that may never come.
