Go back to the beginning of the end of the world...
Hell has come to earth as sadistic zombies rampage and massacre the human population. Reverend Thomas Martin has lost his congregation to the chaos but he found two wayward survivors to protect - Becky and John. The three of them have holed up in Martin's church in a desperate attempt for survival. But as supplies run low and civilization crumbles around them, Martin must come to a realization - God has abandoned them. But why?
Is there any chance of hope in this new world? Is there any chance for deliverance?
Modern horror legend, Brian Keene returns to his fan-favorite universe of The Rising with a tale of faith, loss, and zombies.
This special edition also includes two short stories that expand and explore The Rising mythos - "The Resurrection and the Life" and "The Siqquism who Stole Christmas."
