“When there’s no more room left in hell, the dead will walk the Earth”

Zombie godfather George A. Romero is finally writting his first novel, ‘The Living Dead’, explaining how Romero’s particular legions of the undead came to be. Hopefully it will either solidify or debunk all of the fanboy rumors once and for all.

The UK Publisher, Headline, describes the premise of The Living Dead as, “the full story behind the living dead: how they came to be [and] what they can and cannot do”. It starts in San Diego, where a corpse sits up and begins to walk during an autopsy, while a reporter from Atlanta shows viewers “glimpses of increasing chaos from around the globe”.

The novel is set to be released in July 2010
