MARK JUSTICE / DAVID T. WILBANKS
When a small New Mexico town becomes a zombie breeding ground, one law man must fight to protect his home in this "thrilling, brutal apocalyptic novella" (Tim Lebbon, author of The Silence). Something bad has happened in Nevada. Rumors circulate about plagues and secret government experiments. Paranoia is spreading like wildfire. And it doesn't help that the President isn't talking. In Serenity, New Mexico, Deputy Sheriff Jubal Slate has his hands full. It seems that half the town, including his mother and his boss, are sick from an unusual malady. Even more worrisome is the oddly-colored dawn sky. When a strange woman shows up in town with a nightmarish story about what really happened in the Nevada desert, no one believes her. Even as Serenity's townspeople start dying, the story seems insane. But they won't stay dead for long. And Slate will find out the terrifying truth.
