An action-packed, post-apocalyptic adventure for fans of The Walking Dead, World War Z and Feed. The dead don't always die. Those who rise again are the Walkin' . . .

Thomas is thirty-two. He comes from the small town of Barkley. He has a wife there, Sarah, and a child, Mary; good solid names from the Good Book. And he is on his way home from the war, where he has been serving as a conscripted soldier.

Thomas is also dead - risen again, he is one of the Walkin'.

And Barkley does not suffer the wicked to live.

Industry Reviews

This is a sparse, elegantly written novel about family ties. The influence of Cormac McCarthy and especially The Road is keenly felt, and Thomas and Mary's relationship is moving without being overly sentimental . . . the deft world-building and focus on small-scale human tragedy make for an absorbing alternative to World War Z -style epics. - SFX

'All in all it was a fantastic read and would recommend it highly. An excitingly uncomfortable read' Moggy's Books. - Moggy's Books

'Intelligent plotting and terrific storytelling throughout, I found this utterly gripping' Liz Loves Books. - Liz Loves Books

'Literary Horror at its best ... an extremely talented new voice in genre fiction' readerdad.co.uk. - readerdad.co.uk

'David Towsey has created something new and quite amazing in his debut. Re-interpreting the well-represented zombie genre, flipping it upside-down and front-to-back ... utterly captivating' Book Plank. - Book Plank

'Haunting, elegiac, evocative and human. Combines the taut yet melancholy feel of a classic pursuit Western with an authentically horrific sense of history gone wrong. A beautifully crafted debut' Christopher Brookmyre. - Christopher Brookmyre

This debut is utterly engrossing. It's a truly fascinating reinterpretation of the zombie myths ... I want to read a sequel to this book tomorrow. No, let me rephrase that, I NEED to read a sequel to this book tomorrow - The Eloquent Page

Something completely new and different . . . literary and elegant at the same time . . . I recommend it to anyone looking for something that's different, resonant and not "just another zombie book" - Bibliosanctum
