Industry Reviews
'The novel makes for an exciting, grippingly intense and at times gruesome one-off read.' Book Geeks
'The novel hooked me from the first page . . . begs to be read.' Geeks of Doom
'An excellent companion to the The Walking Dead comic books. The story is enriched by the novel format, and the characterization of the series' most hated villain is something no fan will want to miss.' Examiner.com
'This book stands alone and is a compelling read for fans of the series or just fans of zombies. Watch out though, because once you get a taste of the particular Kirkman brand of zombie mayhem, catching up on past issues is just around the corner.' The Ossuary
'The story makes a great novel. You'll get sucked in and can easily visualize everything that is happening. It's simply a great read.' Comic Vine
'It takes great advantage of the literary medium in a way that most tie-in books would not.' TV Over Mind
'Not for the faint of heart, this book runs on pressure-cooker suspense, graphically described bloodshed, and dark acts of brutality...This riveting character study adds a new dimension to the oeuvre by fleshing out established characters and plot lines.' School Library Journal
