They died. Then they came back. And now they’re hungry.
When a terrifying pandemic sweeps across the globe, it claims the lives of nearly every child—only for them to rise again, seemingly alive… but not unchanged. To remain animated, they must consume human blood.
At first, parents do whatever it takes—donating their own blood, rallying for supplies, clinging to hope. But as banks run dry and desperation sets in, the unimaginable becomes reality: to feed their children, someone else must bleed.
In this Bram Stoker Award–nominated horror novel, Craig DiLouie explores the dark edge of parental love and asks: how far would you go to keep your child alive?
The Walking Dead meets Sophie’s Choice in a haunting, unforgettable tale of sacrifice, survival, and humanity’s breaking point.
