In this action-packed prelude to the hit series, acclaimed horror writer Daniel Kraus (George Romero’s The Living Dead, The Autumnal) unveils four globe-spanning tales from the earliest days of the zombie apocalypse when even the wildest rumors couldn’t measure up to the horror to come.
A streetwise Russian cop patrols the back alleys of the opportunistic black market that emerges in response to the crisis… a North Korean soldier observes strange happenings on the DMZ… An E.R. nurse in the rural South fights to protect her hospital from threats without and within… A transgender flight attendant who has observed disturbing clues as she crisscrosses the globe keeps a wary eye on the passenger in seat 23C.
