The Classic Novel That Spawned the Blockbuster Cult Film

Few motion pictures have achieved true cult status. George Romero's zombie trilogy - Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead - are such films: grisly, innovative studies in horror that have shocked and entertained millions of viewers. They are rightly ranked among the true classics of modern horror cinema.

In Dawn of the Dead, the ghouls from Night of the Living Dead have returned with an insatiable hunger for human flesh, and a message that haunts the human mind. Young and old, black and white, their former lives forgotten, they fill the streets of our cities and run wild through our shopping centers, consuming everyone and everything they touch with the curse of living death. As four ordinary people take refuge in an overrun shopping mall and arm themselves against the onslaught, Dawn of the Dead becomes more than a bloodbath. In a world where life is a commodity, where survival is bought with guns, and where satisfaction is having free run of a department store, the dead will finally rule us all...

Robert Ebert called Dawn of the Dead "an ultimate horror film." It is that and more: a landmark film, and a powerful novel of a world not too distant from our own.

The Fog

Written by Dennis Etchison

Based on a motion picture written by
John Carpenter and Debra Hill

BEFORE THE LIGHT OF DAWN,
YOU WILL KNOW THE
VENGEFUL FURY OF THE DEAD.

Tonight the fog that rises off the California coast is different. And deadly. A writhing icy mist pulsing with terror. It is too late to escape. Even now the people of Antonio Bay are cut off, engulfed. Along darkend streets, death searches them out. There is no sanctuary for the living. Those who are doomed will die horribly. Those who are spared will suffer the endless fear of a soul-chilling night when the dead, finally, return for revenge.

LEGACY OF THE LIVING DEAD

Evil hangs over the Caribbean island of St. Miquelon. June and Steve Lambert can feel it in the sultry air and in the suspicious eyes of the islanders. They came expecting to find a paradise at the plantation left to June by her grandmother... instead they walk into a deadly unknown.

But June and Steve are safe while daylight remains. Safe as long as they leave St. Miquelon before nightfall. Safe until the moment they find themselves stranded on the remote estate.

Then a cold fear seems to grow with the darkness and the jungle drums. Because June's real legacy is a terrifying truth... a truth to make the blood run cold as the front stairs creak with footsteps, as shuffling feet drag slowly closer, as something pushes the door open... and the horror begins.

And it will come again...
