The novel of the classic horror film, with an introduction by Simon Pegg! WHEN THERE IS NO MORE ROOM IN HELL, THE DEAD WILL WALK THE EARTH George A. Romero terrified a generation with his iconic horror film and with this cult-classic novel. Immerse yourself in this unparalleled vision from the revered master of the zombie apocalypse...and be terrified all over again. Zombies have overpowered the living and ravaged the world.

In downtown Philadelphia, four people escape the chaos and find shelter in a vacated shopping mall. But as their greed spirals and the undead close in, their haven for waiting out the end of the world becomes the last battleground for survival. And there is nowhere left to hide... "Dawn of the Dead is one of the best horror movies ever made." --Roger Ebert… (more)

Zombie apocalypse survivors camp out in a mall.

It's no Night of the Living Dead, but it's engrossing and fun. More an action movie than horror.
