ISBN-10: 1847249906
ISBN-13: 978-1847249906
From the author of Let the Right One In, Handling the Undead is a very unique approach to this subject matter as it concentrates on the how the living respond to the dead rising, rather than the guts and gore that often come hand in hand with the walking dead.
