The world has ended, the dead walk the earth, and a profound silence has fallen over the land.
We return to the story of Seth and Melinda, siblings who've fallen in with the likes of Noone Tompkins, a bad man with a fast gun and a cruel disposition.

The world has ended, the dead walk the earth, and a profound silence has fallen over the land. Hundreds of miles east of the events of Part 1, a parallel story unfolds... A troubled woman marches west across the great, barren prairie. Suffering from a mental trauma, she's barely aware of the grim changes that have consumed the world around her. She avoids the dead, hides from people, and wanders westward in a daze. Hungry and tired, she finds her way to Montana, where she is taken prisoner on an Indian reservation run by a man with an iron fist and a cold heart.

The world has ended, the dead walk the earth, and a profound silence has fallen over the land.
There are no more cars to be heard chugging down the dirt road at the foot of the driveway. There are no more airplanes painting vapor trails across the sky. No more air conditioners thrumming in windows, no more dogs barking in the distance. The world is getting settled once again.
Two children, brother and sister, survive together on an isolated Montana farm. Their days are simple — find food, avoid the dead. They are the remnants of civilization, refugees from a vanished world.
Whispers of a new civilization in the New Mexico desert and a chance encounter with a band of renegade soldiers convinces them to strike out on the open road, to abandon the relative safety of the farm and fall in with strangers.
But the living may be worse than the dead.
Part 1 of a continuing series.
Spring City, New Hampshire - a small town with a dark past. Overwhelmed by an early winter storm, the town is cut off from the outside world, and its residents are consumed by paranoia and bloodlust. Little do they know there is a purpose to the storm, and the malevolent ghosts of long-dead neighbors might have something to do with it.
This is Spring City's last night, but its citizens won't go quietly.
