Atomic Zombies

by Gary Wedlund

In the blink of an eye, the world has turned into ash, leaving behind a planet thrown into chaos. Months later, the radioactive dust settles, and the survivors crawl out of their holes. They find the world has been changed forever. In the Ohio countryside, Joe and Zuzu find nothing but devastation, bodies and rotting corn as far as the eye can see. Every breath is personal and rebuilding their lives becomes endless toil. In a nearby town, others emerge with more malevolent intentions. They murder the men and elderly, keeping the women as slaves. Zuzu wants to help, but Joe is cautious. After all, they have to think of the children they have adopted, small survivors with no one else to take care of them. And if things aren't hard enough, they must also deal with the walking dead.
