When everything shatters into madness, how do you pick up the pieces that are left? When your friends lie bleeding around you, which ones do you fight to save? To find these answers, Helena Hawthorn will have to face the ghosts that now walk the hall around her. In the wake of J.D.'s madness, Helena and G.R.I.T. will have to find the courage to fight for their home and for each other as a new evil takes hold of their lives. The biggest threat to the high school and its survivors is no longer the Risen, and G.R.I.T. will have to fight to survive.
Marie F Crow believes that monsters should keep you up at night with the thoughts of “what if” stalking your mind. She began writing horror after feeling the genre of zombie horror was getting too far away from actual horror, forgetting what a zombie is, and what that can mean to your world.
The recent advents of movies and literature have pushed the concept of the flesh eating undead too far into the realm of the mundane and cute. There is a need to once more rehash the genre with the proper respect to the psychological ramifications, and sheer horror, that the monsters deserve.
That sheer horror of possibly having to kill your friends, family, or anyone else for that matter before they become a shambling corpse willing, even driven, to consume the flesh of their own. The psychological destruction to the minds of the living their deaths could cause to those around them.
With the release of The Risen series, she hopes to, once again, breathe fear back into the genre that has always been a favorite of hers. Crafting her stories with honest emotions, and believable circumstances, she creates her world with an added twist to the classic monsters. She believes nothing is sacred in the land of horror inviting the reader to explore the depth of that concept by luring them deeper into her realm with visual images and emotional drama wrapped with a sparkling, gore dripping bow.
With open arms, she welcomes them back into the world of horror hoping they enjoy the ride, but requests they do keep all their limbs inside the ride at all times. The Risen are waiting, and they are hungry.
Helena and her group have been throuhh hell. I can't believe how the ppl followed Travis and Selma with their godly preachings. Im Christian and I believe in God but the things they were having ppl do for Him shoulda proved that they were evil and not on Gods side. Some ppl are just stupid. Now they created new zombie whereof u are bit you will turn. That's so not good and now its more dangerous than ever. Add the fact that they had to leave the school, their safe haven, and are on the run again makes it worse. I hate that Chapel got killed. It broke my heart. He was always on Helena and Aimes side. Now he is gone too just like J.D. I'm glad that Lawless, Marxx, Rhett are still there with Aimes and Helena and now a few others are added go their group like paula, the nurse, Dolph, and etc. In their attempt go flee they ran into a new group which is the group we met in the last nook so thats exciting especially when one of the members of the new group is Helenas father. I guess we will see where it goes. Onto The final book for me! Yay!
