On a lark, six young people break into a live action gaming arcade populated by the resurrected bodies of the poor. Will they be able to escape with their lives?

SERIES DESCRIPTION:   Hidden in an abandoned Long Island wasteland is a terrifying secret. Twelve years before, a horrible disease killed millions without mercy. Then the dead rose. Years later, the island has been turned into a digital playground for the rich, the privileged, and the sinfully twisted.

Welcome to The Game.

Written in episodic format, much like the television shows The Walking Dead and Supernatural, this is the original set of eight stories that became a zombie phenomenon, a post-apocalyptic saga with a cyberpunk twist.

All eight full-length, individually-titled installments are available singly and in discounted bundles. Look for the 8-episode Season One omnibus, or the 14-book Super Omnibus, for even bigger savings.
