The Living Dead

George A Romero essentially created the iconography of the modern zombie myth via his string of legendary movies. When he died in 2017, he left an incomplete novel, a story he wished to tell that he could never get the budget or funding for. This manuscript has been taken up and completed by Daniel Kraus. It's hard to guess what's Romero and what's Kraus (although the fascinating Afterword goes some way towards this), but the most important thing is, it feels authentic. Just like the movies, there are lashings of gore, mixed with trenchant social commentary. The atmosphere is right and the settings feel faithful to the films without slavishly reproducing them. George's trademark pessimism is there in spades as well. Fans are also going to dig the nods to other Romero films, and some other post apocalyptic scenarios (I'm sure there was a reference to The Last Of Us).
As a quibble, I'd like to have seen more of a global perspective, but maybe that's a different book. This is highly recommended for anyone who enjoyed Romero's classic films.
