PROMISCUVILLE:
RISE OF THE DEAD (2012)
Written by Chris Wade
"I felt as if I was there with the characters. I felt that I was reading a cross between a Stephen King novel and a George Romero movie script. This is a great read!"
- We Zombie
Promiscuville represents everything that can possibly go wrong in society. It is a town of crime, looting, violence, debauchery and sleaze. But according to Beth Almond, who claims to have witnessed the cannibalistic slaughter of her husband Billy, the real badness hasn't even started yet. She tells trusting psychiatrist Dr Hurst that the town will fall victim to an evil uprising. While the authorities claim her theories are a cover for her obvious guilt, more and more people of Promiscuville are meeting a violent end. As the murders spread, they one day reach breaking point and all hell rises. The dead roam the streets, driven by an uncontrollable hunger for the flesh of the living.
