A note for parents

This zombie anthology is set during the iconic 1968 outbreak and features stories by acclaimed horror writers. While marketed to young adults, the collection emphasizes survival horror with graphic zombie violence, psychological dread, and mature themes typical of the genre. Most stories are likely to contain significant gore and frightening scenarios rather than graphic sexual content, though the tone is consistently dark and intense throughout.

But it all started on that dreadful night in a remote farmhouse. . . . Nights of the Living Dead returns to that night, to the outbreak, to where it all began.
