They call it Deadtown: the city’s quarantined section for its inhuman

Vaughn, Boston’s only professional demon slayer, isn’t exactly human…
Boston’s
zombies have suddenly become inexplicably violent — horror

More troubling to Vicky is that she’s had dreams and visions of herself

zombie plague, having formed an unholy pact with the Old Ones. Now, as
the violence escalates and alliances shift, Vicky knows she’s the only
one who can stop the plague. Unless the pack of hellhounds on her trail
finds her first.
