Deads Rise!
(2024)(The first book in the Post-Apocalyptic Revolution series)
A novel by Shawn Whitney
They called it the Day of the Deads—a moment that changed everything.
Across the world, everyone aged thirteen to forty-five died, then rose again 8 hours later. They were aware aware but without a heartbeat, without breath, without hunger. To the living, they’re monsters. To a few, they’re the future.
As fear tears the country apart, Freddy flees a survivalist cult that wants to destroy him as a demon, Tanitia Mortero searches for the science behind what has happened while hiding from anti-Deads militias that patrol the streets, and Lianne Young fights to survive a city at war with itself.
The undead youth of America are evolving – and the living will stop at nothing to destroy them.
Deads Rise is a fierce YA dystopian sci-fi thriller about identity, fear, and rebellion. Perfect for fans of The Girl With All the Gifts and The Maze Runner.
★★★★★ - "perfect for readers who want more complexity in their apocalyptic tales, especially if they enjoy character-driven, socially charged narratives." - Reader Reviewer
★★★★★ - "Great, great, great story. Very well written and gripping from start to end. Nothing like a zombie story we've come to expect. Packed with lots of short quips that made me laugh. Undertone of a serious subject - what actually is the point of life and how do we truly define it." - Reader Reviewer
