"Like a lost Romero classic", writes Clive Barker in a blurb for "The Living Dead" by George A. Romero & @danielkraus.com which I couldn't agree more to. But it is also a wonderful exploration, hommage to and conclusion to Romeros work. Very, very recommended!

Agreed! Have you read Angel Down? I had a similar reaction to it and also couldn’t stop reading. No one’s doing it like Daniel Kraus atm.

Update to my 2026 book list!
FINALLY finished ANGEL DOWN. Decided yesterday to see if I could push past my hump in chapter 5 , which turned into a whirlwind weekend reading a paragraph every second I had the chance until it was done.
Absolutely loved it. Also Way gorier than anticipated.

Whalefall was a survival horror, a monster movie, an eldritch horror story, a disaster movie, a body horror.

@danielkraus.com Forgive me if this runs long. I've just finished watching Whalefall. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't think I can adequately express what the book meant to me. When I read it, I had just lost my husband of 29 years. He relapsed into alcoholism and took his own life in a horrid way.
