U.S. fans who pre-order Romero’s The Living Dead novel can get a poster

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Before genre icon George A. Romero passed away in 2017, he had been working on a massively scaled, epic zombie novel called The Living Dead. Sadly, he wasn't able to finish the book, but he did leave behind notes that allowed author Daniel Kraus, who co-wrote the THE SHAPE OF WATER novel with Guillermo del Toro, to finish it. With a page count of 656, the book is set to receive a hardcover and digital release on August 4th. 

Copies can be pre-ordered at THIS LINK – and Kraus has taken to social media to let people know that anyone who does pre-order a copy in the United States is eligible to receive a special edition poster that is "available nowhere else". Only those who can upload a pre-order receipt at Macmillan.com can get this poster, while supplies last. Here's some more info:

Offer Period: Offer begins at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) on Tuesday, June 23, 2020 and continues through 11:59 PM ET on Monday, August 03, 2020, while supplies last. 

Eligibility: Offer is open only to persons who are a legal resident of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia and who are 13 years of age or older. We are sorry for the geographic restriction; unfortunately it is required for various legal reasons. Any person who is under 18 years of age or otherwise under the legal age of majority in their place of residence (a "Minor") must obtain permission from his or her parent or legal guardian, and the agreement of the parent or legal guardian to these Offer Terms, prior to requesting to redeem this Offer. Eligibility determinations will be made by Sponsor in its discretion and will be final and binding. There is a limit of one offer redemption per person, per household and per email address. 

The Living Dead has the following synopsis: 

It begins with one body.

A pair of medical examiners find themselves battling a dead man who won’t stay dead.

It spreads quickly.

In a Midwestern trailer park, a Black teenage girl and a Muslim immigrant battle newly-risen friends and family. On a US aircraft carrier, living sailors hide from dead ones while a fanatic makes a new religion out of death. At a cable news station, a surviving anchor keeps broadcasting while his undead colleagues try to devour him. In DC, an autistic federal employee charts the outbreak, preserving data for a future that may never come.

Everywhere, people are targeted by both the living and the dead.

We think we know how this story ends.

We. Are. Wrong.

The poster that's up for grabs can be seen below.
