If you've ever been lonely, you know how it feels to be in a room or city full of people, but still feel completely by yourself. That kind of isolation is cranked up to eleven in a zombified world. Entire neighborhoods are wiped out, and cities are filled with who else but the walking dead themselves. It's a lonely existence, being one of the last remaining living humans on earth. The artwork in this book does an amazing job of conveying this desolate environment.
