The new year is already off to a bad start for Lisa. Her old boyfriend made a lame pass at her, her car has broken down in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere, and just when she thinks things can't get any worse, a bunch of zombies start chasing her.

And so begins the latest chapter of ZombieWorld, the creepy, classic-styled horror fest brought to fright-fiction fans by Dark Horse every month.

ZombieWorld: Dead End artist/writer Stephen Blue claims his fans aren't the only ones spooked by the living dead that populate his pages. "When I first saw George Romero's Night of the Living Dead as a kid it scared the pants off me. With ZombieWorld: Dead End I've taken the basic concept of defending the fortress and turned it on its bloody, severed head. This also represents my first colored work, so I'm looking forward to seeing it dripping with red!"

When Lisa finds her way to an isolated house, she's not quite the guest the residents are expecting. Maybe their daughter who disappeared really will come back someday -- or maybe she's one of the many hungry visitors trudging through the dense green fog in search of a fleshy midnight snack. Sate your appetite for creeps and goose bumps January 14, when ZombieWorld: Dead End unearths itself for the retail price of $2.95.
