The dead are standing on their graves. Jake Lotts was stunned with how quickly and quietly it all happened - one morning, the East Coast just woke up and there they were, not an ounce of soil disturbed. Later that day, it was confirmed that the phenomenon was one of a global scale. Fear bred quickly, accelerated by a heavy-handed government who continue to police the masses using more military and private security forces than Jake could even fathom. Cemeteries were quarantined and trespassing in one became a crime punishable - ironically - by death. Checkpoints popped up on highways to prevent citizens from traveling too far from home in the case this might be some sort of outbreak carried by the living. Food and other necessities essential for survival are in short supply. Civilization is on the very edge of collapse because the dead are simply standing. When a nosy neighbor and a set of misunderstood circumstances land Jake in the chamber of horrors that now passes for a prison, everything changes. A series of bizarre events, things that Jake can only think to describe as miracles, send him on both a spiritual journey into his own psyche and a physical journey back to his old neighborhood to try and unravel the mystery and meaning of the "standers". What he discovers, however, is something much darker than he could have imagined. The future does not belong to the living. ______________________________________________ ISBN:
