A chronicle of survival in a world of the living dead. There is no Heaven or Hell; there is only blood and the dust of flesh. The Dead in Their Masses Cornell, Delia, and Mason broke out of a prison overrun by hardened criminals, religious fanatics, and the walking dead. But what kind of world did they escape to?

An out-of-the-way community offers what appears to be safe haven until its dark secrets come to light... and open the way to the even more shocking secrets of what has brought the lifeless back from the grave. Soon the dead gather in their masses and the mysterious Red Man arrives to exert a strange influence over them.
