George A. Romero terrified a generation with his iconic horror film and with this cult-classic novel. Immerse yourself in this unparalleled vision from the revered master of the zombie apocalypse...and be terrified all over again.

Zombies have overpowered the living and ravaged the world. Society has collapsed as humans race to save themselves. No one knows how far the creatures have spread or how to stop them. In downtown Philadelphia four people escape the chaos and find shelter in a vacated shopping mall. But as their greed spirals and the undead close in, their haven for waiting out the end of the world becomes the last battleground for survival. And there is nowhere left to hide.

Good audiobook I remember the movie over 30 years ago. It’s a little different but still very good!

Narrator was awesome and although I've read this book multiple times, it's still so entertaining.

I've seen the film, getting the story told is just amazing! With small changes, it remains fresh and invigorating. Must listen for Romero acolytes.

The utmost classic

I didn't like the book. I gave it 4 stars because my dislike for it wasn't about pour audio, or any thing like that. the man reading it was ok. his imitation of women was just awkward but he still made the point clear. the story line is what I'm on the fence about. I've seen tons of movies and the book just starts mid scene and even ends mid scene. maybe I just don't know what I was expecting. I'm currently wondering if this is part of a series. overall, a decent listen and definitely has many suspenseful moments that are enjoyable.

this is my first zombie audiobook

I'm huge fan of dawn of the dead. This book adds more information about characters and setting. The narrator was perfect. I felt like was watching the movie with added scenes. Great job on the book.

Adds to the movie.

this audio book is like the directors cut of the old movie. it's basically word for word, scene for scene the original script. great for anyone who hasn't already seen the movie four hundred times.

I'm a HUGE fan of Dawn of the Dead (1978), but for some reason I've never read the book. After listening to the reading sample, I was all in.

What I love about the book is it fleshes out the characters even more than they already are. It doesn't change motivations at all, but it adds to the motivations. Plus, there are additional 'scenes' in the book that aren't in the film so it's making it somewhat new again.

The performance by Jonathan Davis is fantastic. I don't know if he's a fan of the movie, but he certainly acted it out like he is and it made the experience all the better.

Definitely recommend this to horror fans in general and fans of Dawn of the Dead in particular.

Perfect for fans of the film.
