ok so im willing to bet most people have never heard of the rising and r wondering what i am talking about! well the rising started as a book written by Brian Keene! he is a very powerful writer imo! anyway the rising is about the dead coming back to life! but they are smart! like they can use guns and drive cars and what not! so as mankind is diminished the book centers around one mans quest to get to new jersey where his son is trapped in a attic! he gets help from a preacher, a scientist, and a prostitute! anyway if u like horror, blood and guts action then you will love the book! i found it highly entertaining and everyone should definintly go pick up a copy!
