Brian Keene is something of a leader in the horror genre. His books 'The Rising' and 'City of the Dead' helped resurrect the zombie subgenre that is still going strong today.

In This Dark Earth, author John Hornor Jacobs wastes no time in upsetting the proverbial apple cart. Within pages of unleashing a zombie uprising on a small hospital in Arkansas – an uprising that begins with disquieting scenes of physical distortion and self-cannibalism – Jacobs unlimbers a series of nuclear strikes that take out most of
