As the group of survivors in Kentucky grows and the compound evolves into a true community, new hope rises. The struggle to live has become a cooperative effort by many to build something new. Though the threat of the zombie hoards and violent marauders is ever-present, the citizens of the compound discover new allies and friends, and new hope. The effort of merely existing fades as the growing community discovers that it is possible to truly live in a world of the dead.

[This volume is also available with the first six month collection, "With Spring Comes The Fall", in "Living With the Dead: Year one", a special edition of the story that collects both six month eBooks into one massive story for a dollar less than buying them individually. Also included in "Year One" are several short stories by the author as well as a behind the scenes essay on the creation of the blog and the work of writing it.

Plus:

"Rollin' in the Deep", a short story by Annetta Ribken

"If you're bitten by zombies, you're off the guest list" by Rachel Ayers

and "Monsters Unmasked: A Living With the Dead Novella" by Lori Whitwam
