| Plot Summary of The Walking |
"Bentley Little, my favorite horror author does it again with this truly chilling horror novel. Little can take a old horror cliche: walking dead and breaths new life to it(no pun intended. A town of witches, walking dead and evil curse from beyond the grave are some of the elements in this terrifying novel. Little's novel sinister atmosphere is so palpable you can almost feel the evil and the terror. Another classic of true fright!
