    In one day, the world succumbed to a pestilence that decimated the living. In its place rose a new species: vicious, gruesome, wandering zombies with an insatiable hunger for the living. There is no shelter. No government. In this new world, you're either a survivor or a zed. Still in her twenties, Cash has watched her friends die, only to walk again. An office worker with few survival skills, she joins up with Clutch, a grizzled Army veteran with PTSD. Together, they flee the city and struggle through the nine circles of hell, with nothing but Clutch's military experience and Cash's determination to live. As they fight to survive in the zombie inferno, they quickly discover that nowhere is safe from the undead?or the living. 100 DAYS IN DEADLAND is a horror novel set during a near-future zombie apocalypse. What makes it unique is that it's a retelling of Dante Alighieri's classic tale on the horrors of hell?reimagined zombie apocalypse style.
