Now, here's a bit more about each book:
CITY OF THE DEAD
In 2003, Delirium Books published The Rising, the first novel by then newcomer Brian Keene. Since its publication, critics have hailed The Rising as "a major horror novel" and Keene as "the next Stephen King." The Rising went on to win the Bram Stoker Award and became Delirium’s quickest selling title to date.
It also left readers worldwide asking, "What happens next?"
In January 2005, Delirium Books will present the answer to that question, with the publication of City of the Dead. This long awaited sequel to The Rising picks up where the first book left off, and immediately raises the stakes—and the horror.
Trapped inside a fortified skyscraper, humanity makes its last stand against an unstoppable, unforgiving, and undying enemy. The terror mounts with every page as they face overwhelming odds and dwindling numbers. Welcome to New York City—population eight million zombies. Welcome to…the City of the Dead.

1/300 Limited, Signed Hardcovers $50.00
(There are no unsigned hardcovers only 300 total. And the paperback doesn't come out for months and months after the hard cover.)
Here’s what the critics had to say about The Rising and Brian Keene:
"(The Rising is) the most brilliant and scariest book ever written. Brian Keene is the next Stephen King."
—The Horror Review
"The Rising is an absolutely kick-ass, mega-page turning zombie reinvention novel. Flamboyantly violent, action-packed, and verbally straight-up on delivering the goods."
—John Skipp-Editor of Book of the Dead 1 & 2
"An apocalyptic epic packed with violence, gore, scares and moral dilemmas. Brian Keene has given zombies their next upgrade. The Rising signals the arrival of a major new horror novelist."
—Cemetery Dance
"The Rising is more terrifying than anything currently on the shelf or screen."
—Rue Morgue
"Brian Keene has raised the living dead to a profound new level. A prodigious talent—The Rising takes a bite from beginning to end and you're hooked!"
—Ken Foree, Star of Dawn of the Dead
"The Rising is chock full of gore and violence…an apocalyptic epic."
—Fangoria
So anyone who wants to read it way early hurry and get a copy less then 100 left and they just went onsale yesturday afternoon.
