“The initial stages of these uprisings will be reported sporadically, as small cells or covens begin hunting humans in numerous locations—urban, suburban, and rural. As before, this violence will be attributed to serial killers, gangs, drug abuse, hallucinations, or errant indie filmmaking. But as newspaper stories stack up, and security and intelligence services learn more and more about what is happening, near and far, in towns with attractive populations of victims (the unsuspecting, the unarmed, the overfed) the facts will be starkly clear: Many undead are among us.”
