The Deadland Saga is Rachel Aukes’ post-apocalyptic zombie series, and the work that launched her career. 100 Days in Deadland (2013) made Suspense Magazine’s “Best of the Year” list. The series uses Dante’s Inferno as a loose structural framework, with the zombie apocalypse standing in for the poet’s journey through Hell.

Deadland’s Harvest (2014) and Deadland Rising (2015) continued the story. The Complete Deadland Saga (2015) collected all three novels. The series balances survival horror with character-driven storytelling, following a core group of survivors through increasingly desperate circumstances.
