The Beautiful Dead is one of Daryl Banner’s darker series, moving away from his usual romance territory into paranormal horror. The five books, published between 2013 and 2020, deal with the living navigating a world where death isn’t permanent and the undead are part of daily reality.

The series opens with The Beautiful Dead (2013) and builds through Dead Of Winter, Almost Alive, and The Whispers before concluding with Winter’s Doom in 2020. The long gap between the fourth and fifth books suggests the series found enough of an audience to warrant a return after several years away.
