The Living Dead is a zombie horror trilogy by Joseph Souza published between 2012 and 2014. The series begins with The Reawakening, which introduces a world where the dead start coming back to life. It was Souza’s debut and established his voice in the horror genre before he later moved into domestic thrillers.

The trilogy follows a connected storyline across all three books. Darpocalypse (2013) raises the stakes as the outbreak spreads and survivors face harder choices. Darmageddon (2014) brings the story to its conclusion. Souza’s approach to the zombie genre leans more toward survival horror than pure gore, with an emphasis on how ordinary people respond when the world around them falls apart.
