Instead, they awoke hungry, falling in to feed beside the hordes of reanimated humanity.

The bears were hungry and the panther was pacing her cage. It was supposed to be a fun field trip to the zoo. Instead, it turned into a nightmare of blood. The zombie virus spread like wildfire. By noon, they were all alone. Abandoned. Safe inside the fences, a group of school kids are the only survivors.

When Luke McCabe began the restoration of the dusty '58 Cadillac Sixty Special Fleetwoood in his mom's garage, he knew Betty McCabe was keeping a secret. Over the years, she'd sold it off piece-by-piece for almost nothing, and it took him eight years to put it back together with nothing but factory-original parts. Luke never expected his first journey would hurl him into a time-bending nightmare he could not explain, into an era long before he was born. In Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1958, Luke McCabe becomes a sadistic serial killer called "The Cowboy".
