Edward Lawrence, a living legend in the entertainment industry, was used to getting the star treatment. An esteemed guest of honor whose autograph was always avidly sought by star-struck fans, he'd traveled to the convention in Rhode Island expecting the usual - hours spent scribbling his signature on photos, answering burning plot questions, and basking in the glow of adoration to which he'd grown accustomed. However, when a patron is stabbed after a verbal altercation with Edward, things quickly take an unforeseen turn. The aging actor is forced to embark on a journey into his own past, while trying to manage the newfound chaos of the present. There is much more to Edward Lawrence than meets the eye, and as his mask slips, it becomes clear that his true persona is far removed from the iconic characters he'd portrayed for decades on stage and screen...

In a city overrun by zombies, Valhalla has become the city's last stand against the undead. Gunfire has replaced calm lobby music, and red carpets by barricades and barbed wire.

Those unlucky few who have faced them and lived bear the very real physical and emotional scars of their experience wrapped up in the sour realization that no one may ever believe them. Still, these men and women walk away with a gift, the ability to look into the darkness and see more than just swirling shadows, and to meet the gaze of the eyes that would look out from the abyss.
