Cemetery Kids Don't Die Vol 2: Run Rabid Format: Paperback

Log in and lose your mind!

One year ago, four friends escaped the unrelenting terror of the video game called Nightmare Cemetery. After spending endless hours locked into the innovative Dreamwave—the first gaming console played entirely while you sleep—in order to save one of their own from the game’s all-too-real consequences, they survived . . . barely.

But after their harrowing rescue, they’ve decided they’ve had enough of Nightmare Cemetery and its enigmatic final boss, the King of Sleep. That is, until the newest DLC, The Blighted Sprawl, suddenly appears online with a promise to reveal the truth of what actually lurks at the heart of Nightmare Cemetery's digital darkness . . . and why its effects are now bleeding out into the real world in an array of bizarre and disturbing new ways.

From writer Zac Thompson (Into the Unbeing) and illustrator Daniel Irizarri (Judge Dread, XINO) comes the next chilling chapter of cybernetic horror with Cemetery Kids Run Rabid.
