Dead Boys
Despre această carte audio
A TOWN ON THE EDGE OF THE UNKNOWN.
A WOMAN ON THE BRINK OF SANITY.
A DARKNESS THAT WILL NOT BE CONTAINED.
On a quiet Halloween night in 1957, Jimmy Ray Barton and his pregnant wife, Sharon Rose, encounter something beyond their comprehension—a glowing green cloud that drags their truck off the road and sets off a horrifying chain of events. By morning, Jimmy Ray is dead, Sharon’s memories are shattered, and her sanity hangs by a thread. Was it an accident, a crime of passion, or the work of something otherworldly?
But Sharon isn’t the only one in Clairton, Pennsylvania, struggling against the darkness. Jack Russell, a young runaway fleeing his abusive father, stumbles upon a gruesome discovery deep in the woods: the bodies of his friends, their corpses grotesquely preserved under glass. Stranded and feverish, Jack falls into the care of Mason Gingrich, a mysterious recluse with ties to the unexplainable and a sinister connection to the green cloud.
Detectives Jerry Campion and Chela Stack face a baffling investigation where every lead pushes the limits of belief. Is Sharon a grieving widow or a cold-blooded killer? Is Jack’s terrifying discovery the result of local horrors or something far more chilling? As the pieces come together, an unspeakable truth begins to surface—a truth that threatens not only the lives of those involved but the very fabric of human understanding.
From John A. Russo, the co-creator of Night of the Living Dead, comes a pulse-pounding tale of alien menace, psychological terror, and the fragility of reality. Dead Boys is a masterful blend of horror and suspense that will leave you questioning everything you think you know about fear, family, and the unknown.
The truth is out there. But it’s not what you think.

With 40 books published internationally and 19 movies in worldwide distribution, John Russo has been called “a Living Legend.” He began by co-authoring the screenplay for the horror classic, Night of the Living Dead, and went on to build an iconic decades-long career.
His books on the art and craft of movie making have become bibles of independent production and have won a national award for Superior Nonfiction. Quentin Tarantino and many other noted filmmakers have stated that Russo’s books have helped them launch their careers.
John Russo wants people to know he’s “just a nice guy who likes to scare people” -- and he’s done it with novels and films such as Return of the Living Dead, Midnight, The Majorettes, The Awakening, Heartstopper, and My Uncle John is a Zombie!
He’s had a long, rewarding career, and he shows no signs of slowing down. In 2024, Lionsgate acquired a Western written by him, The Night They Came Home, about the murder spree perpetrated by the Rufus Buck gang, who were all hanged in 1895.
Russo’s popularity among genre fans remains at a high pitch. He appears at many movie conventions each year as a featured guest, and hundreds of attendees come to his tables or to the bar to share drinks, jokes, and serious conversation.
