Summary: With rumors indicating a safe haven exists in the East, Danielle Adelman leads a band of the living through the Midwest in a dying world overrun by intellectually evolving zombies while trying to protect her zombie-bitten sister. Billions died and rose again, hungry for human flesh. When the nightmare reached Sheriff Danielle Adelman's small mountain community of Forest Peak, California, it was too late for warnings...forcing her to lead a small group of survivors out of hell, all the while seeking her estranged runaway sister at any cost. Two years later, the undead have evolved. Now, besides the shambling, mindless cannibals are the hunters--cunning and fast, like wolves--and the thinkers, whose shocking intel­ligence and single-minded predatory obsession may mean the downfall of what's left of humanity. As Danny leads a ragtag band of the living through the remnants of the American Midwest, rumors arise of a safe place somewhere east. But the closer they get to it, the more certain Danny becomes that something evil waits for them at the end of the line. With an unspeakable secret riding beside her and an unbreakable promise made to a small, silent boy, Danny must stake everything she has--her leadership, her sanity, and her life--in order to defeat the ultimate horror in a terrifying and dying world.

Summary: This is the story of Iceberg Slim's life, as he saw, felt, tasted, and smelled it. A trip through hell by the one man who lived to tell the tale. The dangers of jail, addiction and death that are still all too familiar. "[In Pimp], Iceberg Slim breaks down some of the coldest, capitalist concepts I've ever heard in my life."--Dave Chappelle, from his Netflix special The Bird Revelation. An immersive experience unlike anything before it, Pimp is the classic hustler's tale that never seems to go out of style.

Groundbreaking for its authentic and oft-brutal account of the sex trade, the book offers readers an unforgettable look at the mores of Chicago's street life during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. In the preface, Slim says it best, "In this book, I will take you, the reader, with me into the secret inner world of the pimp." With millions of copies sold, Pimp has become vital reading across generations of writers, entertainers and filmmakers alike, making it a timeless piece of American literature.
