Re-animation, the science of bringing dead creatures back to life, is Herbert West’s dream. West tests his secret life-rejuvenating potion on some cooperative corpses at a local morgue. It’s a success! But only a temporary one—as the dead spring to life, reacting violently to their re-animation.

Zombies are loose and now West cannot control the very beasts he has re-created. The born-again dead are unstoppable, even severed body parts take on life like so many split worms! Herbert West has a serious problem—will he become the first in a new breed of headhunters or all of his woes coming to a head?

Re-Animator—an intense book of macabre humor. Based on the screenplay by Dennis Paoli, William J. Norris and Stuart Gordon
