Summary: Revelation
Review: This book has great deal to say. The back cover realy sums it up best murderous theological fantasy, indead an epic vision of damnation and redemption, supercharged with mayhem, terror and old-time religion. If you are interested in End Times Prophecies or if your a Christian and have ever read the BIBLE specificaly The book of Revelations. You will reconize the utlimate good vs evil tale. I have read at least 8 Mark Rodgers books and this is Truly a great one.
To quote Thomas of Celano, Mass for the Dead
Horror of nature, hell, and death!
When a deep groan from beneath
Shall cry "we come, we come," and all
The caves of night answer one call.
WOW

Summary: Not your innocuous Christian fiction!
Review: This is a great book- The characterization is uncommonly sharp, the philosophical dialogue is astute and funny, and best of all, it's REALLY REALLY SCARY! These zombies are the velociraptors of the living dead world, fast, intelligent, and utterly nasty AND if that wasn't enough, we also get wolves made of bones and...a New Jersey State Trooper. Highly recommended for anyone who likes their hardcore theological discourse liberally spiked with shredded flesh. :)

Summary: Very good scare!
Review: This is one of the best books I've read in quite a while. The storyline, the idea, and the images provoked were truly disturbing. And the pace was spectacular -- I can see how this could easily be made into a movie (as it's rumored to be underway.)If you're looking for a fast-paced, thought provoking, yet easily entertaining scare -- get this book. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: A matter of eternal life and death!
Review: The Dead starts with a bang and hangs onto you like a zombie with its jaws set firmly in your neck hungering for not just your brains, but your immortal soul as well. This is no standard running away from lumbering, soporific corpses but a world that has gone mad in the grip of Legion and his rapidly growing whirlwind army of the undead bent on taking as many souls to Hell with them as they can in a spate of vengeful fury. This book not only provides you with the kick"butt" thrills and chills of a living dead/last-stand scenario but adds a hefty dose of well-thought out philosophy as well. Furious gun battles and a run for survival are interspersed amongst images of life and death debates with members of the living dead that are not soon to be forgotten. I will leave it to you to decide which of these moments provide the most harrowing moments in this novel. Written with a good eye for the New Jersey countryside and vivid images of a world that is rapidly dying (the metal maggots is one of my favorites!), The Dead will leave you with indelible visions of Earth and Man's last days as the survivors realize that the end of the world and Judgment is at hand. I read this in two days and immediately turned around and read it again for I found I had read it so rapidly and was so drawn into the excitement and fates of the characters that I had sped through some of the books most salient philosophical and theological points and wanted go back and savor those on their own. It is virtually like getting two books for the price of one. Mark Rogers has delivered The Screwtape Letters a la Peter Jackson at his most demented! This is an excellent example of the quintessential page-turner that is so often ballyhooed on book sites. This is the real thing!

Summary: One of the worst books I've ever read
Review: Sorry, I have to depart from the general consensus and say that, as a writer myself, this book was awful. Aside from the stereotypical depictions of women being creatures of bovine stupidity, the typographical errors on EVERY single page were outrageous, all the characters were completely one-dimensional, and the ending was utter garbage. This was neither scary nor thought-provoking, but laughable at best. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is that the concept was a good idea. It was, however, very badly carried out. I have not read anything else by Mark E. Rogers, and judging from this I probably never will.

Summary: A must read.
Review: When I first picked up "The Dead" I was mainly expecting the normal run of the mill zombie story that I have read many times before but to my pleasant surprize "The Dead" is a totally unique and terrifying tale that you surely will not be able to put down.A must read for any fan of macabre.

Summary: Damn, I hope they make the movie!
Review: Word is there's a movie of this one in the works---that would suit me just fine. Extremely cinematic and flat-out creepy---just when you thought Rogers couldn't top the scene at the beach, you get the one at the gym, and then, nastiest of all, the one at the mudflat, which has got to be one of the all-time greats...then there's the whole matter of Legion, the demonically-possessed New Jersey State Trooper...if you're looking for apocalyptic terror, don't bother with week-kneed stuff like Left Behind...Go straight for The Dead. They'd go straight for you.

Summary: The Dead is an exciting read
Review: I was very impressed with The Dead by Mark E. Rogers. It is a great horror story, a great adventure story and has characters that you really care about. In one book, it accomplishes more than the "Left Behind" series does in several. It combines a backdrop of people who are not raptured away and throws in living dead that make George Romero's zombies look dull. We find out why these people were not taken away and what they can do about it. We also get terrifying living dead and some interesting philosophy, too. The book also has a sense of humor. It has everything. Buy it!

Summary: Why aren't there 6 Stars?!
Review: I initially read this book when it came out 11 years ago and it scared me half to death. I read it again last month and it freaked me out even more! "The Dead" takes terror to a whole new level... Talk about having the writer "inside your mind". It's as though Rogers finds your deepest fears and drags them into the light. THIS IS A MUST FOR ANY HORROR FAN!! Sleep with the lights on!
