The fourth in legendary George A. Romero's Living Dead series ( Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, and succeeded by Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead). Some years after the zombie apocalypse, the scattered remnants of human civilization have reorganized enough to establish a chain of protected city-states across America. One such sanctuary is concentrated within the triangular peninsula of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which contains a feudal-like government. Bordered on two sides by rivers and barricaded on the third with an electrified fence guarded by a militia, the city has become a haven in which its citizens live in relative security. Outside the city's barriers is a no-man's-land of barren countryside and dilapidated suburban towns long deserted by living humans but overrun with legions of the dead - and the dead are massing for an all-out assault. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/dawn-dead-george-romero-susanna-sparrow/ -

Years ago, Henry Hamilton saved a young orphan girl, Edith, from an Italian orphanage at the request of his long-deceased brother. Now, at the lush Evenswood estate in Concord, Massachusetts, Edith lives as the paid companion to the Hamilton's daughter Amy, although they regard Edith as one of their own and Amy's prized friend and confidante.
