In Moscow, the sound of bones echoes across Red Square. In America, skeletons patrol the streets of Manhattan and blood stains the cornfields of the Midwest. While in Washington, D. C., Abraham Lincoln is heading for his third term in the White House.

The best-and worst-of humanity are back with a vengenace, a skeletal army hell-bent on conquering the living and uniting the world under the banner of the dead.

Against this bloody backdrop of global horror, a small group of refugees find themselves drawn together by a single vision and a shared fate: to determine whether the last two humans on earth will survive or join the ranks of the newly risen.

Terrifying and outrageous, Skeletons is a roller coaster ride into the fibrillating heart of darkness by one of horror's scariest writers.

The dead have risen. Skeletons fight the living in a global war of dominance, determined to turn anyone who still draws breath. Abraham Lincoln is back in the white house. But which side will win?
This story definitely had some unique factors, and was told from some interesting points of view. It read very much like The Stand but with skeletons, and I enjoyed the first half quite a lot as it has a faster pace and more action. However, the pace became very slow and the story did go off on different tangents, which for me made it less enjoyable in the second half.
