Bleeding Hearts Vol. 2: Deadbeats

Can a zombie learn to love, or will the apocalypse tear his heart out first?

The hit horror-comedy from Deniz Camp and Stipan Morian continues as Poke discovers that becoming human again may be the most dangerous thing that’s ever happened to him.

Haunted by recent events and struggling with a secret that could get him killed, Poke finds himself seeing the world—and the living—in a completely different way. As unexpected emotions begin to surface, friendships are tested, loyalties are questioned, and a budding romance threatens to expose everything he’s worked to hide. Meanwhile, a ruthless zombie hunter is closing in, bodies are piling up, and the fragile balance between the living and the dead grows more unstable by the day.

Blending horror, romance, dark comedy, and post-apocalyptic adventure, Bleeding Hearts Vol. 2: Deadbeats delivers a fresh and heartfelt take on zombie fiction from the acclaimed creative team of Deniz Camp and Stipan Morian (20th Century Men).
