The Day the Zombies Came Walking up out of the Sea — Steven Mohan Jr.

The smart beachgoing tourist packs plenty of sunscreen, uses a blanket to keep the sand out of his shorts, and always watches when the kids play in the ocean. But how many tourists know what to do when the rotting denizens of Hell come shambling out of the green Pacific? This is the problem for Lincoln City, Oregon, a beachfront town that wakes up one day to find it's been overrun by the undead.
