The setting is Denver, Colorado 2004. A young college student named Ashton with a penchant for photography has just snapped a picture in the Lodo District that will change his life forever. His photograph reveals the existence of zombies in current day society. This discovery plunges him directly into the depths of an ancient conspiracy and pits him against forces beyond imagination. Only by unraveling the mystery of the creatures' origin will Ashton have the chance to escape their clutches. But will he learn the truth in time to expose their existence among us, or will they silence him and conceal his knowledge from the public for all time? The Vigil is Jean-Paul Corriveau's homage to the horror genre and proves to be a daring expose of modern day society. Utilizing his signature analytical style of meta-fiction, the author deftly weaves the best of past horror novels and films into his own tale of a zombie apocalypse that the world let pass unnoticed."
