Following in the footsteps of the New York Times best-selling graphic novels and the record-breaking new television show, this debut novel in a trilogy of original Walking Dead books chronicles the back story of the comic book series greatest villain, The Governor.

By understanding the psychological forces that drive The Walking Dead's action, fans can better grasp Robert Kirkman's compelling fictional universe. Which characters suffer PTSD, which show the most hope for recovery, and which instead show post-traumatic growth? Has Rick Grimes lost his mind? In 19 chapters from a range of esteemed contributors, The Walking Dead Psychology: Psych of the Living Dead answers these and many other questions.

Die Apokalypse ist über die Menschheit hereingebrochen, und die Toten machen Jagd auf die Lebenden. Im harten Überlebenskampf zählt nur Stärke oder Gemeinschaft. So wie in der Siedlung Woodbury, wo der Governor ein hartes, aber effizientes Regime errichtet hat. Als sich die junge Lilly Caul gerade noch so nach Woodbury retten kann, glaubt sie zunächst, sie sei im Paradies - bis sie eine furchtbare Entdeckung macht: In diesem Paradies herrscht ein Teufel, und er kennt keine Gnade.

Lilly Caul has risked everything. She has weathered over four years of the apocalypse. She has done things that she would not have dreamt of doing in her darkest nightmares. But she has survived. And now, she has staked a claim in the plague-ravaged city of Atlanta. It is a safe haven for her people, rising high above the walker-ridden streets, a place of warmth and comfort. But for Lilly Caul, something is missing.... She still dreams of her former home - the quaint little village known as Woodbury - a place of heartache as well as hope.
