Jay wakes up dead - obviously murdered - and discovers that everything the agency told him about becoming a zombie was a lie. He wants to forget his former life and get on with his new reality, but he can't seem to stop his old memories flooding back or his new instincts kicking in or the other zombies from following him. This revenge is happening.

“Now, while you may think you’re a zombie expert, let me tell you that Ten of Swords spins the zombie genre on its head... Take that ingenuity along with incredible world building, the astute dialogue by the lead zombies, a timeless blues soundtrack, a buzzing and disorientating sound design, and endlessly thought-provoking societal and mortality themes, and you’ve got the kick-ass Ten of Swords that is going to leave you wanting more. ”
— Jennifer Trudging, Bloodletter Magazine

I also realised it will be the 15th anniversary of Strigoi’s release next year! #vampires #romania #strigoi
