Bodies on the TV, explosions, barriers, and people fleeing. No access to social media. And a dad who'll suddenly bite your head off—literally. These teens have to learn a new resilience...

Members of a band wield weapons instead of instruments.

A pair of siblings find there's only so much you can joke about when the menace is this strong.

And a couple find depth among the chaos.

Highway Bodies is a unique zombie apocalypse story featuring a range of queer and gender non-conforming teens who have lost their families and friends and can only rely upon each other.
