Many years ago, I read a horror novel and now can't think of the title or the author. I'm hoping someone here might recognize the story and help me recall.
It was a fairly big book and was very much along the lines of The Stand and Swan Song -- most of the population having died as the result of something horrible.
This book was about some virus or something or other that was bringing back everything that was dead. This includes long buried people and even the dinosaurs out of the museums. One bit had the dinosaurs running down 5th Avenue (I think).
One scene in particular stays in mind:
In the ensuing chaos, a group of vigilantes decide to hang a dirty politician. They did, he died, and the mob left. Unfortunately for the politician the virus kept bringing him back to life and then he would hang again and again, dying a horrible suffocating death. This went on and on and on...
Sound familiar to anyone?
