   Permuted Press has announced that Z.A.Recht, author of Plague of the Dead and Thunder and Ashes, has died.

   This is shocking, horrible news. I never had the pleasure of meeting Z in person, but I talked to him by email as recently as last month. He seemed like a genuinely good guy – polite, funny and enthusiastic about all things zombie. Plague of the Dead has been picked up as part of a deal between Permuted and Pocket Books and is due to be re-released later this month. Such a shame that Z won’t be here to see it.

   My sincere condolences go out to his family and friends at this terrible time.

   A very sad loss of both a talented author and really nice guy. My thoughts go to his family. A real shame.

   That is so sad, his books are brilliant, classics of the genre with so much more still to add.

   I'm really sorry to hear this, I loved Plague of the Dead and the sequel Thunder and Ashes. I was really looking forward to the final installment too.
   He was a talented writer who really drew in his audience and made them care about the characters and drew vivid pictures of life after the shit hit the fan.
   He will be missed.

   I think another author has finished off the draft, currently it is just getting approval from the family and then will be published.
   Hopefully it wont take too long!

    I've just ordered this from Waterstones. Judging by the reviews and comments, I'm in for a good read.
