The zombie community was shocked back in December 2009 when Z A Recht – author of Plague of the Dead and its sequel Thunder and Ashes – passed away unexpectedly. I’d only been corresponding with Z a week or so earlier, and his death shook me to the core. I was really pleased, therefore, when [...]
A belated plug for Craig’s latest book, THE KILLING FLOOR, sequel to last year’s THE INFECTION. “The mystery virus struck down millions.

As the world lurched toward the apocalypse, some of the Infected continued to change, transforming into horrific monsters. America’s [...]
I’m sure plenty of you are aware of James Melzer. He’s the evil genius behind the Unleashed podcast, and the author of ESCAPE – the first book in a new trilogy of zombie novels coming later this year from Permuted Press and Pocket Books. James got in touch with me a while back and invited [...]

I was honoured to be asked to write an introduction to the book, and you can see my endorsement [...]
James Melzer, author of The Zombie Chronicles (coming from Permuted Press and Pocket Books in 2010), recently interviewed me for his regular Unleashed podcast. You can listen to the interview here. Cheers James!

There are no outbreak tales here, instead we’re presented with 18 vastly different visions of a world where we’re forced to live alongside the undead. I’ve worked my way through more than my [...]
If you’ve already read HATER, you might remember the first scene which involves a very nasty attack by a character called Simmons.
