Jonathan Maberry’s Dead of Night
Dead of Night is Maberry’s twisted homage to the zombie genre, sacrificing his characters to appease the zombiephiles. When Jonathan Maberry wrote this novel, he created so much more than your usual characters trying to get from Point A to Point B without being killed; reading Maberry’s story was like being trapped in a labyrinth with the undead — you’re [...]
Roads Less Traveled: The Plan [REVIEW]
I have never heard of C. Dulaney before reading this story; I still don’t know squat about the author, but I am huge fan of Permuted Press, and I’ve enjoyed 95% of the books that they have released. When I was offered the chance to review this new novel, I didn’t realize that it was the first in a series. [...]

Brown has put a modern spin, as well as infected twists, on the Grimm tales. While this mashup could encourage young minds to [...]
Fleshbags: Sickest. Zombies. Ever. By Gerald Dean Rice [INTERVIEW]
Fleshbags is a zombie novella by horror author Gerald Dean Rice. It’s not the first time that he’s written about the undead, but it was still a bit of surprise for me. It was also the grossest piece of fiction I have ever read. Seriously…Fleshbags is only 77 pages, but it took me as long as a 300-page book to [...]
