| One year ago, the world came to an
end.
First came the rain.
Then came the screams.
Then came the undead.
The Haven became the only place in
the city free of the walking dead. A place of community. A place to be safe.
Now, things have changed.
The zombies are coming to the
Haven, seeking out the remaining survivors of the human race.
Joe Bailey prowls the Haven’s
streets, taking them back from the undead, each kill one step closer to
reclaiming a life once stolen from him. Billie Friday and Des Nottingham soon
have Joe to thank for their lives.
As the dead push into the Haven,
the trio is forced into the one place where folks fear to tread: the heart of
the city, a place overrun with flesh-eating zombies.
They soon discover they are not
the only humans there. After meeting an old man with a peculiar past, Joe and
the others must make one last stand against the undead or unwillingly meet the
same fate.
A desperate escape leads them to a
place thought impossible to exist and to a discovery that will shake the
future.
Welcome to the end of all things.
“Blood of the Dead isn’t what you think it is. Sure—it starts out as
a zombie jamboree that drags you through Hell on Earth, but then it goes
further . . . a lot further . . . and
takes you straight to Hell and back again. This is the stuff of nightmares,
boys and girls, with some unnerving and frightening action scenes that will
have you on the edge of your seat and haunt your dreams.”
- Rick Hautala, author of
The Wildman and Occasional Demons
"A satisfying addition to the ever-growing zombie subgenre . . .
non-stop action and flesh-eating mayhem . . . Blood of the Dead will be
enjoyed by any zombie fan."
- The Horror Fiction Review
"Frantically paced and never predictable, Blood of the Dead
takes the usual staples of the zombie-genre—blood, guts, guns and action—and
mixes them with the bizarre to create a unique story. It’s a formidable
mix—think Night of the Living Dead with a healthy dash of Dante’s Inferno!
Fuchs leads his cast through a nightmare world filled with relentless pain,
constant fear and never-ending waves of dead flesh, then takes them some place
worse . . . You’ve never read a zombie story like this before!"
- David Moody, author of the Autumn
series
"Talented author A.P. Fuchs has woven a bloody tapestry out of human
flesh, the dark ruins of a decimated earth and the raw fear and uncertainty of
the few remaining survivors. Richly drawn characters face loss, isolation,
hunger and, of course, hordes of the living dead in this post-apocalyptic gem.
Zombie fans will do themselves well by picking up a copy of Blood of the
Dead. Scary, heartbreaking and imaginative, this book sits near the top of
my very short list of zombie favorites. An absolute blast!"
- Gina Ranalli, author of
Chemical
Gardens and Wall of Kiss
"Fuchs presents a hellish apocalypse underneath poisoned skies in Blood
of the Dead. Well drawn characters navigate the very edge of a meat grinder
powered by Fuchs's twisted imagination. The Undead World Trilogy looks
to be a promising addition to the genre."
- Gregory Solis, author of Rise and Walk
