It’s not often that you find a zombie book, movie, our show in which the characters immediately know and accept they are dealing with zombies. One would think that would make it easier on the characters but if you’re expecting that, you don’t know Iain Rob Wright – Amazon Review

Zombie: A Horror Novel
(The Cursed Manuscripts)

 

On December 21, 2012, according to the Mayan Calendar, the world was supposed to end. It didn’t. But on that day, 113 mysterious manuscripts were discovered around the world, each one written in blood by an unknown author. After several dozen unexplained deaths befell the finders of said manuscripts, a decision was made to lock them up for good in a secret vault beneath the Vatican. It is said that anyone who reads the stories will die, and as such they are now referred to as ‘The Cursed Manuscripts.’

In December 2020, new manuscripts started turning up around the world. ‘Zombie’ was one of them.

MANUSCRIPT ID: 12/20-02 (ZOMBIE).
Details below.

Manuscript 12.20-02, discovered June 2021 in Stoke, United Kingdom, by teenager, Kyle Smith, who found it abandoned on the seat of a bus. Kyle Smith was hit by a car and killed two days later. The following text was found written on an unsent text message found on his phone. There was no recipient.

After a terrible night of arguing, young married couple, Laura and Danny, drive home with their daughter, Rose, asleep in the back seat. Danny is drunk, and shouldn’t be driving at all, but Laura keeps quiet about it. She always keeps quiet. There’s no point making her husband angry. That would only make things worse.

But things are about to get much much worse.

What happens next will put Laura’s strained marriage to the ultimate test as she and Danny find themselves broken down in the middle of the night on a lonely road. Their only hope for survival is to stay inside the car, because there are cannibalistic maniacs outside trying eat them.

If you love dread-filled stories full of scares and new twists on old genres, then ‘Zombie’ is the book you’ve been waiting for. New for 2022. Grab your copy now.

Invasion: Zombie Apocalypse

by

I enjoyed this book right from the start. A lot like many Zombie books however,he had his own way of expressing situations and felt pity and empathy for these poor souls.It wasn’t justn shot em up and get it over with it was speculative and thoughtful. At every turn he could forget about the people he was helping but he wouldn’t just leave them alone to there situations. I truly enjoyed this book and it proves even Zombie hunters have a heart.
Hope you enjoy it also. – Amazon Review

Apocalypse Machine

by

THE HUMAN RACE STARTED THE SIXTH MASS EXTINCTION ON EARTH.

Apocalypse Machine

 

A chain of subglacial volcanoes erupt in Iceland. The melting ice floods the countryside. Poisonous gas descends on Scotland. A tsunami devastates the Norwegian coastline. An ash cloud rises into the atmosphere, blotting out the sun across Europe, ushering in a new Ice Age. Dozens of nuclear power plants, flooded by ocean water, experience meltdowns. Millions perish. Many more are displaced. All on the first day.

On the second day, a series of earthquakes moving in a straight line, reveal the presence of something massive, walking across the landscape. Concealed by a thick, radioactive ash cloud, the ‘aberration’ heads west, toward Russia.

Abraham Wright, a science writer for Modern Scientist, who wants nothing more than to be reunited with his family, finds himself at the center of the United States’ response to the crisis. Under his new title as Assistant Science Advisor to the President, Wright is sent to Europe with a team of Army Rangers, where he uncovers the truth about the ancient behemoth laying waste to the world: there have been five mass extinctions on planet Earth, and the aberration has been present at each.

On the third day, the world fights back.

And loses.

Separated from his family by continents and oceans ravaged by countless disasters and populated by strange new life, Wright struggles to survive in an evolving world. Hoping to uncover the key to mankind’s redemption, he fights for answers, and to reach his loved ones—before the human race’s extinction.
