Not Enough to Live By

From the author of THE HORDE TRILOGY comes a tale during the early days of a zombie apocalypse. A devoted husband tries to keep his wife alive after she says she doesn’t want to live when the undead quickly populate the Earth. It was Tuesday. Reports of zombies bombarded the news channels, crashed the internet, and created a worldwide panic. Within weeks, streets are littered with the slow-moving undead and the occasional survivor scavenging for food. But for David, a bigger struggle is happening inside his house. His wife Nadine refuses to live in a world controlled by creatures motivated by one thing: flesh. She wants to die, and makes no effort to hide her desire. Now David must ensure that their home is safe, they have enough supplies, and Nadine doesn't try to kill herself when he's gone. Nadine's become lethargic, her only solace an armchair facing their front door. But no matter if she looks peaceful or content, David is sure she's ready to bolt from the house and be annihilated by zombies. There's hope they'll be able to move to a Safe Zone soon, but David isn't sure Nadine is willing to go. Not even for him. IN A WORLD FULL OF ZOMBIES, LOVE CAN SAVE ANYONE. Praise for Gregory M. Thompson's writing: For GRANDMOTHER: "Visiting grandmother's house was never like this! Dive in...if you dare!" (John Everson, Bram Stoker Award-winning author). For GRANDMOTHER: "Grandmother plumbs the depths of the evil that can run in families...and doesn't pull up on the plumb line even when you kind of wish the author would! Grandmother is sure to connect with horror fans of all strips." (Scott Kenemore, author of ZOMBIE, ILLINOIS and ZOMBIE, OHIO, and ZOMBIE, INDIANA.) For HORDE: "I liked the way they end up fighting the zombies. It's something that I had not seen yet." (Reader review, Amazon.) For NIGHTCRY: "I really enjoyed it, he writes with a style that is unique, grotesque, and fascinating." (Reader review, Amazon.)
