Down the Road: A Zombie Horror Story

From his small apartment in Austin, Texas, George Zaragosa watches in awe as surreal reports of a bizarre plague flood the national news. Until today, his life as a local theater teacher was stable and ordinary, if overshadowed by the unsolved murder of his beautiful fiancée. Now, hearing how those who died from an unstoppable virus are coming back to life in growing numbers, George knows what he has to do: leave everything behind in the city and get home to San Uvalde, just down the road. It began in New York City, when the dead arose from the hospitals and morgues, attacking the living and pulling them into their growing hordes. State by state, the nation goes into lockdown, whole cities and towns fight for survival, and George must navigate military roadblocks, FEMA camps, and street thugs to make it home. But most of all, his journey down the road will require him to stave off the horrifying creatures hungering for his flesh. . . .

David Moody, author of Hater

“Shocking and disturbing. . . . This is pulp zombie fiction at its best.”

David Moody, author of Hater

“Violent and relentless . . . filled with nightmarish images . . . a snapshot of a world gone mad.”

John Hubbard, co-author of Wandering Flesh and contributor to The Undead Zombie Anthology

“Nihilistic, tragic, oversexed, and in many ways touching. . . . A real winner.”

Brian Keene, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rising and City of the Dead

"I enjoyed [Down the Road] very much... It's a helluva opening shot, and I look forward to more."
