General / Apocalyptic horror novel - DROP DEAD GORGEOUS - available now...
« on: December 07, 2008, 10:29:21 AM »
Hey guys,
As some of you may have heard on the podcast of FTL, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS (my apocalyptic zombie horror novel) is available now!
It isn't *strictly* a libertarian-themed novel. However, the recurring themes of power struggle and human nature in the face of disaster do pop up! Come on - where better to consider a voluntary society in action than during an apocalypse!
Anyway, here's the blurb. I'd love to hear what you guys think of the book - it's available throughout the US at BORDERS/ WALDENBOOKS or from the following list of online sellers (I've tried to incorporate the FTL codes in the AMAZON links - can someone make sure they work okay?):
Wayne Simmons' living dead novel Drop Dead Gorgeous is now available for purchase from many stores including:
* Permuted Press - Free shipping on any 2 or more books!
* Amazon US
* Amazon UK
* Amazon Canada
* Amazon Germany
* Barnes & Noble
* Many Others
As tattoo artist Star begins to ink her first client on a spring Sunday morning, something goes horribly wrong with the world... Belfast's hungover lapse into a deeper sleep than normal, their sudden deaths causing an unholy mess of crashing cars, smoldering televisions and falling aircraft.
In the chaotic aftermath a group of post-apocalyptic survivors search for purpose in a devastated city. Ageing DJ Sean Magee and shifty-eyed Barry Rogan find drunken solace in a hotel bar. Ex-IRA operative Mairead Burns and RIR soldier Roy Beggs form an uneasy alliance to rebuild community life. Elsewhere, a mysterious Preacher Man lures shivering survivors out of the shadows with a promise of redemption.
Choked by the smell of death, Ireland’s remaining few begin the journey toward a new life, fear and desperation giving rise to new tensions and dark old habits. But a new threat--as gorgeous as it is deadly--creeps slowly out of life’s wreckage. Fueled by feral hunger and a thirst for chaos, the corpses of the beautiful are rising…
"Armed with a devilish wit, quirky dialogue, and a unique, palpable flavor, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS provides readers with a fly-on-the-wall view as the shit gloriously hits the fan in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Where's Bono when you need him?"
--Andre Duza, author of DEAD BITCH ARMY
"Intriguing novel from a new emerging talent in the horror genre..."
--Dan Henk (Lone Wolf Tattoo)
"Exciting! A thoroughly original horror story..." --bloodymessygirls.com
"Rough, filthy and completely brilliant..." --Dave Moody, author of HATER and AUTUMN
