The Infects by Sean Beaudoin

Scare-a-Thon Giveaway: Dead City by Joe McKinney
If you love zombies, and you haven’t read the post by Joe McKinney that went up earlier this week about his world of zombies, you’re in for a treat, and I thought a giveaway of the first book in his Dead World series, Dead City, would be especially appropriate considering the season (and The Walking Dead premier tonight!).

Oh, and did I mention that Flesh Eaters won the Bram Stoker … Continue reading
