By an author which has many anthologies,
short stories, novels, comic books, and young adult books all coming out
at what seems to be at the same time, Jonathan Maberry's
latest novel with a title that sounds as if it is that of an old black
and white film noir was released just in time for Halloween on October
25th, 2011. Dead of Night, a thrilling and compelling zombie plague
story, is much more than the generic sounding title that it is called.
When a serial killer is executed at a
Pennsylvania maximum security prison, unbeknownst to some, the body is
claimed by an unknown relative from a rural south eastern county of the
commonwealth. Reporter Billy Trout starts an investigation on what
could be a significant story that eventually turns into much more than
he ever expected. As his findings turn into shock, police officers JT
Hammond and Desdemona Fox are called to what appears to be a routine
break in at the local mortuary and funeral parlor. When what they
discover is actually a major crime scene, they are forced into a life
and death scenario that suddenly turns into something way over their pay
grade.
Co-hosts Chris and Philip discuss the next
novel that should be on your reading agenda. Zombie fans will be
delighted while those who are all zombied out will be encouraged by a
new spin on a subgenre that needs a fresh take. Afterwards, we have a
number of interviews. Eric S. Brown,
author of many zombie, werewolf, and sasquatch books, is interviewed
about his works and his December 2011 release A Pack of Wolves. An
author from North Carolina, Eric has dabbled within the science fiction
and horror genres with such titles as the Bigfoot Wars. Next up is
comic book writer and creator Everett Soares of the graphic novel series
Sky Pirates of Valendor. Lastly we have director Mike Neel who discusses his movies Drive In Horror Show and Infinite Santa.
