Book Description
“The history of the Old West written in blood and laced with dark humor, all set against a backdrop of ancient evil and a struggle for survival….You’re in for the ride of your life.” —James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Colony Already a New York Times bestselling author for his satiric, gore-soaked “songbooks” (It’s Beginning to Look a Lot like Zombies; Every Zombie Eats Somebody Sometime), author Michael P. Spradlin now dons a different hat and gallops hell for leather into a darker, wilder West. Blood Riders is the story of Civil War veteran Jonas R. Hollister, who’s recruited by the U.S. government to hunt down and destroy an ancient tribe of vampires that is terrorizing the frontier territories. An ingenious mash-up of western and dark fantasy—with an intriguing touch of American steampunk weaponry thrown in for good measure—Spradlin’s Blood Riders has Hollister joining up with real-life historical figures Samuel Colt and Alan Pinkerton and one of horror literature’s most famous monster hunters (Abraham Van Helsing from Bram Stoker’s Dracula) to rid the West of the undead scourge once and for all.

Book Description
A profoundly creepy and highly original vampire story set in the Wild West from internationally acclaimed actor Gary Oldman and award-winning producer Douglas Urbanski. Once a prosperous and lively town, now, in 1882, Echo Basin’s best days are behind it. In the early days of Echo Basin’s founding, a young boy slips out of town to play in what he thinks is a cave, but what is in reality an abandoned mineshaft…and he’s not alone in there. Searching desperately for an escape, he comes upon a large, ornate box that opens to reveal a dusty and withered corpse, impaled on a stake. Despite his terror, he wrenches the stake from the body’s heart and uses it to pry at the rocks blocking his exit. Just as he is about to clear a hole wide enough to squeeze through, he hears a dry rattle, a cough, and the creaking of ancient bones behind him. “Boy,” says the man in the coffin, “Where am I?” The boy panics and throws himself into the opening he’s made, barely managing to squeeze free. But when he reemerges, he finds himself in a different town, twenty years later, and soon learns that he was given up for dead almost two decades ago. Thus begins the journey of Magnus Blackwell, who rises from his coffin to join the community of Echo Basin. By day he is a gentleman, a seemingly civic-minded and active member of the community. By night he is a hunter, an adventurer…and a vampire. With a vibrant new twist on an iconic story, Blood Riders is the chilling tale of a ghost town with an unnerving history, a mysterious voodoo curse, and a compelling hero who is deeply human, deeply conflicted, and deeply original.

Book Description
The zombies are here. An accidental outbreak of a mutated virus unleashes hundreds of the undead on the sleepy town of Flat Rock, Nevada. Now, Sheriff Penny Miller must use her wits, grit, and damn near all of her ammunition to endure the arrival of zombies. Sheriff Miller quickly finds herself leading a vicious biker named Scratch, her ex-husband Terrill Lee, and a unit of incompetent National Guardsmen to safety. At their heels is Colonel Sanchez, the wicked Army commander who is pursuing Miller to gain the special powers the virus has given her. With a gang of murderous bikers on their tail and surrounded by slobbering hordes, Sheriff Miller must do what she does best: Aim for the brain! "THE HUNGRY is a zombie thriller loaded with sex and smarts. A real nail-biter that brings a new weapon to bear in apocalyptic fiction: Hope. Highly recommended." —Jonathan Maberry, NYT Times bestselling author of Dust & Decay and Dead of Night “If you’re craving an apocalyptic horror novel that’s not just wall-to-wall action but balls-to-the-wall intense, Steven W. Booth and Harry Shannon have cooked up a real treat for you. I would say The Hungry will leave you totally satisfied, but that’s not true: Readers will be howling for more more more MORE just like the hordes of insatiable zombies rampaging through this book.” —Steve Hockensmith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls "You don't know what gut-churning page-flipping horror really is until you read this one. The Hungry combines the storytelling power of the big commercial thriller with many new twists on standard zombie fiction. A real winner." —Ed Gorman, author of The Dark Fantastic and Cage of Night "From the opening line, I loved it. I loved how complete it felt. It had so many great elements working for it - the small town setting; the two powerful main characters, as different as they could be, nearly every word between them charged with sexual tension; the satisfying stalemate as neither one gets exactly what they want, but rather what they need. A great story, and for a zombie fan like me, it pressed all the right buttons." —From the Introduction by Joe McKinney, author of Dead City and Flesh Eaters
