Xombies: Apocalypticon by Walter Greatshell

xombies-apocalypticon.jpgA man-made plague has turned most of the women on Earth into demonic predators, Xombies, wiping out human civilization. Now a group of refugees aboard a nuclear submarine must dare venture ashore in search of provisions, fellow survivors...and the desperate hope of a cure.

"By far the best horror novel I've read. Hell, I'd check out anything that [Greatshell's] written at this point."  -- Jason Thompson, author of Manga: The Complete Guide

"A triumph, both epic in scope and entirely unpredictable, and anchored by one of the most refreshing and unique voices in modern horror fiction. Expect great things from Mr. Greatshell in the future." -- Nate Kenyon, author of The Bone Factory

He has lived in five countries and worked as a journalist, a radio commentator, an art-theater manager, a graphic artist, an actor, and a submarine technician, but right now he's delighted to be a novelist. Walter presently lives in Rhode Island with his wife, Cindy; his son, Max; and his cat, Reuben. Visit his website: www.waltergreatshell.com
