Rot

I’m pleased to say that Skullvines is moving Rot up to publication this summer! So I’m starting to put into action some of the stuff I’ve been doing to promote it. You saw the flyer in my last post. Here’s the query that sold the book (and it also functions as a pretty neat blurb).

Rot is a no-pause, desperation-filled, stand out zombie novelette. There are no Romero flesh eaters here, only anger-driven souls trapped in their bodies against their will by bereaved loved ones who can’t let go. Plus zombie herding. (Zombie milk available by special arrangement only.)

In a world where some people can will away death itself, Silver Springs Specialty Care Community caters to the undead, a safe place to lock risen loved ones away for the people who don’t have the power to control dead, but aren’t quite ready to let go. Dean, retired from the military and looking for an easier life, runs security at the zombie herding farm, but he quickly learns that dark injustice is not unique to war.

There’s a rotten core to Silver Springs. Now Dean and a quickly decaying corpse named Patrick are on the hunt for the woman they both love and lost to a lucrative business that specializes in greed, zombies and never having to say goodbye.
