A strange and intriguing novel from first page to last
A hero isn't suppose to wear a black robe and carry a scythe. "Empire" is the story of the Grim Reaper himself and a nasty problem he faces - that legions of undead pervert his duty by not being truly dead. When the government has given up and left cities to the zombie plague, Death tries to right the natural order - but must face other supernatural powers who wish to use the disease for their ...

Permuted Press has done it again
I loved the first Undead collection so when Permuted Press released Skin and Bones the second edition in the Undead Anthology I know it was going to be another great collection. Permuted Press has once again delivered the goods. Skin and Bones is loaded with stories that will satisfy even the most picky Zombie fan. Some of the biggest names in the Zombie genre come together once again and deliver ...

A great read, Kim Paffenroth did it again
I'm going to keep this very short, as i do not want to write a synopsis, but rather give my opinion on the book itself. With the many things the characters face in this book and the way they happen it keeps the reader stuck into this book, not wanting to put it down. If you're a diehard zombie fan, this book appeals to you because of the traditional zombie feel, and the helplessness you feel ...

Well written Zombie Book - With a military angle
I've read a bunch of zombie literature over the years, and I accidentally stumbled across this gem! Written by active military J. Bourne, the book takes the form of a action-packed diary written by a survivor of a zombie plague. Some very interesting plot twists and scenarios, and the fact that it's contemporary, well written and a good read combines to make this a sure classic in the making! ...

Down the Road: A Zombie Horror Story (Special Edition)

A Most Excellent Adenture
Down the Road: A Zombie Horror story is as good as it gets with the idea of a "Hero's Journey." In a time when most zombie stories are concentrated more on the Zombies themselves, Ibarra's story is focussed on this ordinary drama teacher trying to make it back to his ordinary world, under such extraordinary circumstances. The writing is visceral, and he makes you feel like you are a part of the ...

Awesome book
Well worth the price. A creepy horror story that seems the love child of Stephen King and Douglas Adams.

Thunder and Ashes (The Morningstar Strain)

Worth the wait
I really enjoyed this book. While I prefer the classic slow moving zombie, this author has a clever way of having both slow and fast zombies. They're fast while alive & infected and return as shamblers after they die. So you have double the danger as you have to put them down a second time if you didn't get a clean headshot when they were alive. The characters are enjoyable and towards the ...

Can I say wow?
My question above really explains it all. After reading this anthology, all I could think to myself was, wow. It was amazing overall. There were stories that annoyed me (by making me think about them in the middle of the day), and there were stories that were just fun as hell to read. All in all, KP did an excellent job of sorting and building a great book of great authors. Anything else to ...

The Last Day has come...
The prequel to this book did itself good by creating a story that made itself stand out, but with the sequel, the book seems to jut out on the bookshelf with a bloody and violent cover, one that official says, `Do not be alarmed, everything is under control . . .' How's that for drawing somebody into the book? Ibarra makes sure that people read by introducing a lot of interesting characters, ...

The Nuts? I'd say so.....
I loved this book and i can't wait to get the sequel which has just come out and ive ordered and now i'd like to shamelessly plug my own book at the expense of a small quotation on Amazon here in the united states seeing as im from the UK and you know what us Brits are like, we love to blow our own - Please be a good citizen, do wonders for our overseas relationship and buy Deathday by Eugene ...

Bestial: Werewolf Apocalypse

William D. Carl

Permuted Press, 2008

Really exciting!
BESTIAL takes the basic premise that lycanthropy becomes an airborne virus with only a few people whop are immune, and it makes a thrilling read out of it. This is cinematic stuff. I am Legend with werewolves instead of vampires/zombies. It reels from one rip-snorting set piece to the next without so much as pausing for breath. Hollywood take note! Also, there's a real depth of character ...

excellent thriller
Sean always thought he had plenty of time to make something of himself until six weeks ago when the government proclaimed that a meteor was going to strike the earth; best estimates were 60,000 would survive the impact. On his last day of existence, Sean spends it with his beloved Selma, who ended their relationship to start seeing another man before the pandemic collision was announced. ...

A breath of fresh air in the zombie genre!
Iconic. This was the first word that came to mind when I began reading Jason S. Hornsby's new zombie novel Every Sigh, The End (Permuted Press, 2007). Within each decade there are a few special artists of words who possess the ability to intimately capture the soul of their generation, the unspoken rhythm of raw emotion that lies beneath the surface of the defining fashion or politics of the ...

The Undead: Headshot Quartet (Four Zombie Novellas)

Permuted Press, 2008

Four for fighting
The latest installment of the Undead anthologies consists of four novellas that take us in four new directions for loads of zombie fun. While each story is unique, at least three of them have anywhere from a scent to a full blown flavor of HP Lovecraft. I loved reading Lovecraft years ago and Million Dollar Money Shot in particular ties in well with the whole Lovecraftian Mythos. I felt that ...

Permuted Press, 2005

A great and relevant collection of scenario based horrorr
Eric S. Brown's storys, once you get used to their format, are intriguing and insightful. His stories are usually short, some just one and half pages, and that took some getting used to on my part. After reading the first half of the book I was a little bit mad. many of the stories could have been expanded into novellas or novels or movies or ANYTHING. He just gives you a taste of a world so ...

Exceeded my expectations!
What a rare find! I went into reading this not really knowing what to expect. This was my first "non-zombie" novel to read from Permuted Press. So, I was skeptical. I ended up thoroughly enjoying it and having a really hard time putting it down! I did feel kinda dorky realizing that I "got" a lot of the nerdy pop culture references! This book is really a fun, perky read. Yes, it is about the end ...

The Undead: Flesh Feast (Zombie Anthology)

Permuted Press, 2007

A pleasent surprise
I was a big fan of the first book, and felt the sequel was a huge drop in overall quality. To be sure, it had a lot of good. But the good was always mixed evenly with equally lackluster stories. The third time proves to be the charm, as the stories in flesh feast have an overall quality very near that of the first.

Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines

D.L. Snell

Permuted Press, 2007

Rich in word-play but stands out from the crowd...
[...] Here's a choice clip from the review: 'Roses Of Blood On Barbwire Vines is an excellent debut from a promising horror writer. Its mixing of genres will appeal to many, yet confuse others. Fans of character-driven horror may find the vamps a little two-dimensional (and brutal) to really root for, and, with a shortfall in humans to get your identifiable teeth into (GROAN!), Roses may ...

Zombi-fied!!
I really liked this book. There were a couple of stories I didn't care for, but it really scratched that itch I have for the zombie genre. There needs to be more of these!

Fear the Twilight
Twilight of the Dead takes five years after the initial outbreak of the zombie plague, and it is told through the view of a young woman named Courtney. Courtney is a sad person who is depressed at the loss of her father and the fact that her life has been ruined by the dead corpses that have now taken over the world, and this is what makes Courtney such an interesting character. Unlike the big, ...
