Birth of a Nation: Book Five of the Abyss Walker by Shane Moore
Trinidy marches his army of death across the land, forcing each kill to rise up and join his ranks. Arch devils are unleashed to hunt down the Abyss Walker.
While Lance and his friends struggle to stay one step ahead, the greyshalks and the Darayal Legion prepare for a battle they cannot win.
Meanwhile, the people of Beykla, now under the disputatious rule of boy king, brace themselves as their distrustful southern brothers secede to create a new nation.
As the prophecy reaches fulfillment, Delania must face the growing realization that her time with Lance is coming to an end.
Can the broken crown of Beykla stand against the coming of the Abyss Walker, or will the blood of the innocent be shed before the might of wickedness?
Book Five also introduces a new character, Petrovisk, based on Shane’s good friend, Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca from Star Wars).

Fear the Woods by Jerrod Balzer
As you walk through the forest surrounding Tapperville, you may get the feeling you’re being watched.
It could be the escaped serial killer, who manipulates his victims with macabre creativity. It could also be the ghosts haunting a forgotten cemetery. It might even be one of the locals, drunk and armed as they seek vengeance for their horribly mutilated loved ones.
It could be any of those things, and you’d be lucky if it was,but as you pass by each tree, be cautious.
The branch that brushed your shoulders might grab you.
It could wrap around you and pull you to pieces.
A root could shoot from the ground and impale you.
Worse yet, one of the vampires whose spirits dwell within the trees could bust from its shell of bark and chase you in its grotesque human form. Once a member of the Oak Clan has a thirst for you, it will stalk you each night until it has you in its wooden grasp.

Rot by Michele Lee
Zombies Can Be Such a Burden
So you’ve raised your loved ones from the dead, but had no idea how difficult it would be to care for them.
No problem! Silver Springs is a warm, peaceful facility equipped to handle all your zombie needs. Their friendly staff will ensure they have a safe environment with daily exercise and raw meat.
Rest easy knowing they’re in good hands… as they rot.
In Michele Lee’s Rot, you won’t find an apocalypse or Romero-style flesh-eaters. This is far more disturbing.
In a world where certain people can will others back from death, Silver Springs Specialty Care Community caters to the undead for those who aren’t quite ready to let go (zombie milk available by special arrangement at the home office).
Dean, retired from the military and looking for an easier life, runs security at this zombie herding farm, but he 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 a woman they both love and lost to a lucrative business that specializes in greed, zombies and never having to say goodbye.
Cover art by Mark McLaughlin with haunting interior artwork by Mechelle Sizemore.
