Dead Stop (15 page)
San Francisco after the zombie apocalypse. Vampire-predator turned human-protector Coburn is on the trail his his vampire sire. When he finds him, it is not to catch up on the good times, but take revenge.
Alcatraz. Super-zombies. A ketamine-trip cult of New Age weirdos who eat the flesh of the zombie as some kind of grotesque communion. This is anohther tale from the inimitable Chuck Wendig.
“Thank the good Lord for Abaddon Books... exactly the kind of new spin on zombies I was looking for.”

The Best of Tomes of the Dead
VIKING DEAD
Northern Europe, 976 AD. Bjólf and the Viking crew of the ship
Hrafn
flee up an unknown river after a bitter battle, only to find themselves in a bleak land of pestilence, where the dead return as
draugr
to feed on the flesh of their kin.
Terrible stories are told of a dark castle in a hidden fjord, and of black ships that come raiding with invincible draugr berserkers. And no sooner has Bjólf resolved to leave than the black ships appear...
‘Just to be clear,
Viking Dead
is about Vikings... fighting zombies. And, just to be
completely
clear, it is
awesome
.’

STRONGHOLD
Ranulf, a young English knight, is among the force sent to capture Grogen Castle from Welsh rebels. Even as the English celebrate their triumph, the native druids are summoning a tireless army of bone and raddled flesh in retaliation. Now, for the sake of all, Ranulf must defy his masters and rescue the daughter of his enemy, but hope lasts only so long as the stronghold – once thought impregnable – holds out against the legions of the angry dead...
‘Grounded in historical fact, Stronghold is well researched, action packed, grim and brutal, and great fun.’

DEATH HULK
Orders to chase down the French frigate
Elita
off the Cape of Good Hope come as welcome news to Captain Havelock, stranded with the rest of the fleet at Spithead and waiting for France to initiate hostilities. Here is a chance for glory – and wealth.
Very soon, however, Captain Havelock will come to realise that theirs are not the only two warships in the southern ocean. An enemy thought long since vanquished has risen from the deeps...
‘A swashbuckling tale of horror and honour, like
Pirates of the Caribbean
with an 18 certificate.’
