The Dying of the Light (Book 3): Beginning (64 page)
More from Jason Kristopher
In the best-selling zombie series
The Dying of the Light
, author Jason Kristopher showed us that the zombie apocalypse isn’t coming—it’s already here, and we're losing.
In this collection of supplemental short stories, Kristopher takes the reader on a behind-the-scenes journey into the rest of the world he’s created in the main series. From the first known zombie incursion (
Outbreak One: Washington Territory
), to Nazi-created monstrosities (
The Coldest Winter
), through the 1981 Libyan Crisis (
Blood and Sand
) and to the story of what befell one of our favorite characters (
Whatever Happened to Thomas J. Reynolds?
). Get your fix for more zombie goodness now!
Classic science fiction, age-old mythology, near-future horror, and epic fantasy. Short stories to fit any taste, but be warned—they’ll leave you wanting more!

Renowned horror writer Gavin Curtis is in a rut until he stumbles upon a mysterious typewriter, a forbidden antique that ignites boundless inspiration within him. But everything has its price, and he will soon discover that his talent, charm, wealth, and fame are no match for the ruthless evil that he's unleashed. Pitted against a destructive entity from another realm, he races against time to save himself and those he loves.
From author George Wright Padgett comes an unsettling story where dreams can come true, but so can the nightmares.
It’s 2034, and Phoebe Bernhart is a nurse in a neuro ward in Atlanta when her youngest brother becomes one of the first victims of a bizarre epidemic of aggression and paranoia.
When Phoebe suspects a technological cause, her strange, beautiful, antisocial new acquaintance, Mila Bremer, a software engineer, agrees to help.
In the end, Mila may be part of the cure—or she may be the cause. Or maybe she’ll just prove to be indifferent to the fates of thousands of people, including Phoebe's brother.
