Scott, Warren, and Missy Walsh did not understand what their roles were to be when the omnipresent light first blinked on. They believed their only obligation was to find a safe place for their small family to escape what was happening all around them. But fate would not allow them to hide away in the North Carolina cabin for long. Now, with their number hovering near a dozen survivors, they must work together - along with Koku, the flawed, self-aware goddess with a long-term memory problem - to preserve Earth for humanity's occupation.

Dan Foster's world is in chaos. His escape to his brother's farm wasn't enough to keep his family safe from the ravenous zombie hordes. Now on the road once again, he struggles with the guilt of his inaction that cost him dearly. As Dan tries to put the pieces of his life back together, he must confront a sadistic evil that has risen amongst the remnants of society.

At a time when mankind should have been reaching for the future, life devolved into a nearly apocalyptic present, pitting neighbor against neighbor and nation against nation as three different viruses ravaged the population. Civil wars reduced the world population even more. Then came the asteroid Wormwood, and everything changed. Man did what nobody expected...they pulled together and worked to save the planet and themselves. Years after the space rock did its damage, people began to change. Old tensions were brought back as those afflicted were targeted by the fearful.

Three terrifying viruses threatened the world. Race wars devolved into bloody civil wars. Just when man was about to exterminate himself, the asteroid Wormwood appeared and nearly finished the job. Rather than suffer a slow death, mankind pooled their resources and fought back to save the planet, and themselves. Once the dust settled, a new plague appeared. One that brought back old tensions and pitted brother against brother as people began to change. Old tensions arose as those afflicted were targeted by the fearful.

The sirens blare. The searchlights scan the grounds of Douglass Branch Penitentiary, but brutal serial killer Waylon Prichard is gone. Austin Branch, the namesake of the prison's founder and trained tracker, pursues the killer, but soon discovers an impossible phenomenon that will make his pursuit of Prichard more difficult—and far more dangerous.

When the apocalypse happens only one thing matters...family. From the author of the wildly successful debut novel Family Reunion, P. Mark DeBryan, comes a new and terrifying Apocalypse Family novel. The South African flu had put the fear of God into the world. But the press and the government assured all that a revolutionary nanovaccine had stopped the outbreak in its tracks. The vaccine had stopped the flu, yes. But two weeks later a strange and deadly side effect became apparent, a side effect worse than the flu - far, far worse.

When a single mother and her two daughters mysteriously come into possession of a haunted antique doll, they could never imagine how their lives will deteriorate into a terrifying maelstrom of extreme horror, blood, and gore.

The 21st century brought more plagues to mankind than any other time in history. Some were manufactured by man, others were acts of God. Even Mother Nature herself turned against the infestation known as man. Nearly 30 percent of the population was killed by new virus strains. Racial tensions flared and evolved into two civil wars.

In a world overrun by rabid, naked, blue zombies, feeding on the flesh of all, a glimmering jewel of humanity endures. The Island of Guntersville has become a hopeful paradise for the survivors of the plague that ravages the land. Follow Mo, Smokes, Easy, and the rest of his band of misfits - oh, and a ninja monkey - on their replica pirate ship, the Viva Ancora, as they set off on a wild blue adventure in search of "the cure".

In order to release a reading of the Declaration of Independence in audiobook format, the original founding document written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776 and adopted by the second Continental Congress, it was necessary to also create a short book to go along with it. We felt it was worth the effort—early listeners of our audiobook presentation have been very favorable, so we felt it was a worthy venture.

In 1693, in a small village in Massachusetts, five witches are burned at the stake. Four are pure and kind-hearted, using their powers only for good; their murders are a travesty. The last witch is an evil warlock named Murdock Vickar. As Vickar burns, he casts an evil curse, enabling him to return from death again and again. In present day, in the peaceful seaside village of Laguna Beach California, the witches rise yet again.

But is it possible for anything - even werewolves - to stop the zombie apocalypse? Valerie barely survived an attack by her infected co-worker, Bobby. Now she has to find a way across the infected city, through millions of the walking dead, to rescue her young brother, trapped in the attic of their murdered parents’ home. It seems impossible, insane...

Some say that true evil never dies, it merely lies dormant, awaiting the next opportunity to rise from its dark lair and visit itself upon humankind again. Jack Hunger, a cop in Lee County, Florida, never gave it much thought. He purchased the 20-year-old Pentax K1000 camera at a perfectly respectable thrift store, and it was to be the beginning of a new hobby for the reclusive crime scene photographer.

Eric A. Shelman was born in Fort Worth, Texas, so he's not sure how much more American someone can be. He grew up in the '60s, with memories of community parades, men and women on horseback carrying flags of his home state of Texas and the United States, and all the riders proudly wearing red, white, and blue. Patriotic music played in the background while onlookers ate hot dogs and cotton candy cheering on the participants.

Frank Swanson is a serial killer. His entire life he has moved from place to place, never putting his roots down in any one town too long. He has studied his craft, and he has reasons and justifications for who he is and what he does. But one quiet night as Frank disposes of a body, his world changes forever. In a rural Texas town on the banks of a river, Olivia Rainey becomes Frank's first witness over his long career of killing. Strikingly beautiful, but with dark secrets and longings of her own, she sends his world into a tailspin with her mysteriously self-destructive actions.

The bears were hungry and the panther was pacing her cage. It was supposed to be a fun field trip to the zoo. Instead, it turned into a nightmare of blood. The zombie virus spread like wildfire. By noon, they were all alone. Abandoned. Safe inside the fences, a group of school kids are the only survivors. Like the animals, they’ve spent their whole lives being cared for and fed, pampered and loved. Now they have to learn how to survive, how to hunt, and how to kill.

It should have been just another Monday. Another humdrum day in a long string of boring days spent at the office, drooling over the girl of his dreams. Bobby’s regular routine of getting ready for work and the lackluster life spent in a cubicle are hilariously detailed as Bobby finds himself bouncing between the day’s activities and strange semi-lucid moments of sounds and images that he can’t quite make sense of.

People - lots of them - are going missing on the island nation of Aruba. Jack Hunger has a funny feeling it’s not by natural causes. Fearing the worst, he and Wayne Olsen must hop a flight from south Florida to the Caribbean to find out the truth. Allyson Hayes and Chad Steiner were set loose on the promise they had become human, again; that they no longer required or desired human flesh to live.
