The end of the world really has arrived.  The funny thing is, Chase’s life was over long before the apocalypse got here, his existence already reduced to a stinking basement apartment and a filthy mattress and an endless grind of buying and selling and using. He’s lied and cheated and stolen and broken his parents’ hearts a thousand times. And he threw away his only shot at sobriety a long time ago, when he chose the embrace of the drug over the woman he still loves.  And if your life’s already shattered beyond any normal hopes of redemption…well, maybe the end of the world is an opportunity. Maybe it’s a last chance for Chase to hit restart and become the man he once dreamed of being. Soon he’s fighting to reconnect with his lost love and dreaming of becoming her hero among civilization’s ruins.  But is salvation just another pipe dream?  Propelled by a blistering first-person voice and featuring a powerfully compelling antihero, Fiend is at once a riveting portrait of addiction, a pitch-black love story, and a meditation on hope, redemption, and delusion—not to mention one hell of a zombie novel.

BadAss Zombie Road Trip


Tonia Brown - 2012
    Seven days. Two souls. One zombie. Satan. Everyone LOVES Tonia Brown's BADASS ZOMBIE ROAD TRIP. You know why? Because it's BADASS! Just check out what people are saying! Tash Williams from AndyErupts: Badass Zombie Road Trip is a fantastic book, the storyline is extremely well thought out and the action starts almost immediately. It is also extremely funny and has one of the best instances of truly expressive swearing I have ever read in a book… I am being honest in saying that this book is one of the best stories I have read in a long while. Nathan Robinson at Snakebite Horror: Nicely written, well plotted with enough twists and turns to keep any reader's attention all the while being an interesting take on the zombie genre… and far enough away from traditional zombie fare to attract a full range of horror fans. The Aussie Zombie: The writing of BadAss Zombie Road Trip is spot on – action in all the right places, witty dialogue and realistic characters who are either love ‘em or hate ‘em types, and there are more than a few laughs along the way. Lori Bowland at Living Dead Media: Readers are in for a treat with "Badass Zombie Road Trip. It's one of the most enjoyable of horror comedy novels to come along in a while. The entire book is hilarious, wonderful and flawless. It's the best of screwball comedies with a bit of the grisly to keep it delightfully weird. Be prepared to laugh your hearts out and be taken on an insane cross country journey. Graeme Reynolds' Blog: Badass Zombie Road Trip is a very different book from the usual zombie fare. For one thing, it’s absolutely hilarious. Horror comedy is not an easy thing to pull off, but this book delivers it in spades. It’s a funny, sometimes moving, sometimes gross and always entertaining road novel, which happens to have a zombie as one of the protagonists. Buy Zombie: Badass Zombie Road Trip was a unique tale about the undead and one that I highly recommend picking this one up immediately! It’ll be a quick read but a fun one. Synopsis: Jonah has seven days to find his best friend’s soul, or lose his own, dragging a zombie across the country with a stripper who has an agenda of her own, while being pursued for a crime he didn’t commit... and dealing with Satan.
