    Blood spilled on the asphalt of this town long years gone has left a stain, and it’s spreading. Not that a thing like that matters to teenagers like George, Hector, Paul, and Andy. It’s summer 1983 in a northern California suburb, and these working-class kids have been killing time the usual ways: ducking their parents, tinkering with their bikes, and racing around town getting high and boosting their neighbors’ meds. Just another typical summer break in the burbs. Till Andy’s bike is stolen by the town’s legendary petty hoods, the Arroyo brothers. When the boys break into the Arroyos’ place in search of the bike, they stumble across the brothers’ private industry: a crank lab. Being the kind of kids who rarely know better, they do what comes naturally: they take a stash of crank to sell for quick cash. But doing so they unleash hidden rivalries and crimes, and the dark and secret past of their town and their families.The spreading stain is drawing local drug lords, crooked cops, hard-riding bikers, and the brutal history of the boys’ fathers in its wake.

    For fans of World War Z, The Last of Us, and The Walking Dead.“There are numerous comparisons between STAGE 3 and other zombie apocalypse tales, but it’s the dissimilarities of other zombie tales that put Ken Stark at the top of the zombie author charts. Stark is a master wordsmith. His insight into character development, realistic dialogue and the right amount and timing of twists that keep the reader reading are second to none. I highly recommend STAGE 3 to zombie and horror fans, but also those who enjoy a human story embedded in an action-packed apocalyptic tale.”MASON NEVER CARED MUCH FOR HIS FELLOW MAN.But now, he is all that stands between a blind little girl and a world gone mad.Even as they fight their way from one horror to the next, through streets running red with blood, they both know that time is running out.Stage 3 IS COMING... and things are about to get a whole lot worse.
