Download or read book Beach Blanket Zombie written by Mark McLaughlin and published by . This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zombies are relentless, ravenous creatures, and their insatiable appetite for living flesh has given author Mark McLaughlin plenty of food for thought. In BEACH BLANKET ZOMBIE, you will sit down to a feast of zombie stories -- seventeen in all. Zombies can rise from the dead for countless reasons. Any horror-movie enthusiastic can tell you that. Sure, a zombie's bite can turn its victim into one of the living dead. But that's not all. In films, corpses have been turned into zombies through voodoo, nuclear power, viruses, parasites, Egyptian curses (if you count mummies as zombies), toxic chemicals, the Black Mass, and more. In his stories, McLaughlin explores many different ways to bring the dead back to life. As you read these stories, you will learn about zombies created by Internet witches, and discover the bizarre secrets of the isle of Zovemba, also known as Zombie Island. And that's not all. To satisfy your hunger for horror, McLaughlin has added sixteen stories about other types of humanoid monstrosities. Fiends and freaks come in many forms, and some of the very worst attempt to pass for people. In this collection, you will such ghastly, pulse-pounding tales of the macabre as "Beach Blanket Zombie," "Vulture Soup for the Soulless," "The Agony of Claude Bawls," "Tears of the Expressionist Aphrodite," "Cyber-Vengeance of the Internet Witches," "ZOM BEE MOO VEE," "Tell Your Secrets to the Slime," "The Bloody Woman and the Chameleon Man, Also Known as Mom and Dad," "Hello! My Name is Halja," "Notes Concerning the Death and/or Decomposition of Reality, "The Tale Of The Cat-Headed Man, The Man-Headed Dog, and the Lady With Rats For Hands," and many more.

Download or read book The Penguin Book of the Undead written by Scott G. Bruce and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The walking dead from 15 centuries haunt this compendium of ghostly visitations through the ages, exploring the history of our fascination with zombies and other restless souls. Since ancient times, accounts of supernatural activity have mystified us. Ghost stories as we know them did not develop until the late nineteenth century, but the restless dead haunted the premodern imagination in many forms, as recorded in historical narratives, theological texts, and personal letters. The Penguin Book of the Undead teems with roving hordes of dead warriors, corpses trailed by packs of barking dogs, moaning phantoms haunting deserted ruins, evil spirits emerging from burning carcasses in the form of crows, and zombies with pestilential breath. Spanning from the Hebrew scriptures to the Roman Empire, the Scandinavian sagas to medieval Europe, the Protestant Reformation to the Renaissance, this beguiling array of accounts charts our relationship with spirits and apparitions, wraiths and demons over fifteen hundred years, showing the evolution in our thinking about the ability of dead souls to return to the realm of the living—and to warn us about what awaits us in the afterlife.

With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a live-action virtual reality arcade in the middle of a Long Island wasteland, six people are about to be thrown into the game of their lives. And a hundred thousand undead are waiting for their first meal in a decade. Self-taught master hacker Jessie Daniels has always marched to the beat of a different drummer. She's had to, being the daughter of the man who created the often vilified Reanimation technology. While the government has made the invention nearly indispensable to millions of living citizens, powerful ArcTech has turned it into a lucrative entertainment empire. Jessie secretly dreams of tearing it all down. And when one member of her small, close circle of friends jokingly proposes physically breaking onto the island, she might just get her chance. But while she and the others soon discover that breaking in is easy, getting back out is a whole different matter. In fact, it's a hell of a killer. Hounded by mysterious villains who won't hesitate to kill, the game quickly turns into a fight to survive, and death becomes just a different way of leveling up. No longer is the ultimate goal escaping with their skin intact. Not it's defeating them and finding the secret to a potential cure. And the one person who holds it may also know the truth behind her father's puzzling murder year's before. Is Jessie willing to sacrifice everything to learn it? *Series relaunch* In 2012, master storyteller Saul Tanpepper released the riveting post-apocalyptic survival saga, GAMELAND.

Book excerpt: No one ever truly escapes the arcade The thrilling saga continues in the second deadly installment of the best-selling post-apocalyptic cyberpunk series by Saul Tanpepper!They survived hacking themselves into the script. They leveled up without losing a single life. They even managed to get back out. That is, they thought they did. But no one ever truly escapes the arcade. Welcome back to GAMELAND. Are you ready to level up? A note about ZPOCALYPTO from series creator Saul Tanpepper Gameland is the post-apocalyptic dystopian world I first created in 2011 with the publication of the short story “Golgotha,” which later became the prequel to this bestselling cyberpunk series. Originally just called GAMELAND, the series was released in eight “episodic” installments. Readers quickly demanded more, and a “Season Two”, plus a number of standalone companion titles, were subsequently published. And still my readers wanted more. I’m happy to announce that at least two new spinoff series are now in the works. Both are set within the same terrifyingly all-too-plausible near-future world. To prepare for their upcoming release, I felt it was time to update the original series. Gaps have been filled in, loose ends tied up, and unresolved questions answered. With both seasons newly repackaged into one 14-episode collection, which now includes significantly refreshed and expanded content and gorgeous new covers, I am re-releasing the stories under new branding. The legacy series is now called ZPOCALYPTO. It and the spin-offs will hereafter be incorporated under the World of Gameland banner. “Golgotha” and all pre-existing companion titles and supplemental materials for the original series will be included within future ZPOCALYPTO episodes and boxsets, so you won’t miss a single word. But if you can’t wait to read the story that set this all in motion, you can find “Golgotha” in my short story collection, Shorting the Undead and Other Horrors. Now, if you’re a returning Gameland fan, I thank you for your continuing support. It is my hope that with this relaunch, you don’t just rediscover the thrills you experienced upon reading the original series, but that this resurrection further enriches your love and devotion to the world and its characters. At the very least, rereading it as we approach GAMELAND’s tenth anniversary will hopefully prepare you for what is to come next! So grab some snacks, settle into your comfy spot, and set your phone to “do not disturb.” Take my hand and hold on tight. It’s time to enter The Game. Happy reading, Saul
