In a city filled with costumed villains, one man will strive to make a difference. Trained in martial arts and with an arsenal of weapons to due battle, the dark figure known only as the Cowl will stop any foe who wants to hurt, steal or murder his fellow citizens. Zombies, werewolves and giant robots are just some of the dangers he will face, and the Cowl would gladly give his life to save those he's vowed to protect. But when a man battles evil every day, and though his own moral code is strong, is it possible that no matter how powerful his willpower, in the end he may become that which he seeks to destroy?

A Brave New World---- Survival is a perilous game a hundred years after the bombs fell, devastating the world and leaving behind death and destruction in its wake. But no matter what, mankind perseveres, and out of the ashes small towns still exist, ruled by barons with a taste for wealth and blood, while outside these small enclaves, slavers, marauders, and cannibals search for easy prey. ----Past Mistakes---- A century earlier, Hank Summers and his band of warrior survivalists became inadvertently trapped in an underground government bunker with little food and no hope of escape. With the only egress to the bunker sealed with a timer, one not to be opened for a hundred years, the four weary companions had no choice but to use the experimental hibernation chambers, in the hopes of remaining in stasis until the doors opened ten decades later. ----Blood and Death---- But nothing experimental is foolproof, and Hank ends up waking weeks earlier than the others. With no choice but to venture out into the world alone, to find food for himself and his soon-to-waking-friends, he quickly discovers that the world is just as cruel and barbaric as before he went into hibernation. With only his weapons and wits to survive, it's still possible Hank may not survive to return to the bunker and his waiting friends, as new enemies soon begin hunting him. Though the future may be deadlier than the past, it's all that remains.

Once upon a time there were zombies... Not the typical beginning to a fairy tale story, but what if it was? What if there was a zombie outbreak and the Big Bad Wolf and Red Riding Hood were involved? What about the Three Little Pigs, or perhaps Rapunzel? That's what this anthology is all about. Taking the living dead and mixing them up with all those fairy tales we know and love. Welcome to the make-believe world of Zombies and Fairy Tales, where not only does the impossible happen, but it occurs alongside the walking dead.

Escaping Boston as it falls to the walking dead, Dodger, Pete, Pam and Kevin, four desperate survivors of the zombie outbreak, have no choice but to set down in an overrun shopping mall in a suburban town far west of the city due to low fuel. Safe for the moment in their hidden haven on the top floor of the zombie-filled mall, things quickly go from bad to worse before any of them realize it when one of the group becomes bitten by a zombie. But it's not all bad. The mall has a video store full of porn And more food in the shops than any of them could ever eat. Plus loads of clothes and other valuable items it would take a lifetime to afford. But their sanctuary isn't as safe as they believed upon arrival; the walking dead are always out there, just waiting for a chance to feed. Undead clowns, Shriner biker gangs, and loads of animated corpses are just some of the obstacles between the four humans and survival. Welcome to the Comedy of the Dead, where life is a joke, and death is the ultimate punch line.

Lessingham is a haunted man, and though in fear for his life, it's possible the past is far more dangerous than the present. With the help of Sydney Atherton and Marjorie Lindon, he will attempt to escape the clutches of revenge. But can any man escape "The Curse of the Beetle"?

From a first look, zombies may seem different from regular people. After all, they smell, they like to eat brains, and they don't clean up after themselves. Now most of this stuff can be overlooked-well, maybe not the brain-eating-but how do you accept someone into your life that is technically dead? The living-challenged may be clumsy, and they may be sloppy eaters, but one thing is for sure is that they can also be amusing, and when you really get a good look at them, maybe, just maybe, they aren't that scary at all and in fact, they are actually funny So before you shoot that zombie in the head or run for the mountains to live the life of a hermit, read this book and find out all that you've been missing about the walking dead. Because after all, zombies are people too

Years have passed since the dead first began to walk, and the world is a very different place. Gone are the luxuries man once enjoyed, to be replaced with a want for basic necessities, such as food, clothing, shelter, and of course, safety from the walking dead. At a time when the survivors of the land believe the undead scourge is almost over, as the dead begin to fade away, a new threat rises from out of the Nevada desert. A lone zombie has appeared with the power to control the undead, and this thinking, reasoning ghoul has a hate for mankind that has rarely been seen before. Gathering the living dead to him, this zombie king begins to sweep across the state, absorbing every town and enclave he comes across, killing the inhabitants and turning them into zombies so they can join his dead army. Henry Watson and his warrior survivalists discover the threat of the zombie king before they reach the next town in their travels, where the group tries desperately to convince the town leaders of their dire fate. But when the dead army arrives and surrounds the town, causing an unending siege that will result in the death of every living human being within its walls, it will be up to Henry to risk all for his friends and the human race. If he fails, there will be no stopping the dead army before it wipes humanity from the planet, leaving nothing but the dead to inherit the earth. In a world filled with the living dead, you can either fight or die.

MORE ADVENTURES INTO THE WORLD OF DAY OF THE DEAD It has been years since the dead began to walk and civilization is now nothing but a memory. Cities are nothing but ruins, filled with the living dead, and where once small enclaves survived, now they are all gone. One of the last holdouts, a group of soldiers and scientists hidden in an underground bunker in Florida, are also gone after being overrun by the undead. But there were three survivors: Sarah, John and McDermott. Escaping in a helicopter, the group found refuge on an island off the coast of Florida, where they hope to begin life anew, away from the death and destruction that was once mankind. But the island is far from uninhabited, and soon Sarah and the others find themselves embroiled in the struggles of a small camp of people that came to the island years ago at the beginning of the outbreak. Here, men of science as well as civilians have begun working on a cure for the undead plague. But then Sarah finds out that she is the key to the cure, that she alone could be the one to save the remaining humans on the planet from a fate worse than death. Only there is one hitch. The key to the cure of the plague is buried in her notes back at the underground bunker, and the only way to reach Sarah's lab is through hundreds upon hundreds of walking dead that now fill the corridors. With a small commando force joining in, Sarah, John and McDermott have no choice but return to the fateful bunker where Sarah and the others had only narrowly escaped with their lives weeks ago. But unknown to them, the bunker harbors an evil far worse than the walking dead. An enemy they believe long dead has resurfaced with only one goal...vengeance and death. Though at first there was the Day of the Dead, eventually night must fall. Then there is only the Sunset of the Dead.

Clowns. They're supposed to be happy, full of laughter and fun, but there's a dark underside to these masked harlequins, one hidden under all that makeup and colorful hair. Who hasn't stared at a clown and become frightened, a chill running down your backside when that clown turned his cold gaze on you? Who hasn't felt a flutter of fear when that painted face grinned over at you, the smile seeming to be hiding something evil? Clowns have been around for ages, and though supposedly filled with cheer, there is something sinister behind all that pomp and fluff. A fear of clowns is ingrained in all of us, some more than others, and in this anthology, that fear has been extrapolated on like a cut torn open to expose the bleeding wound within. So get ready for stories that show the clown in a new light, one where the painted mask of happiness has been wiped away, leaving only terror behind.

What could be better than Christmas? How about Christmas and zombies? That's right; this anthology explores what would happen at Christmas time if there was a zombie epidemic in the world.

Once you read about Santa feeding on children and Rudolph devouring Mrs. Claus at the North Pole, you will never see Christmas the same way again

When the world ends in fire and death, those who survive will pray they had perished as well. Once lush land is now rolling desert hills, radiation pits where lakes once were.

These are only a few of the scenarios at Earth's End, and this collection of stories from popular and up-and-coming authors will surely make you think the next time you see a flash in the night sky.

There is no hope at Earth's End, only death and suffering.

Welcome to the House of Terrors Monsters, torturers and serial killers abound in this collection of horror stories not for the faint of heart, written by both established and up and coming new authors. In the darkness within us all resides a demon no one can destroy, one that feeds on carnage and mayhem. Though you may try to deny this, you know it's true. Human beings are no more than animals, filled with selfishness, greed and evil intentions. Will you face your true self or continue hiding in the shadows? If unsure, then delve into these pages of terror and unlock your innermost fears.

Death is the great equalizer. Young or old, rich or poor, in the end, we will all feel Death's cold embrace. There is no way to escape it, no way to stop the inevitable. If there is one certainty in life, it is that we will all die eventually. But instead of ignoring Death, and trying not to think about it, this anthology sheds light on that one thing each human being on the planet will do alone. What will you do when your time finally comes? What will you do when it is 11:59 and at midnight your fate is sealed? Though you think you may know the answer, the truth is, no one knows, not until they are there, watching that second hand tick away that last minute of their life. For in the end, Death comes for us all; there is no escape.

With long thin tails, beady eyes and usually carriers of plagues, rats are one of the most reviled creatures on the planet. And for good reason. Vicious in the extreme, rats will go to great lengths to find food and have no qualms about feeding on human flesh if there is a need. Imagine being trapped in the sewers of New York while all around you are hundreds of rats, their hungry eyes watching and waiting for a chance to attack. Or maybe you find yourself in a garbage dump and are helpless, and as night begins to fall, the rats come out to feed...on you. While digging a grave in a cemetery, the rats are there, waiting for a chance to pounce. Or one dark night, the rats enter your house while you sleep, to then swarm over you while you lay helpless in bed. These are the stuff of nightmares, of horrors best left in the dark. Welcome to Rat War, where the battle to survive may not always be the outcome you might expect, and where the worst enemy may be your own fear.
