David Mark Brown (Goodreads Author)
Two populist Texan folk-heros, Chancho Villarreal and James Starr, embark on a mission of political endorsement, but what they find is a hill country rife with fear and rumor. A so-called Angel of Death is executing individuals infected by a terrible plague, and the company mining town at the epicenter has gone dark.

Dark goings-on are afoot in David Mark Brown’s alternate-history Texas. Actually a lot of them are going on *under*foot because the twitcher outbreak that’s the focus of this story takes place in a mining community. If you’re claustrophobic, you might find some of the underground scenes tricky — best seek medical advice before reading this novel.

Full disclosure - I was a beta reader for David and received no compensation other than a free PDF of the final version.
"Twitch ad Die!" is the latest installment in David Mark Brown’s "Lost DMB Files" series of novels. It builds on the two previous novels bringing back the main characters and throwing them once again into the line of fire.

The Lost DMB Files series has really been a pleasant surprise, as I am not generally a big fan of westerns nor zombie stories, and frankly I thought it would be an awkward combination. However, I found the pulpy feel and the alt history angle ultimately put the series in a genre by itself. I was hooked from the first volume I read (McCutchen's Bones), and Twitch and Die is a heartening example of a series that keeps getting better.

As the author, I'm really excited about this third novel length Lost DMB File (in combination with six shorts and a novella). This marks the beginning of the final phase of my Texicas alternate history universe. By December of this year the first near future novel (DMB Files) within the same timeline will be available. And all these wonderful "lost" files will bring to life the forgotten history of the Texicas universe as artifacts within the new thriller series.
