ABOUT THE PARANORM WORLD SERIES

After a worldwide cataclysm and wars broke down society and changed the landscape of the world, a new society had to take shape. The magic users and paranormal beings that spent centuries in hiding and were relegated to myth and legend had to come out of hiding to save the world that shunned them. Now witches, vampires, shifters and normal humans live side by side in a society that was built by merging technology and magic.

In the ruins of old cities new ones formed. New governments rule. Within the walls of the autonomous city-states that have risen up with a City Guard on every corner and the Black Blade Guard, an elite Paranorm law force that dates back centuries before the Cataclysm and hunts down the worst Paranorm criminals, life is relatively safe. Or it should be.

Beyond the walls in the outer-zones is where the real outlaws live. Right? [close]

[close] WIN A SIGNED COPY of the new zombie poetry collection full of 42 poems of undead mayhem humor and gore coming Tuesday, May 23rd to DarkRegions.com

Zombies! There are all kinds of zombies out there these days, from the slow-witted, slow-moving kind, to the more steroid pumped-up versions of recent film and TV. In Scenes Along the Zombie Highway, you'll encounter the living dead in all their ragged, rotten glory, and upon finishing the book, leave with a twisted smile upon your face.


Praise for Scenes Along the Zombie Highway:

"G. O. Clark's Scenes Along the Zombie Highway is stylish, chilling, clever and sly. Beware: it will eat your brain and have your sense of the absurd for dessert." - Mary A. Turzillo, Nebula Award winner, Rhysling Award finalist, author of Lovers and Killers.

"Grisly and smartly funny! G. O. Clark renders the juiciest bits of modern zombie lore into ironic, poignant, and often wry reflections of modern society filtered through a warped sense of humor we all hope the walking dead will have when the zombie apocalypse finally arrives." - James Chambers, author of Corpse Fauna and The Engines of Sacrifice.

"Scenes Along the Zombie Highway is an absorbing collection of emotionally poignant poetry. G. O. Clark brings a fresh take to the zombie genre, so if you love zombies, then you will love this book." - Jeani Rector, Editor of The Horror Zine.

"I'm going to guess that G. O. Clark had a good time with the poems in Scenes Along the Zombie Highway. Oh, there is some serious work here, but Mr. Clark is playing at the top of his game...when he's tongue in cheek. A great wry, witty look at the whole zombie craze. Highly recommended." - Gene O'Neill, Stoker winning author of Dance of the Blue Lady and Other Stories.

[close] I'm giving away five signed copies of the first edition (it's a paperback) of this book to mark the fact that it has just been selected as one of only five finalists in the ForeWord Firsts Winter 2013 competition for debut novels.

Primarily set in the northern Bahamas, ‘For Those In Peril On the Sea’ weaves its tale of post-apocalyptic survival into the local sub-tropical seascape and the sailing culture that can be found there. With its evocative use of real locations haunted by zombie-like infected and atmospheric depictions of the trials of life at sea drawn from the author’s own experiences, this debut novel from Colin M. Drysdale provides a new and unusual take on the traditional post-apocalyptic and zombie genres.

From the back of the book:

After a six week voyage across the Atlantic, they couldn’t wait to get to shore. When they got there, they found the land would never be safe again…

There was nothing to suggest it would be anything other than a routine delivery. Four people thrown together by chance, sailing a newly-built catamaran from South Africa to Miami. But while they were away, something happened, something none of them could ever have imagined. When they get back to civilisation, they find it no longer exists. The land is no longer safe. Their only option is to stay on the boat and try to survive.

Join Bill, Rob, Jon and CJ as they travel around their frightening new world. One where they must struggle against the infected that now rule the land, the elements and each other.

About The Author:

As a marine biologist, Colin M. Drysdale has spent plenty of time at sea with no land in sight but he is always glad when he finally gets back to shore. This novel is inspired by a thought that often plagues him during his voyages. What would he do if something happened while he was away and he could never go back?
