Synopsis:

The pulse-pounding sequel to The Summer I Died:

It's been ten years since Roger Huntington suffered through the bloody events in Skinny Man's basement. Ten years since the game of chance, the dismemberment, the torture, and the grisly deaths. Roger has moved to California where he now works as a painter and pines after his co-worker, Victoria. It's a seemingly bland life, which is how he likes it. But just as he can't forget his past, he is about to discover that his future may hold far more terrifying events than anything he could possibly imagine.

Synopsis:

Free at last! Free at last! This ain't your grandfather's Huckleberry Finn. It's nineteenth century America and a mutant strain of tuberculosis is bringing its victims back from the dead. Sometimes they come back docile, and other times vicious. The vicious ones are sent back to Hell, but the docile ones are put to work as servants and laborers. With so many zombies on the market, the slave trade is nonexistant. The black man is at liberty, and human bondage is no more. Young Huckleberry Finn has grown up in a world that shuns the N-word, with its scornful eye set on a new class of shambling, putrid sub-humans: The Baggers. When his abusive father comes back into his life, Huck flees down the river with Bagger Jim, seeking a life of perfect freedom. When the pox mutates once again, causing even the tamest of baggers to become bloodthirsty monsters, the boy Finn is forced to question his relationship with his dearest, deadest friend. In this revised take on history and classic literature, the modern age is ending before it ever begins. Huckleberry Finn will inherit a world of horror and death, and he knows the mighty Mississippi might be the only way out . . .

Massive Kindle sale: AXIOM-MAN Superhero Novels on Sale for Just .99 Cents Each!

From Axiom-man Central:

For a very short time I'm offering my superhero novel series, The Axiom-man Saga, for just .99 cents a book for the Kindle. That's a crazy discount, but I really want to spread the word about the character so I figure offering it cheap is the best way to do that.

Master link to The Axiom-man Saga on Kindle: http://amzn.to/gJd47V

Here's a list of what's available is (again, for just .99 cents, listed in reading order). I've also put an abridged synopsis beneath each title. Just click on the thumbnail to download your copy.

Axiom-man:

One night Gabriel Garrison was visited by a nameless messenger who bestowed upon him great power, a power intended for good. Once discovering what this power was and what it enabled him to do, Gabriel became Axiom-man, a symbol of hope in a city that had none.

First Night Out:

The messenger has fled, leaving Gabriel alone with mysterious abilities he knows little about. As he embarks on the path of discovery, Gabriel must try to understand why he was chosen to receive the most powerful of all gifts and, with the help from no other, come to a decision as to what to do with them. Even if it takes the death of an innocent to convince him.

Doorway of Darkness:

Gabriel Garrison's secret identity has been compromised and the timing cannot have been worse. Redsaw has become more powerful than when Axiom-man last fought him, and he has determined to attain unstoppable power through the only means he knows how: murder. Chaos ensues and Axiom-man must find the means to stop Redsaw before the whole world is swallowed in a web of death.

Black Water (short story):

Bodies litter the sand of a friendly beach. Axiom-man flies down to Florida to investigate only to discover this isn't your average series of murders. Something else caused the deaths of these innocent people, and something else has caused them to rise. Something unnatural, perhaps even supernatural. Something . . . from beneath the ocean's black water.

Of Magic and Men (comic book):

For a time, people were going missing, without a sign or trace as to their whereabouts. Then, for a time, they resurfaced, mutilated and broken, some with bizarre attachments surgically grafted onto their severed limbs. One name has surfaced as to the architect of these twisted acts of violence: the Magic Man. Axiom-man takes it upon himself to bring the Magic Man to justice, and uses the only bait he has to draw out this deadly maniac: himself. Welcome to the underground.

The Dead Land:

A young boy goes missing. No clues. Nothing except the remnants of a black cloud, like the one coughed up from inside the Doorway of Darkness. A black cloud that takes Axiom-man to a world not his own. A dead world, where a gray and brown sky shrouds an entire city in a miasma of decay. The streets are empty. The young boy is nowhere to be found. Those he does find...are dead. And walking.

A full synopsis of each story is at the links above.

What's also cool is you don't need a Kindle Reader to read these books! Amazon has a free Kindle app available for a ton of devices, everything from your PC to your Blackberry to your iPad and more! Here's the link to whatever you need: http://amzn.to/hJG7t1

Again, the .99 cent deal is only going to be on for a short time so please jump on this as soon as possible. I've been known to change prices within days of announcing a sale.

I hope you enjoy The Axiom-man Saga. It's the most favorite thing I do and it's my hope my love for superheroes really shines through its pages.

Recommended for fans of Spider-Man, Superman and Batman.

Here's the master link to the entire saga once again: http://amzn.to/gJd47V

Thanks again.

Best,

The Buzz:

"With The Weaponer, Eric S. Brown reloads the zombie genre for a take-no-prisoners tale of action, heartbreak and adventure." - Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of Patient Zero and Dead of Night

"If George Romero ever decided to combine Shane and The Road Warrior, he'd probably write something a lot like Eric S. Brown's The Weaponer." - Peter Clines, author of Ex-Heroes

"The Weaponer combines the old west with modern technology and an army of the living dead to create a bleak and chilling tale of a post-apocalyptic future. But at its heart, it's a story about the human will to survive." - S.G. Browne, author of Breathers

"The Weaponer takes the reader into the remnants of the modern world, where old west values take the place of modern comfort in a land of human savages and the zombie curse. Eric S. Brown sculpts his story like The Weaponer, as 'an artisan of death.'" - Bowie V. Ibarra, author of the Down the Road Zombie Horror series

Synopsis:

Long after the fall of man, humanity lives sheltered behind a massive wall that encloses the United States' last survivors of civilization. Outside the wall, the undead rule the world.

Generations have passed and mankind has returned to the technology and life of the Old West, surviving off the land and doing what they can to get by.

Hyattsburg, a haven once thought safe behind the wall, has visitors: hungry zombies.

When an entire family is murdered and partially eaten, Alan, the world's last remaining Weaponer, is called to duty to aid those struggling to remain safe, as well as find out what happened and if the dead are the only ones to blame for the grisly deaths of innocents.

Terror and zombies rule an Old West Apocalypse in The Weaponer.
