The Wolf of Wall Street meets Friday the 13th as financial sharks deal with demonic slashers, backstabbing greedheads, and a sea of their past victims in a bloody conflict where only the ruthless can survive.

Whether you’ve read any of the Apocalypse Weird or Wyrd World novels, it doesn’t really matter, because Jon Frater’s The Taste Makers: A Wyrd World Novel (Expocalypse Book 1) will keep you entertained and on the edge of your seat for the entirety of his book. Yet the experience is so much more if you’ve been keeping up with this apocalyptic madness that began with The Red King by Nick Cole.
The Wyrd World, while not an organized, cohesive bookverse in the same fashion as Apocalypse Weird, is churning out thrillers that you don’t want to miss. And Frater has built a fantastic end-of-the-world scenario and playground, with heroes and villains that readers will be talking about for a long time.

Jon Frater is now one of my MUST read authors. I loved a short he wrote, and was excited to see he wrote a novel in the Apocalypse Weird'verse. If you haven't read the other novels in the 'verse, you should. If you have, you'll see the connection. Either way, itsa story I did not see coming and am very glad it is out for all of us to enjoy.
See the Apocalypse, from Wall Street.

I'm not just giving this a good review because I'm married to the author. This book is funny, heartwarming, and filled with Nagas!

Creepy, fun, & fantastic!
A hard to put down gory jaunt through an apocalyptic, blood-soaked, satanic version of Occupy Wall Street. The character development was on point. The use of social commentary in the storytelling was superb.
My only gripe would be where the story ends, however I feel that the author knew exactly what they were doing, leaving us wanting more!
I can't wait to read more of this harrowing adventure!

Damn
This was my first novel by Jon Frater, but it most definitely will not be my last!
Jon writes a vivid picture of NYC. A strong heroine, and out-of-this-world allies. I look forward to the sequel, to see how the evil is thwarted!
I started reading the Apocalypse Weird novels a couple years ago. That project has broken up, but the stories are still coming.

Snakes and killer cutlery, oh my!
I really enjoyed the extremely creative plot. Absolute anarchy in New York involving insane people with knives is pretty darn entertaining. A nice twist on the zombie theme, and the supernatural and evil elements were a nice touch. Really enjoyed the book!

One of the most engaging and original post-apocalyptic tales I've ever read, and as it's a particularly favorite genre of mine, I've read a lot. I burned through pages, and you probably will too. Definitely worth a read.
