I’m pretty sure you already know who I am. As for everyone else... I don’t think there are enough people left to make a secret identity worth the effort.

Stealth. Gorgon. Regenerator. Cerberus. Zzzap. The Mighty Dragon. They were heroes. Vigilantes. Crusaders for justice, using their superhuman abilites to make Los Angeles a better place.

Then the plague of living death spread around the globe. Despite the best efforts of the superheroes, the police, and the military, the hungry corpses rose up and overwhelmed the country. The population was decimated, heroes fell, and the city of angels was left a desolate zombie wasteland like so many others.

Now, a year later, the Mighty Dragon and his companions must overcome their differences and recover from their own scars to protect the thousands of survivors sheltered in their film studio-turned-fortress, the Mount. The heroes lead teams out to scavenge supplies, keep the peace within the walls of their home, and try to be the symbols the survivors so desperately need.

For while the ex-humans walk the streets night and day, they are not the only threat left in the world, and the people of the Mount are not the only survivors left in Los Angeles. Across the city, another group has grown and gained power.

And they are not heroes.

"Combining pop culture, superheroes and zombies, EX-HEROES is not to be taken lightly. One of the best genre blenders I have ever read."
--James Melzer, author of ESCAPE

"Clines' EX-HEROES merges superheroes and zombies in a way never before conceived. This is what happens to heroes when the sexy allure and secret identities are stripped away and all that's left are people who failed to save the world as it collapsed around them. Ex-Heroes will have you gripping the book and reading late into the night, when you know no heroes will save you."
--Mur Lafferty, author of PLAYING FOR KEEPS

At the end of the world a handful of survivors banded together in a museum-turned-compound surrounded by the living dead. The community established rituals and rites of passage, customs to keep themselves sane, to help them integrate into their new existence. In a battle against a kingdom of savage prisoners, the survivors lost loved ones, they lost innocence, but still they coped and grew. They even found a strange peace with the undead.

Twelve years later the community has reclaimed more of the city and has settled into a fairly secure life in their compound. Zoey is a girl coming of age in this undead world, learning new roles--new sacrifices. But even bigger surprises lay in wait, for some of the walking dead are beginning to remember who they are, who they've lost, and, even worse, what they've done.

As the dead struggle to reclaim their lives, as the survivors combat an intruding force, the two groups accelerate toward a collision that could drastically alter both of their worlds.

"A thinking man's zombie novel. Paffenroth has looked beyond the initial bloodshed to what happens after the end of the world. He explores deep philosophical issues while never letting the horror fan go hungry for gore."
--David Wellington, author of the Monster Island/Nation/Planet trilogy

Apocalyptic novel THE OBLIVION SOCIETY now available!

The end of the world is just the beginning of the adventure!

Watch the video trailer for the book here!

==========
What would you do if you slept through the apocalypse? What if everything you knew about disaster survival came from old B-movies? What would you do if society as you know it suddenly became The Oblivion Society?

After an accidental nuclear war reduces civilization to a smoldering ruin, grocery clerk Vivian Gray joins a comically inept bunch of twentysomething survivors, and together they try to ride out Armageddon on little more than scavenged junk food and half-remembered pop culture.

When the contaminated atmosphere unleashes a menagerie of deadly atomic mutants, Vivian and her friends take to the interstate for a madcap cross-country road trip toward a distant sanctuary that may not, in the strictest sense of the word, exist. But can they get to safety before the toxins get to them?

DYING TO LIVE 2 sneak peek!

Kim Paffenroth is hard at work on the sequel to his zombie novel Dying to Live and has been kind enough to share chapter 1 with us!

John Dies at the End coming soon from Permuted Press!

Solving the following riddle will reveal the awful secret behind the universe, assuming you do not go utterly mad in the attempt. If you already happen to know the awful secret behind the universe, feel free to skip ahead.

We've picked up a very cool novel by David Wong called John Dies at the End which we're planning for a quick release this summer. This book has it all: apocalyptic scenario, genuine scares and creepiness, and very dark humor. Imagine X-Files redone with more horror by the guys who did "Shaun of the Dead" and you're getting the very general idea. And you can read the whole thing online here right now! I challenge anyone to read the prologue and not want to read the rest of the book.

"[John Dies at the End is] a gleefully anarchic blend of gutbusting comedy and gutmunching horror. I would have laughed louder but I was afraid of what would hear me."
--David Demchuk, author of Alice in Cyberspace

---

"Hilarious, exuberant, and disgusting, usually all at the same time. It's the steamy love letter to horror that most of us wish we had the guts to write."
--Ben Thomas, editor of The Willows

---

"[John Dies at the End is enough] to keep anyone interested for weeks... This is one breakthrough novel that everyone should be reading. Go wrap yourself up in a blanket, grab a cup of coffee, and lock your bedroom door. And read JDatE."
--Caysie Bury, Book Babble blog
