Publisher's Synopsis
Earth's Blood: a bizarre crimson fluid seeps up to the surface from deep within the planet's crust. Those who it poisons perish quickly. Those who die are reanimated into flesh-hungry abominations, intent on slaughtering and devouring all survivors...
After a childhood of abuse and tragedy, Connie came to live on her Uncle Mark's farm near Amberton. Thanks to his care and dedication, she grew into a smart, resilient young woman. Years later, Connie - now a geology student - is called back to her uncle's farm to investigate one of the first Earth's Blood seepages. The return to her beloved home begins as a happy reunion with family and friends, but evolves into a worsening nightmare. Visits to neighbouring farms result in violent, bloody encounters against creatures which had once been human and alive... Monsters driven by their desire to feed and capable of tearing a victim apart... Loss of communication services leads Connie and her companions to go for help... towards Amberton, where a catastrophe awaits them like nothing they could have ever imagined... Connie and Mark's small team grows when they meet other survivors. Some are friends, some strangers: but can they all be trusted? And the group numbers less than a dozen, against a growing army of tens of thousands of zombies. A wrong route taken, a poor decision or simple bad luck, might result in them all being eaten alive. Hopes of rescue are dwindling, and the group must fend for themselves. To avoid becoming the food of monsters, they must battle for survival. The situation grows increasingly desperate. Can there be any escape from a town overrun by ravenous, relentless undead hordes? Genesis Of The Undead is the first novel in the series 'The Earth Bleeds' - from the author of God Of War and his best-selling Short Horror Tales. Reviews from this author's horror releases:"...thoroughly spooky, enticing and well written from start to finish."
"...great... I could feel the fear..."
"...shows true mastery of the short horror story... a wildly imaginative antagonist unlike anything I've read before... a quick, captivating read full of horror and thrills. The tense action and suspense of Glancing Blow make it incredibly hard to put down..."
(Glancing Blow - Short Horror Tales #1)
"...When the blood starts to splatter, Nigel's day gets really rough. Thompson has devised a brilliantly brutal creature to sic on his leading man. Creative and twisted, the monster is a total terror... Hooker is an absolutely insane, blood-pumping ride... With a wicked cool monster and a page-turning climax, this is one Creature Feature you won't want to miss out on..."
(Hooker - Short Horror Tales #2)
"Great short story..."
(Ignition Source - Short Horror Tales #4)
"...well-written, descriptive and enthralling page-turner, that's not for the faint-hearted... The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat..."
(God Of War)
"...extremely well written and very dark. The author did a great job of creating a palpable sense of doom that surrounds the main character from the beginning, and then creating more tension and horror as the story went on..."
(Into The Hole)
