Teaser from MAZ: Moms Against Zombies by Alathia Paris Morgan #SummerZombie
“Alathia Paris Morgan brings a different sensibility to writing about zombies. Both her zombie books so far show an amazing range even within the genre itself.

Teaser from The Undead Pool: Dawn of Injustice by Derek Ailes #SummerZombie
