WELCOME TO THE END OF THE WORLD!

Disease-K has decimated the world leaving its victims shambling homicidal maniacs. And nestled along the warm Gulf waters sits Gulf Shores…the last outpost of civilization. With looters and thieves preying on the shocked survivors, it’s up to the retirees and bank tellers, phone repairmen and charter-boat captains to put the town back together.

THE SHADOWS ARE GATHERING OUTSIDE OF TOWN!

There, in the sands and marshes of the Gulf of Mexico, the citizens of Gulf Shores along with scattered military units, a downed Air Force pilot, and a lone Coast Guard cutter form the last line of defense against the amassing horde of the infected marching its way toward the sea destroying what is left of humanity along the way.
As summer gives way to the fall and the cold winds blow off the sea, Gulf Shores draws the line and prepares to make the…

THE LAST STAND ON ZOMBIE ISLAND!

The Reviews are Great:

  • “So you think the imminent zombieclypse will be fun and games? Maybe if you’re dealing with slow shamblers, mister, but not in the scenario envisioned in this rip roaring tale. With a well-explained and plausible sounding explanation for the undead and a lot of attention to detail, it becomes very obvious how completely outclassed survivors would be.”
  • “Last Stand on Zombie Island was good to the last drop…of flesh and blood, that is! Very captivating and entertaining throughout with interesting, relatable characters that will keep you intrigued. The zombies themselves are more amped and determined that your standard shambling zombie and will have you on the edge of your seat. Two thumbs up, 5 stars, a real page turner! “
  • “The description of this novel as being based “upon totally ordinary people” is 100% TRUE. In all the Z stories I have read (lots), I have never before read a story which SO CAPTIVATED ME without the presence of A SINGLE “PURELY HEROIC…LARGER THAN LIFE” personality. There are multiple possible explanations:”
  • “I should warn that the “infected” are NOT Romero Zs: They’re faster, they actively seek out and destroy any element of civilization, they are sick, sexual predators, and they kill in new ways.”
  • “I was frustrated THAT I COULD NOT SPEND ALL MY TIME READING IT! I was captivated to the end. This was a case of a “whole greater than the sum of its parts”. I cannot explain more without revealing spoilers. This is a surprisingly RIVETING STORY–BE WARNED!”
  • “I LOVE Zombie fiction…I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to get enough of it. This novel grabbed me from the very beginning and held me throughout. The premise is plausible and the characters are believable. I also appreciate that it seems to have been professionally edited. Nothing bothers me more than simple grammatical mistakes in a book that I PAY for. This one doesn’t have that deficiency. If you like Zombie fiction, buy or steal this book and enjoy reading it as much as I did.”

Also available as a Trade Paperback and Hardcover from Necro Publications.

Enjoy, and get your shamble on!

LSOZI Review at Bricks of the Dead

Dave over at Bricks of the Dead posted a pretty good review of Last Stand on Zombie Island (Link!)

“What happens after the end of the world? That’s a question not many zombie stories try to answer. They generally fixate on the actual apocalyptic stuff, without paying too much heed to how the survivors are going to live once the dust settles a bit. Christopher Eger’s Last Stand on Zombie Island works a little differently. It’s three-act structure looks at the shit hitting the fan, then the survivors rebuilding, and then the prospect of long-term survivability in an undead world. The first act is more or less what you expect, but after that, but book gets really interesting….”

Night Owl Reviews Does Author Interview with me

Night Owl Reviews, one of the biggest names in book reviews, gave me a good opportunity for an interview.

What makes a good Zombie?

Ever since Bela Lugosi, equipped with very questionable facial hair, mumbled a few lines about enslaved undead in the 1932 classic film, “White Zombie,” the world has asked themselves just what is a zombie. Tradition has that this most undefined of the monster genre is a former human who has, through some weird metamorphosis, become something very different. So let’s take the zombie test to see what separates these from the rest of the movie monsters.

Test Number 1: The Shamble.

You simply can’t have a good zombie without a good shamble. These lurking, jerking movements, often similar to a 4AM drunk stroll, are the bread and butter of the living dead. Even those movies and books that feature zombies who sprint like an Olympic superstar (aka ‘The Running Dead’) eventually let them slow down to…the Shamble. Let’s face it; have you ever seen a werewolf or vampire get their shamble on? Didn’t think so.
