DOWNLOAD EBOOKThey kept us locked in walled cities, away from the unlucky people who got infected. I suppose that made us the lucky ones, but for me it was a pretty tough pill to swallow. Before everything went down - before a combination of rabies and leprosy turned people into something an awful lot like zombies - I was a Maryland doctor, nearing retirement, wealthy and respected, even if I was a pompous ass. In the walled city, all of that disappeared and I had nothing. Not until Rosa showed up one day. She had dreams, making me realize that I had lost mine. If not for her, I would never have escaped. Never seen the world outside the walls. Never known hope again. But with hope came fear, and in our world, that came with death. Funny how the disease took away life, community, even civilization itself, but gave me one thing I never knew I wanted: family. Still, our life was a cruel life, and it taught me one thing clearly. We might not all get killed by this world, this disease, but there's no way we're all getting out alive. ----- Includes: The Oasis of Filth - Part 1 The Hopeless Pastures - The Oasis of Filth - Part 2 From Blood Reborn - The Oasis of Filth - Part 3 ----- Winner of the Red City Review science fiction and fantasy book of the year award! "The book sets up a believable and in many ways terrifying world, one which takes the zombie genre in a direction that can actually be called unique..." "While a book about outcasts banding together may seem as overdone a trope as zombie fiction itself, once again I have to assure anyone reading this that the author, Keith Soares, is in all ways a step above those expectations in his ideas and his execution... I don't recommend reading this book; I recommend reading every book this author publishes, as I have no doubt he will continue raising the bar." "Soares paints a frightening, realistic picture of life in a post-apocalyptic world... It’s refreshing to read a book in this vein that allows the reader to explore a protagonist’s anguish without relying on a flat, twenty-something hero." "Quite different from the majority of novels in the zombie apocalypse genre, but in those differences were some truly great decisions by the author in creating a post apocalyptic environment, and mind set, that is unlike any other I have ever read, and I have read literally over a hundred books by now dealing with post apocalyptic worlds." "A realistic zombie virus -- great book!" "A zombie trilogy that had me hooked. I found it to be unique among books in the zombie outbreak genre and very plausible. Fast-paced and exciting. I couldn't put it down!"

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPart One: You know what brings people’s secrets to the surface? The end of the world. A blister opened in the sky, and now death rains down onto the Earth. No one expected the oldsters living at Paradise Homes to respond in any way—not me, and certainly not any of the other staff. But it turned out we’re a home for retired super-beings, and now the only thing standing between me and a demon is a not-so-little old man and an old lady who speaks to Russian ghosts. For some weird reason, they think I’m going to save the world. When a second blister opens and floods Paradise Homes with hellhounds, we have no choice but to fight back. Now to survive the hounds so I can stop the apocalypse.… Part Two: I thought I had the end of the world under control. Closing the reality blister at Paradise Homes should have granted me a moment to breathe. No more hellhounds came through. We were somewhat safe. Finding our ghost’s ring should have been a breeze. I didn’t count on the super-soldiers. Or Nax’s illness. Or that my sword’s guiding “voices” might be something utterly malicious. Part Three: I thought I’d reached pinnacle bad with the gaslighting spaceship. I was wrong. Multiverse-level wrong. The Fate Progenitor stole my Midnight Blade. Then he stole Nax and Leif. And now that horrid ship, all the equally horrid human factions vying for control, and the terrifying dragons who invaded our planet—they all want mouthfuls of my mind. My body. My soul. Thing is, someone has to save the world. How much can I take before my psyche bleeds out? I was supposed to stop the apocalypse. I was supposed to be a hero. But sometimes we’re only the hero we deserve…. Join Del Parrish and the original Draki Prime as they take up the second battle of the World on Fire universe against gaslighting spaceships, evil Fates, and timeline-jumping super-soldiers in this full series edition of Witch of the Midnight Blade.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis ebundle includes the complete Extraordinaries series: The Extraordinaries, Flash Fire, and Heat Wave. Lambda Literary Award-winning author TJ Klune’s YA series, The Extraordinaries, tells a queer coming-of-age story about a fanboy with ADHD and the heroes he loves. The Extraordinaries: Some people are extraordinary. Some are just extra. Nick Bell? Not extraordinary. But being the most popular fanfiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom is a superpower, right? After a chance encounter with Shadow Star, Nova City’s mightiest hero (and Nick’s biggest crush), Nick sets out to make himself extraordinary. And he’ll do it with or without the reluctant help of Seth Gray, Nick's best friend (and maybe the love of his life). Flash Fire: When new Extraordinaries begin arriving in Nova City—siblings who can manipulate smoke and ice, a mysterious hero who can move objects with their mind, and a drag queen superhero with the best name and the most-sequined costume anyone has ever had—it’s up to Nick and his friends Seth, Gibby, and Jazz to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous. And new Extraordinaries aren’t the only things coming to light. Long-held secrets and neglected truths are surfacing that challenge everything Nick knows about justice, family, and being extraordinary. Which is a lot to handle when Nick really just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic. Will it all come together in the end or will it all go down in flames? Heat Wave: School’s out for the summer and a raging, malevolent heat has blanketed Nova City. Dark, twisted, probably evil shadows have drenched the doorsteps of her good people’s homes. And Nicholas Bell—fanboy, hero, ADHD-haver—is being super dramatic again. But something’s off, and Nick will need all his friends and loved ones together to uncover the truth before Nova City falls prey to the Burke family. A truth that will reveal a traitor in their midst and burn through their lives like a wildfire. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA great deal of scholarship has focused on Joss Whedon's television and film work, which includes Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, The Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers. But Whedon's work in the world of comics has largely been ignored. He created his own dystopian heroine, Fray, assembled the goofy fannish heroes of Sugarshock, and wrote arcs for Marvel's Astonishing X-Men and Runaways. Along with The Avengers, Whedon's contributions to the cinematic Universe include: script doctoring the first X-Men film, writing a ground-shaking Wonder Woman screenplay, and co-creating ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Today, Whedon continues the Buffy and Firefly stories with innovative comics that shatter the rules of storytelling and force his characters to grow through life-altering conflicts. This collection of new essays focuses on Whedon's comics work and its tie-ins with his film and television productions, emphasizing his auteurism in crossing over from panel to screen to panel. Essays focus on the comic inspirations and subversive tropes of the Whedonverse, as well as character changes and new interpretations.
