Don't Turn Out the Lights

<div>“[A] thoughtful, postapocalyptic coming-of-age tale . . . this intense novel combines adventure and philosophy to tell a truly memorable zombie story.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen or get their rations cut in half. Benny doesn’t want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be human. “This is no ordinary zombie novel. Maberry has given it a soul in the form of two brothers who captured my heart from the first page and refused to let go.” —Maria V. Snyder, New York Times–bestselling author “The plot is driven by an evil bounty-hunter rival and the cruel games he plays, but Maberry has more than gore on his mind. The chief emotion here is sadness, and the book plays out like an extended elegy for a lost world . . . an impressive mix of meaning and mayhem.” —Booklist “An action-packed, thought-provoking look at life—and death—as readers determine the true enemy.” —Kirkus Reviews</div>

Rot & Ruin

<div>&#8220;The zombie attacks are bigger, better&#8212;and gorier&#8212;in this nearly non-stop action sequel to Rot &amp; Ruin&#8221; (Kirkus Reviews). Winner of the Bram Stoker Award. Six months have passed since the terrifying battle with Charlie Pink-eye and the Motor City Hammer in the zombie-infested mountains of the Rot &amp; Ruin. It&#8217;s also been six months since Benny Imura and Nix Riley saw something in the air that changed their lives. Now, after months of rigorous training with Benny&#8217;s zombie-hunter brother Tom, Benny and Nix are ready to leave their home forever and search for a better future. Lilah the Lost Girl and Benny&#8217;s best friend Lou Chong are going with them. But before they even leave there is a shocking zombie attack in town, and as soon as they step into the Rot &amp; Ruin they are pursued by the living dead, wild animals, insane murderers, and the horrors of Gameland&#8212;where teenagers are forced to fight for their lives in the zombie pits. Worst of all&#8230;could the evil Charlie Pink-eye still be alive? In the great Rot &amp; Ruin, everything wants to kill you. And not everyone in Benny&#8217;s small band of travelers will survive&#8230;.</div>

Dust & Decay

<div>&#8220;The third time&#8217;s the charm with even more adventure&#8212;and gore&#8212;as the Rot &amp; Ruin series continues&#8221; (Kirkus Reviews). Reeling from the devastation of Dust &amp; Decay, Benny Imura and his friends plunge deep into the zombie-infested wastelands of the great Rot &amp; Ruin. Benny, Nix, Lilah, and Chong journey through a fierce wilderness that was once America, searching for the jet they saw in the skies months ago. If that jet exists then humanity itself must have survived&#8230;somewhere. Finding it is their best hope for having a future and a life worth living. But the Ruin is far more dangerous than any of them can imagine. Fierce animals hunt them. They come face to face with a death cult. And then there&#8217;s the zombies&#8212;swarms of them coming from the east, devouring everything in their paths. And these zoms are different. Faster, smarter, and infinitely more dangerous. Has the zombie plague mutated, or is there something far more sinister behind this new invasion of the living dead? One thing Benny and his companions can&#8217;t afford to forget: In the great Rot &amp; Ruin, everything wants to kill you.</div>

Flesh & Bone

<div>From the New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of V-Wars, sixteen horror stories &ldquo;written with great verve . . . for die hard zombie fans&rdquo; (Publishers Weekly). Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry is a master of the zombie tale. Empty Graves: Tales of the Living Dead is emotionally charged and disturbing.

Empty Graves

<div>Thirteen tales of terror&mdash;from the macabre and morbid to unexplainable stories of the occult&mdash;from such authors as Harry Houdini, H. P. Lovecraft, and others. First hitting newsstands in 1923, Weird Tales magazine quickly became a literary monster in discovering and publishing the best horror, sci-fi and fantasy writers of its day. The pulp magazine was one of the earliest publications, if not the first, to feature strange tales of occultism and alien invasions that simply didn&rsquo;t fit into any other magazine at that time. The stories struck a chord with those early audiences, and as a result, Weird Tales created a subgenre as &ldquo;weird&rdquo; could be attached itself to various genres. Marquee names like master magician Harry Houdini and cosmic horror creator H. P. Lovecraft graced the magazine&rsquo;s pages during those early years with several debut stories, alongside authors who were already giants in their own right&mdash;Otis Adelbert Kline, Seabury Quinn, and Greye La Spina. Maybe lesser known, but no less influential, writers like Frank Belknap Long Jr., Mary S. Brown, Lyllian Huntley Harris, Hasan Vokine, Arthur J. Burks, and H. Warner Munn turned out disturbing yarns that have stood the test of time only to be resurrected nearly a century later. This collection features those early authors across thirteen spooky stories from the impactful years of 1923 to 1925 that are best enjoyed at the witching hour. Reading ritual aside, you&rsquo;ve been warned. </div>

This Weird Tales anthology features spectral visions, world-conquering spiders, demonic paintings, and more, in stories by legendary authors such as Seabury Quinn, E.
