'Bits of the Dead' Now Available

I can't wait to read this one. My flash fiction zombie story Cemetery is in some pretty intimidating company. Check it out...

Geoff Bough, Editor, Revenant Magazine

"I'd put Bits of the Dead right up there with the likes of Skipp and Spector's Book of the Dead or David J. Schow's Zombie Jam -- each eerie tale featuring it's own new take on the dead. If you're a fan of zombies and zombie fiction . . . load your gun, stock your basement and make a run to grab this book!" From the Back Cover

Bon Appetite!

Here's a quick preview of the book cover for Bits of the Dead, the zombie horror anthology edited by Keith Gouveia and published by Coscom Entertainment.

Nightmares? Who? Me?

Uh-huh.

My flash fiction short Cemetery will appear in this one, alongside some famous names in the genre. It promises to be an eye-opening (and otherwise gouging) read. I can't wait!

It's out in late July. But you can pre-order HERE.

Updates!

Plenty going on here at the moment, writing-wise, in the world of Robert Appleton. I thought I'd share a few bits of news.

My flash fiction short Cemetery has been contracted to appear in a print anthology, titled Bits of the Dead, for Coscom Entertainment. Other featured authors include Piers Anthony, Nancy Kilpatrick and Adam-Troy Castro. Zombies abound!

Another sci-fi short story, Grandiloquence, will be published as an e-book by Eternal Press. If you enjoy my Cafe on the Edge of Outer Space, due out there on July 7, you'll love the characters and scenario in Grandiloquence. It's definitely one of my best.

Anticipating the release of Esther May Morrow's Buy or Borrow on June 7 (again, at EP), I've been hard at work completing a few more stories in the paranormal series:

Esther May Morrow's Fruitless (novella)
Esther May Morrow's Lot 62 (short story)

and The Temporal Man, the exciting genesis story for this entire series.

Finally, I've just put the finishing touches to part 3 of my Eleven-Hour Fall trilogy, titled Kate of Kratos. The action scenes are even more epic, the alien world throws up more bizarre creatures, and Kate's character really comes into her own. Again, if you like survival stories, and don't mind a dash of romance, this one's for you.

Thanks for reading!

Till next time, respect the unexpected.

Robert Appleton
