THE DEAD HAVE RISEN!
Colin McCoy coasts through southeastern Ohio on his pontoon boat named ALICIA to avoid the walking dead. He’s not just looking for a way out of a danger zone but he’s carrying a tremendous weight on his shoulders that he could never shake off. To pay the price for his guilt, he will remain a shadow of his former self.
When he bumps into a teenage girl named Stacey, her little brother Jason and her baby sister Rosie in an abandoned restaurant, they ask him for safe passage out of Ohio and into a safe zone inside the heart of Texas. After he is left stranded, he must lead the stranded kids along with a local cop, a cook and a gangster’s girlfriend across a dead and empty city where the stakes have never been higher.
"Dead River is red meat for zombie enthusiasts. The cruel realities of an apocalyptic future test Collin McCoy's resourcefulness, sanity, and his sense of decency. It's hard to be a good guy in a world full of rot."
-Donna J. W. Munro, author of the Poppet Cycle Series.
"A frightening, gory, and full speed ahead zombie novel. This book doesn't give you a chance to rest as the dangers are around every corner. Each page feels like it could be the last for the characters as the threats lob in from the living and the undead alike. A blood soaked, rampaging, and non-stop thrill ride that will leave you breathless."
Dave from Horror Reads
"Brian J. Smith fully immerses the reader in the zombie apocalypse with his latest novel, Dead River. Every gritty detail is laid out in this dog-eat-dog universe. Fear, gore, and constant threats from the living and the dead keep Collin McCoy on his toes (and sometimes on his a--). With real people fighting to survive, Smith holds nothing back to keep the stakes high and the tension palpable.Be ready to get slapped in the face by the sights, sounds (and smells) woven into Smith’s graphic narrative in Dead River."
Dacia Arnold, author of Sunday School Crossing
Can he brush away the guilt that eats away at him and save these people or will they become another victim of his past?
