A while back there was this outbreak, followed shortly
thereafter by the recently dead seething out of morgues and hospitals. That's
why the walking dead are called 'seethers'. And the disease isn't spread just
by bites from these risen dead, oh no. Mosquitoes can also spread the illness,
so mosquito repellent is worth its weight in gold. So, it's half-past the
middle of the apocalypse, and a man sends a policeman to help his wife and
three little girls. Back home with the family, it's not all roses and sunshine.
The baby girl is sick, and the mom has taken her to get help, leaving the two
older girls alone. Well, alone except for their brave dog, Rascal. Then, as if
things couldn't possibly get worse—they do. Will the policeman escape the horde
of ravening seethers and make it out of town? Does the drunk he stumbles across
really know a secret? Does the mom find help for her oddly cold and
unresponsive baby? And what about the two girls left alone, with only a small
dog for protection? THE SEETHING. A new kind of horror….

“A
Zombie Apocalypse That’s Fun To Read.”
Jack Randall is in the city
for medical supplies for his youngest daughter, but the streets are packed with
the living dead, zombies seeking ripe flesh to eat. Before he can obtain the
medicine, the zombies are upon him. But a policeman comes to his rescue,
killing the dead a second time. It doesn’t help, however, as one bites Jack,
turning him into a living dead also. Now the cop must kill him. Jack, before
dying tells the cop to see after his wife and daughters, not knowing the secret
the policeman carries.
I don’t normally read
zombies, werewolves, vampires, and horror novels, but anything that K.G. McAbee
writes is going to be good. Plus, I’ve read Jim Johnson’s work before also, and
knew this was going to be a story with a plot, action, and good writing. I
wasn’t disappointed. The story never slowed down, the zombies plodded forward
always after ripe flesh, and little could stop them. I knew going into the
story that there would be few, if any survive by the end, but there is always
hope, even in a zombie apocalypse. Highly recommended for the horror genre, and
readers who just love a well-crafted yarn.
