The Dead Travel Fast: Stalking Vampires from Nosferatu to Count Chocula
by Eric NuzumFrom the Book jacket: THE DEAD TRAVEL FAST is about vampires, death, chickens, fear, things that smell bad, the love of a good woman, and germs...but mostly it's about vampires. The undead are everywhere. They're not just in movies and books, but in commercials, fetish clubs, and even your breakfast cereal. If you look, you'll discover that bloodsuckers have gone from guest spots in rural folktales to becoming some of the most recognizable bad guys in the modern world. Eric Nuzum wanted to find out how and why this happened. And he found the answer in goth clubs, darkened parks, haunted houses, and...chain restaurants. Nuzum was willing to do whatever it took to better understand the vampire phenomenon. He traveled across Transylvania on a tour hosted by Butch Patrick (a.k.a. Eddie Munster), sat through Las Vegas's only topless vampire revue, hung out with assorted shady characters, and spent hours in a coffin. He even drank his own blood-just one more step in his quest to understand the weird, offbeat world of vampires and the people who love them. The Dead Travel Fast is the hilarious result of this bloody, gory, and often foolhardy journey. With his unmatched firsthand experience, Eric Nuzum delivers a wide-ranging look at vampires in pop culture, from Bram to Bela to Buffy, and at what vampires and vampirism have come to mean to us today. And the blood? Let's just say it doesn't go with eggs. ERIC NUZUM is a recovering pop culture critic, VHI pundit, and author of Parental Advisory: Music Censorship in America. He writes a lot of inane stuff that falls somewhere between the styles of Ted Kaczynski and Robert Frost, with a dash of inappropriate jokes thrown in for good measure. Nuzum was awarded the 2002 RTNDA National Edward R. Murrow Award for newswriting, and his work has appeared in a few publications you've heard of and many more that you haven't. He works for National Public Radio in Washington, D.C, and lives with his wife in that same general area. He opines regularly on his Web site, at www.ericnuzum.com.

The Deading
by Nicholas Belardes&“Dystopian eco-horror that perfectly balances social critique, lyricism and ghastliness. It&’s a claustrophobic mosaic of a novel, and an outstanding debut." —New York Times Book Review Stephen King&’s Under the Dome meets The Last of Us in this harrowing dystopian novel about the downward spiral of a seaside town that becomes infected by a mysterious ocean-borne contagion.If you want to stay, you have to die. In a small fishing town known for its aging birding community and the local oyster farm, a hidden evil emerges from the depths of the ocean. It begins with sea snails washing ashore, attacking whatever they cling to. This mysterious infection starts transforming the wildlife, the seascapes, and finally, the people. Once infected, residents of Baywood start &“deading&”: collapsing and dying, only to rise again, changed in ways both fanatical and physical. As the government cuts the town off from the rest of the world, the uninfected, including the introverted bird-loving Blas and his jaded older brother Chango, realize their town could be ground zero for a fundamental shift in all living things. Soon, disturbing beliefs and autocratic rituals emerge, overseen by the death-worshiping Risers. People must choose how to survive, how to find home, and whether or not to betray those closest to them. Stoked by paranoia and isolation, tensions escalate until Blas, Chango, and the survivors of Baywood must make their escape or become subsumed by this terrifying new normal. At points claustrophobic and haunting, soulful and melancholic, The Deading lyrically explores the disintegration of society, the horror of survival and adaptation, and the unexpected solace found through connections in nature and between humans.
