    Sometimes . . . science goes wrong.

    Death.
    Destruction.
    Zombies.

    Featuring the terrifying tales of 13 authors, Dead Science brings you stories of the undead unlike any you’ve ever read before. Prepare to go behind-the-scenes and learn about the causes of various zombie uprisings and the havoc these creatures wreak upon the living.

    The Magic Man comes when you least expect him. Give him what he wants and he’ll grant you your heart’s desire, but are you prepared to pay the price?

    A mother of two is en route to take her kids to the babysitter’s when darkness envelops her car and covers the world in blacks and grays.

    No matter how many times Sharon tries to beat the Spinning Room, someone always dies, unless she can find a way to conquer this tower of terror once and for all.

    Jimmy learns plenty about his life when he encounters an evil version of himself in his car’s rearview mirror.

    A trip out to the family cabin is not what it seems and cigarette-loving Robert is granted the chill of his life.

    Father Haldo has heard every sin imaginable. He just wasn’t prepared to enter Booth 2 for this particular round of confessions.

    Bernie Calhoun knows nightmares, and the one he had about the Man in the Woods when he was a boy still haunts him to this day. To make matters worse, he realizes he might have brought something back with him into the real world long ago.

  • A Red Dark Night: A Novel of Blood, Gore and Terror

    A Red Dark Night

    A Red Dark Night: A Novel of Blood, Gore and Terror

    “Fuchs is an exceptionally fluid writer with a keen inventiveness and proficiency sadly lacking in the works of many writers of today.” – Nicholas Grabowsky, author of Halloween IV and The Everborn

    Many summers ago, an evil presence known as a Bloodan visited Camp Silverway, a peaceful summer camp for teenage girls, and nearly killed a young girl named Shelly. Mary Thompson, a girl on a bunk bed near Shelly, watched as the creature made from blood and darkness, began to sink into Shelly and begin to feed.

    Through tears and cloudy vision, she also saw her friend rescued by a stranger in a black cape, with blue fire blasting from his hand.

    Never forgetting that night, Mary was tormented for years by the memory of what she saw, and now, twenty-two years later, she has returned to Camp Silverway as a camp counselor, trying to face her fear.

    However, what starts out as a fun summer soon comes to an end when not one, but several Bloodans return to the camp and begin killing again. As before, the man in the black cape, Tarek, reappears, yet he hasn’t aged a day since he rescued Shelly long ago.

    Shock upon shock ensues as Mary learns not only where the creatures and her hero come from, but also when. The Bloodans enclose the camp in a liquid red dome made of blood, and as everyone around her gets killed and the monsters multiply, Mary, her friend Sarah, and Tarek are left with no place to go.

    Except for maybe one.

    This is A Red Dark Night.

    Memories of Death (Blood of my World Trilogy, Book 2)

    Memories of Death

    “A refreshing teen fantasy full of bite, blood and romance.” — K.H. Koehler, author of Raiju

    Now submerged in the world of vampire slaying, Rose must come to terms with what that means for her relationship with Zach and if it’s even possible for the two of them to be together.

    Meanwhile, every moment spent with Rose helps bridge the gaps in Zach’s memory, reminding him how much they meant to each other in their former life.

    Rose’s father, Marcus, is now even more dedicated to purging the Earth of the undead, so much so he’s willing to kill the only boy Rose had ever loved to help make the world a safer place for her.

    Likewise, a plot is in play to infiltrate the Slayer Order, even at the expense of a loved one.

    The countdown begins and Zach and Rose must come to a decision as to where their loyalties lie, or if they’re going to put each other above all else and face the consequences together.

    Discovery of Death (Blood of my World Trilogy, Book 1)

    Discovery of Death

    “A refreshing teen fantasy full of bite, blood and romance.” — K.H. Koehler, author of Raiju

    Zach and Rose had fallen in love during their sophomore year, their worlds completely changed and utterly belonging to each other’s. It was the first time either had fallen in love, deeply, purely. Aiming for a future together, plans were interrupted when Zach went missing for three long months, leaving Rose distraught, heartbroken and depressed.

    Zach awakens in the dark of a coffin, his memory erased, his life and feelings for Rose forgotten. A strange group of people who identify themselves as his family reveal he has become a vampire, one of the undead, and is now a being with incredible power and a thirst for blood.

    However, during Zach’s absence, Rose learns of her own secret heritage: she comes from a long line of vampire slayers, hellbent on eradicating the unholy threat of the undead from the face of the Earth. Now, not only does she need to try and get over the young man she loves, she must also come to terms with her new life and what that means for her future.

    It is only when her path accidentally crosses with Zach’s does lost love begin to surface again.
