From Noodles author Jay Gould, a horror adventure that brings the monstrous madness of DOOM to JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH; in which after an explosion destroys a drilling rig, an expert drill engineer joins an expedition down the hole the rig has opened up: a tunnel to a demon-infested world that clearly influenced ancient art and may be literal Hell.
Raising Hell is a dark, humorous tale of a man who wakes up on a rickety boat, captained by a monster from Hell. Throw in a demon with a peculiar affliction, a feisty demon mother, a case of mistaken identity, and a mission against impossible odds, and you've got yourself a roller coaster ride bound for Hell.
When an innocent man is killed something is released on a small town and no one can stop it. Who will survive? ARIOCH: Demon of Vengeance now available to read now at Amazon for Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. Check out the book's trailer below

They'll have to be smart, they'll have to be strong, and they'll have to be every bit as ruthless as the swarm, but even as Mason and Mackenzie battle their way from one horror to the next in a desperate flight through a world gone mad, they both know that their time is running out.
The virus isn't done yet. Stage 3 is coming, and things are about to get a whole lot worse.

Book Excerpt:
"As he leaned over his journal and tried to concentrate on his work, Royal could feel “The Presence” standing behind him. He called it The Presence because it was always with him, and he didn’t know another name for it. When he was little, his mother told him it was the Lord watching over him, protecting him. He believed her when he was little. As he grew older and began to understand and trust his own senses, he stopped believing her. The Presence didn’t feel protective at all, nor did it reassure him in any way. Its proximity made him feel ill-at-ease."

EXCERPT
...As Josh whimpered and pleaded for mercy a dark scaly finger was put to his lips.
Josh looked up into a pair of red eyes with a lizard-like pupils as he heard the voice again.
“I take vengeance.”
Josh began to cry as the thing hugged him, tighter and tighter. Josh gasped before screaming as his torso was torn from his legs.

The plot was interesting, fast paced and accentuated with a wicked twist at the end...Myra
I love how the author creates twists and turns to keep the reader interested until the end...Kat.
Check out my interview with Rich Hawkins. The author of The Last Plague. (TDWS is short for The Dead War Series)
Rich Hawkins: I’ve loved horror since I was a young lad, especially horror books. At school I started writing a few short stories, but never finished them, and I drifted away from wanting to be a writer. But it was always in the back of my mind and I would often think of ideas and stories; I just never had the self-discipline to sit down and write them. And in my teenage years and early-to-mid-twenties I was more interested in getting drunk and having a good time. That changed when I met my then-girlfriend (now my wife), and she bought me a copy of Stephen King’s ‘Pet Cemetery’ for Christmas. The book, coupled with her encouragement, made me get my head down and start a novel. It was called ‘Ghost of You’, a supernatural thriller, and it was awful and never got published. But it reignited my desire to write stories…and then I went on from there.
TDWS: Why write in the zombie genre?Rich Hawkins: Ever since I saw Romero’s ‘Dawn of the Dead’ on late-night TV, when I was fifteen, I’ve been interested in zombies and how they can be used in stories. After watching DOTD, I discovered NOTLD and it went on from there. And then 28 Days Later arrived, and with the explosion of the zombie’s popularity at that time, I was absolutely hooked. The release of 2004’s Dawn of the Dead and later Shaun of the Dead, ensured I was smitten.
When I first started taking writing seriously, it never occurred to me to write a zombie novel. And later, when zombies had become mainstream, I was reluctant to write about zombies/infected, because it seemed like everyone was writing a zombie story, and I didn’t want to get lost in the horde. That changed in 2012, when I decided to write a novel about four old friends caught in the chaos of an apocalypse – I just didn’t know what would cause the apocalypse. Then I got the idea of a virus that mutates people and turns them into ferocious cannibals whose only instincts are to infect and feed, and that idea became ‘The Last Plague’.
I love zombies/virus/infected/end of the world stories, so it made sense to actually write one instead of daydreaming about it.
TDWS: Let's get to your book. What's it about? Is it a series?Rich Hawkins: The Last Plague is a novel about four old friends who go on a stag weekend (what people in the US would call a bachelor party?) to an isolated cottage in the English countryside. When they leave the cottage and set off to return to their home village on the other side of the country, they find abandoned cars and deserted houses. They have no idea what’s happening until they’re attacked by people infected with some unknown virus, and the friends realise that a horrific epidemic has hit Great Britain. They have to make the long journey home to reach their families as the country descends into chaos. The novel has recently been shortlisted for Best Horror Novel at this year’s British Fantasy Awards.
I intended it as a trilogy – the sequel, ‘The Last Outpost’ is released in September, and I’m currently writing the third novel, ‘The Last Soldier’.
TDWS: As I'm sure you know there are thousands of zombie books out there right now. What makes yours stand out?Rich Hawkins: Hopefully the nature of the virus and the hints of cosmic horror in the background of the story make it stand out a little bit. My infected aren’t zombies, as they’re still alive, and they share some similarities with the alien creature in John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’. Plus I hope the central relationship between the old friends resonates with readers.
TDWS: What's the cause of the zombie apocalypse in your book/books?Rich Hawkins: I left it ambiguous in The Last Plague, although there are a few hints. More is explained about the virus in The Last Outpost. I wanted to keep it a mystery, so the reader could relate to the situation the characters are in, and feel their confusion as they try to survive in a world that’s gone to hell.
TDWS: Are your zombies the fast or slow moving type?Rich Hawkins: They’re fast – but some of them who’ve been injured tend to be a bit slower. Varying degrees really. Some of them crawl or skitter about on all fours. They’re still bound to the limits of the host body’s condition. They’re not superhuman. I tried to mix it up.
TDWS: Are you trying to make any greater point with your books or just write a good zombie story?Rich Hawkins: My main aim is to write a story people will enjoy, with an interesting plot and characters, and hopefully give it some layers, with themes of grief, loss, death and mass extinction. Different readers will have varying views on whether I succeed with that. Different people look for different things in the stories they read, I think.
TDWS: Do you have an online presence? If so where? Blogs, web sites, Twitter, Facebook, etc.Rich Hawkins: Yes, I’m on Facebook and Twitter. I also have a blog, but it’s a bit underused at the moment and I tend to announce any book news on Facebook and Twitter. Drop by and say hello!
TDWZS (The Dead War Zombie Series):
Jeffrey Littorno: What inspired you to become an author? Well, I’m not sure I was inspired as much as just knew that I was a good writer and enjoyed creat-ing a good story. Of course, life has a way of getting in the way of writing. But over the last few years, I have made sure that nothing stopped me from finishing a few books.
TDWZS: Why write in the zombie genre?
Jeffrey Littorno: Like many people, I was scared sleepless by Romero’s original Night of the Living Dead. And I guess that excitement never left me. The reemergence of the genre with 28 Days Later and The Walking Dead gave me a strong nudge in the direction of the undead.
TDWZS: Lets's get to the The Most Uncommon Cold series.What's the series about? How many books are there in the series?
Jeffrey Littorno: The series is told from the point of view of Kevin Turner, a newspaper reporter. When the books start, he is investigating a riot at SFO. Of course, everything goes off the rails from there. The second book Surviving in the Time of Zombies comes out on September 13th, and I am currently working on the third and last book.
TDWZS: As I'm sure you know there are thousands of zombie books out there right now. What makes yours stand out?
Jeffrey Littorno: Other than the great characters and story? Well, I hope that The Most Uncommon Cold books stand out because they focus on the interaction between people and their reaction to the zombie and let that drive the action. I think zombie books are most engaging when they focus on the smaller, more personal view rather than the huge picture.
TDWZS: What's the cause of the zombie apocalypse in your books?
Jeffrey Littorno: As the title gives away, the zombie apocalypse is brought on by a new strain of the cold. The idea that the apocalypse could be caused by something seemingly innocuous as a cold truly frightens me.
TDWZS: Are your zombies the fast or slow moving type?
Jeffrey Littorno: I split the difference on speed. Newly-created zombies are fast and have some language ability. However, as the disease progresses over time, the zombies become slower and possess less in the way of intellectual skills.
TDWZS: Are you trying to make any greater point with your books or just write a good zombie story?
Jeffrey Littorno: I set out just to write a good story. Of course, as I am writing, some greater points occur to me. To tell the truth, when I started writing the first book, my plan was that the zombies were just going to be inside of the narrator’s head. Later, I realized that this would make a strong point about our isolationism in the real world. A few readers have commented that they didn’t know if the narrator was insane or not, which is because I didn’t know either until about halfway through writing the book. I read a review that credited me with a number of deeper concepts that I really hadn’t consciously considered. Nice to be given credit though!
TDWZS: Do you have an online presence? If so where? Blogs, web sites, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
Jeffrey Littorno: I have a few spots online.
