There's a mean doll, a box full of bones-and newspaper clippings, a bank robbery gone horribly wrong-for almost everyone. Daddy's last train, and the train Uncle Frank catches again and again, a haunted carousel that sparks up the night, an alien abduction, a meeting with the evil Lilith. Foxes. A girl you wouldn't want to meet in a bar-if you value your ink, a drug of the future with certain finality about it. Many graves dug, barns to die in, and ghosts and more ghosts. Seep into this book.

Filled with monstrous entities from the deep, both real and fabled, and sailed by marauding pirate ships with bloodthirsty souls looking to plunder and destroy. The great briny blue of the ocean is one of the most terrifying places imaginable. With almost three quarters of the Earth covered by sea, this vast expanse is home to myriad horrors. From hundreds of fathoms down, or lurking just beneath the surface, to brazenly navigating the nautical domain, these deadly threats are just waiting for unsuspecting souls to take to the waters. So come on, take the plunge. Dive on in. The water is fine. What exists within, it is another story.

Notions of the undead have fascinated and terrified humanity for centuries, and none more so than those tales revolving around zombies.

Now, as their hordes increase and their hungers grow, the undead plagues cannot be stopped. It isn't just a case of no room left on Earth. The apocalypse is here, and it's time for humanity to abdicate their positions as rulers of the planet to those monstrous reanimated ghouls from the tomb. Humans have had their day.Time's up. The world belongs to the zombies now. It's zero hour.
