Hollywood California, Swimming pools, movie stars… and now the risen dead
Hollywood can be a difficult place to grow up, especially if you’re Kristine Golden, a fifteen-year-old necromancer with a sworn duty to lay the risen dead back to rest and no desire to be in the movie business.
When handsome deadie Alex Romero swaggers into her life, Kris must keep her promise, despite her growing feelings for him. If that’s not enough to give a girl a headache, a murderous zombie comes knocking at Kris’ door, rocking her world and threatening her family.
Can Kris solve the mystery of the rampaging zombie before someone else winds up dead? Or will the walking dead take over Hollywood and turn it into… Hollyweird?
Okay!!!! So FIRST, I have to say that E. Van Lowe is one of my favorite people in the entire freaking world! No… Seriously. He rocks my face off hardcore.
While graphic covers aren’t always my fav, I do like this one a lot!!!! I think it’s wicked cute and really well done!!! It says, “The Zombie Always Knocks Twice is super fun, hilarious and ready to make a statement”!!! Kinda like E. Van Lowe himself!!!
I have been WAITING and WAITING and WAITING for The Zombie Always Knocks Twice forEVER! Well okay… A few months- because I only just heard about it in April! But, I have been DYING to read it since Rusty Fischer (Zombies Don’t Cry and Vamplayers) dangled it in front of me!!!
When E contacted me and said it was releasing on Aug 30, and I could do an exclusive cover reveal.. Um… EPIC WIN!!!!!! Right? This only cements his awesome!
E. Van Lowe was a guest on Zombie Craze 2012 (duh… All the epic zombie authors are.) and he gave us a super special sneak peek of The Zombie Always Knocks Twice!
The Zombie Always Knocks Twice
(excerpt…)
The man coming up the block toward us in the hooded sweatshirt stopped directly in our path, about ten feet away. The hood dropped revealing his face. The hair on the left side of his head had been shaved off revealing tiny bits of bony white scalp. Huge staples held his crooked jaw in place. There was a large indentation in his forehead from some sort of blunt force impact. His left eye was covered with a milky, white cataract, and the right drooped unnaturally into his cheek.
My breath caught yet again. Standing before us was a zombie.
“LEAVE US ALONE!” he screeched. Then he took off on a dead run and plowed into Alex with the impact a freight train.
Just great, I thought. Hollyweird—where the dead come out to play.
