'In-Progress' Cover Reveal... Zombies!


Here's a partially-finished cover for an upcoming release...

At this moment, anything might change about the cover - but I liked it enough to want to share.

The story is currently in-progress too and is proving to be quite fun. Here's the opening lines (draft version):

Hiding in the darkness, I heard the sickening sound of teeth crunching through a human skull...

Some people are torn with disbelief at how the dead began to rise four years earlier. My own disbelief was how the dead came back stronger. In a common-sense reality, dead tissue should be weak due to decomposition; the sinews should snap like old string; the muscles should disintegrate; the bones should break easily... In our nightmarish world, the rotting cadavers were stronger than they had been in life. I’d seen a reanimated little old lady tear a man’s arm off as if it was plucking a feather from a bird. What made them so impossibly strong and tenacious? And why hadn’t they rotted to oblivion during the last four years?

There was a much bigger question, of course. One which overshadowed the rising dead and their strength... What the hell had made the earth bleed before the dead rose?
