  Enjoy this short story by Mace Styx. 
  "Don’t be a fool! There’s no such thing as aliens, Roxy” Branden said in a tight, strangled voice. “Let’s get Frank out of this damn water." He wrapped his arms around Frank who was now moaning and wailing like a baby. 
  They all surrounded Frank. Gathering their strength, they heaved him up, and as they began to make their way towards shore. They all heard another thunder-like ricochet. But this time, it was multiple ones, and they were undoubtedly fired at them. They froze in shock as they looked up towards the sky. Racing at them, with menacing swiftness, was a plethora of laser beams. Roxy was the first to realize what was going on. 
  "I don't know what that thing is, but it wants to kill us." She wailed. "Guys, run."

  Since the beginning of human interaction, there have been storytellers who have spun tales to inspire and capture the imagination. In homage to Golding's Lord of the Flies and the act of flinging a gauntlet before a duel, these two writers, Gordon Bonnet, and Marlon S. Hayes, have shown their multi-genre talents. 
  Two guys in a bar, grandmas, fathers and sons, and myths are a few of the themes in this collection, and the results are noteworthy, entertaining, and soul filling. What if an opportunity arose to have a conversation with one's younger self? Or, what if the pictures on the wall started whispering warnings? Ever imagined how an orc might view humans? What about an epic road trip across America's heartland where anger and grief also ride along? Exactly. 
  It's a duel of well-written short stories, with each writer inspiring the other to continue to ascend with their storytelling skills. It's not a competition, simply an acknowledgement of each other's talents.

  “A cracking start to a dramatic trilogy . . . a gruesome, fast-paced story which ticks all the boxes whilst avoiding the usual zombie cliches.” —David Moody, author of Hater 
   
  The end of the world is not glamorous. 
   
  In a matter of days the human race is reduced to nothing more than vicious, flesh hungry creatures. 
   
  A criminal defense attorney, Samson, struggles to keep his family safe and his sanity intact when the world comes apart at the seams. Veronica, the high school track star, races to get her brother out of their doomed city. Ben, a military veteran, is forced to come to grips with the end of the world as he fights the undead. Andrew, a police officer, struggles to maintain some sort of humanity in a world overrun by death and destruction. 
   
  There are no heroes here, just survivors, and they all have one thing in common: who you once were can no longer determine who you will be in the face of catastrophe. 
   
  The Breadwinner thrusts you head first into post-apocalyptic Northwest Florida and will leave you craving more. 
   
  “A gleefully dark and twisted tale of a uniquely American suburban nightmare.” —Manuscripts Burn 
   
  “A fast-paced, fun, quick read that you won’t be able to put down. Rich with character development, Kopas will leave you eagerly anticipating the next release in the trilogy.” —Shana Festa, author of Time of Death: Asylum 
   
    
   
  “Drama, death, and well-placed headshots abound in this exciting novel by Stevie Kopas. If you like zombie fiction, The Breadwinner will become a treasured part of your collection.” —Jim Dodge, Mass Movement Magazine

  First Love Last Rites

  Ian McEwan

  Somerset Maugham Award winner: Dark early fiction by the author of Nutshell—“A splendid magician of fear” (The Village Voice Literary Supplement).   Taut, brooding, and densely atmospheric, the stories here show us how murder can arise out of boredom, perversity from adolescent curiosity—and how sheer evil can become the solution to unbearable loneliness.   These short fiction pieces from the early career of the New York Times–bestselling and Man Booker Prize–winning author of Atonement and On Chesil Beach are claustrophobic tales of childhood, twisted psychology, and disjointed family life as terrifying as anything by Stephen King—and finely crafted with a lyricism and an intensity that compels us to confront our secret kinship with what repels us.   “A powerful talent that is both weird and wonderful.” —The Boston Sunday Globe   “Ian McEwan’s fictional world combin[es] the bleak, dreamlike quality of de Chirico’s city-scapes with the strange eroticism of canvases by Balthus. Menace lies crouched between the lines of his neat, angular prose, and weird, grisly things occur in his books with nearly casual aplomb.” —The New York Times
