Sinossi

Some people say proof of man's predatory dominance as a species is not continuously evolving weapon systems but man's prehistoric mastery of the plants, minerals, and animals of his environment;  humanity's innate awareness of nature, the elements, the spirit, of how they combine to make life. Awareness lost to  the continuing war, famine, and plague of ancient history. Awareness symbolized, ritualized, and retained as faith by a surviving prehistoric animistic belief system. Its disciples performed the birthing rite of the ‘ta shen ling‘, the 'she demon', Po Lyn Lee. She is the ‘Mi Chu’, the ‘secret death’. 
Po Lyn Lee "Ophelia House,” a speculative fiction horror fantasy about Po, a she demon conditioned as an assassin, controlled by messages from Grandmother, majesty of a surviving prehistoric secret sisterhood.  At the behest of the East Asian Investment Cartel’s executive board, its member’s puppets on strings pulled by families hidden behind corporate shields, Grandmother sends Po a message.  Po’s job, assassinate United States President Elizabeth Chamberland to end the presidents successful  Independent Self-sustaining Local Economies program and stop the programs equitable of distribution wealth.  However, when Po sees an arbitrary shape resembling the symbology of Grandmother’s messages in a finger painting, Po, enamored by the artist takes a journey of self-discovery amidst the party politics of global elite humans.  Po did not care for humans. Humans were selfish and did not take care of each other.  Humans fought about things they made important but were not.  Nonetheless, Po did not dislike humans.  Humans were plentiful, easy to hunt and nourishing.

    In the last few years to the end of the last star in the universe, galaxies have been destroyed by black holes, which prevail and make the universe a cold and dark place. Humanity explores space in search of a new home before the collapse of the Milky Way until a group of settlers manages to colonize another planet outside the solar system. 
    Technologies to perpetuate memories in robots are developed during the long journey and the human being manages to achieve the dream of immortality! Automata are created to receive the minds of humans in their bodies. But the apparent peace between the colonists ends when disagreements arise from who can be perpetuated and what ideas must be preserved. Issues of identity, loneliness and the difficulty of dealing with changes in body and mind are discussed. 
    Years go by before a theory about parallel universes is put to the test on a mission to study a black hole. A group of robots explores the universe and is about to cross the space/time barrier, in a portal to other worlds. They witness admirable phenomena, only speculated by Science. At the edge, they discover that the transition to other multiverses requires more than technology. Time and space travel reveals more about their alter egos than events that occur in other dimensions. Trapped in space and time, travelers fail to draw on the forces of nature and the past that hold them back. How to break free from the past? What to do not to experience death and be swallowed by the emptiness of existence?

    Experience the zombie apocalypse with this illustrated survivor’s journal full of chilling tales of terror. 
     
    The year is 2012, and what starts as a pervasive and inexplicable illness ends up as a zombie infestation that devastates the world’s population. Taking the form of a biologist’s illustrated journal found in the aftermath of the attack, this pulse-pounding, suspenseful tale of zombie apocalypse follows the narrator as he flees from city to countryside and heads north to Canada, where he hopes the undead will be slowed by the colder climate. Encountering scattered humans and scores of the infected along the way, he fills his notebook with graphic drawings of the zombies and careful observations of their behavior, along with terrifying tales of survival that will keep readers on the edge of their seats right up to the very end. 
     
    Praise for Zombies 
     
    “Influenced by Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend, Zombies is a genuinely chilling and logical look at a zombie invasion. The matter-of-fact descriptions of the symptoms and effects, coupled with the detailed drawings of both victims and scenarios make it a creepy read . . . . A tremendous addition to any zombie book collection.” —Sfcrowsnest
