    Zombies, cannibalistic swamp-dwellers, and undead alligators munch on anything that moves in this action-soaked gorefest from the popular Zombicide boardgame 
     
     
     
    Being undead isn't anything new for Westlake—former thief and deteriorating Zombivor— until he realizes there's not enough formaldehyde in the world to keep him together. He decides to embark on one last mission into the zombie apocalypse to find a long-lost drug cartel cache which will set his friends up for life. The hitch? It's in Florida. By the time they land in the Everglades, not only is the wildlife a lot wilder and more murderous than usual, but a hurricane looms on the horizon, ready to wipe them from the face of the earth. For Westlake, there is no other choice but to DO OR DIE.

    Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. 
     
    Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life.   
     
    The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
     
    It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
     
    During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. 
     
    Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. 
     
    Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.

    "Pickman's Model" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, written in September 1926 and first published in the October 1927 issue of Weird Tales. It was adapted for television in a 1971 episode of the Night Gallery anthology series, starring Bradford Dillman. The story revolves around a Bostonian painter named Richard Upton Pickman who creates horrifying images. His works are brilliantly executed, but so graphic that they result in the revocation of his membership in the Boston Art Club and he is shunned by his fellow artists. The narrator is a friend of Pickman, who, after the artist's mysterious disappearance, relates to another acquaintance how he was taken on a tour of Pickman's personal gallery, hidden away in a run-down backwater slum of the city. As the two delved deeper into Pickman's mind and art, the rooms seemed to grow ever more evil and the paintings ever more horrific, ending with a final enormous painting of an unearthly, red-eyed and vaguely canine humanoid balefully chewing on a human victim. A noise sent Pickman running outside the room with a gun while the narrator reached out to unfold what looked like a small piece of rolled paper attached to the monstrous painting. The narrator heard some shots and Pickman walked back in with the smoking gun, telling a story of shooting some rats, and the two men departed. Afterwards the narrator realized that he had nervously grabbed and put the rolled paper in his pocket when the shots were fired. He unrolled the paper to reveal that it is a photograph not of the background of the painting, but of the subject. Pickman drew his inspirations not from a diseased imagination, but from monsters that were very much real.

    MOST POPULAR HORROR AUDIOBOOK OF 2023 - We Are Bookish/NetGalley 
    BEST OF 2023: YA HORROR AND DARK FICTION - "I was hugely impressed by Mark Wheaton's WHO HAUNTS YOU... barely a word is wasted in a tight, gripping and highly original supernatural thriller..." -Tony Jones, Ginger Nuts of Horror 
    THE YEAR IN REVIEW 2023 - "Wheaton...has created a first-rate protagonist in the sarcastic, suspicious, and determined Bex. The author takes the book further than one might expect, right up to Bex's psychiatric commitment, and seeing her hang in there until the bitter end, and never give up, is fantastic." -Colleen Mondor, LOCUS

After Bex is visited by a malevolent specter of her own, she must get the bottom of this horror before she’s its next victim... 
    "An utterly readable teen murder tale with an intriguing twist and an endearing hero. Reminiscent of Los Duncan's classic suspense novel I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER..." - Kirkus Reviews 
    "WHO HAUNTS YOU is the first book I've read that not only delivers an unsettling supernatural mystery, but also paints a fully realized, wholly moving portrait of the autistic teenage experience. A vital book that will make any neurodivergent young adult feel seen, heard, and understood." - Craig Perry, producer, Final Destination franchise 
    "I loved it. Wheaton has built a buzzsaw of a supernatural thriller here--scary, surprisingly emotional, and loaded with enough twists to keep you guessing till the final page."- James Vanderbilt, screenwriter, Zodiac
