Permuted Press has quickly established itself over the past few years as the leading small press specializing in zombie literature with authors such as Dr. Kim Paffenroth, J. L. Bourne and Derek Gunn. Always seeking new ways to deliver to its ravenous audience the most current and innovative new voices in the genre, Permuted Press is now unleasing a series of novellas from the zombie master Eric S. Brown entitled Season of Rot! If you're a zombiephile looking of an excellent series for your summer reading, this may be exactly what you've been searching for. The plot of each novella is as follows:

SEASON OF ROT: Safe from the walking dead that rule the streets, a band of survivors holes up in a hospital. When their supplies run low, they must either migrate or trust a stranger who promises them salvation-except the stranger isn't who he seems to be, and neither are the dead.

THE QUEEN: To escape a plague that has turned most of mankind into ravenous cannibals, a crew of survivors takes refuge at sea. But supplies only last so long, and the crew must face their enemies on land in order to keep themselves alive and afloat.

THE WAVE: When a wave of mysterious energy from outer space washes over the earth, electronic devices fail worldwide and communications break down. Worse still, the energy alters human brain waves and turns billions of people into bloodthirsty animals. Only a small pocket of humanity is immune, but their only chance of survival may also be their grave.

DEAD WEST: The Civil War is over. The Confederacy is gone. But in the West, a new threat is rising. Accompanied by a regiment of inexperienced soldiers, a journalist ventures into the front lines of a war against the walking dead, and the truth he finds there is far more frightening than any living corpse.

RATS: Rats are everywhere and can get into anything. And now they are swarming mankind. Those bit rise again as undead pawns in the rodents' onslaught, and no place is safe-no place except one. The problem is getting there before the rats' next attack.

Eric S. Brown's series of novellas is currently available for purchase on Amazon or via the Permuted Press website permutedpress.com.
