What do all undead have in common...across all genres and stories? The obvious answer is they are dead. It’s just how they became zombies that varies. Zombies are also gruesome, bloodthirsty killing machines, even if some of these machines are more efficient than others. Another commonality is that all undead have an insatiable appetite for human flesh, even if this flesh does them no good and most of it just falls out of their mouths or assorted holes in their bodies. Further, all undead are in various states of decay or damage. But, whether bloodied, broken, or rotting, the undead’s rates of movement (and attack) are not consistent. But, beyond these superficial traits, what else do zombies have in common? What else makes a zombie a zombie? The answer you need to know is this.... All zombies, no matter the genre or source, never, ever stop. Despite all reason, despite all laws to the contrary, zombies never quit or tire. What would a world with zombies be like, a world where the undead’s drive to eat and kill could never be slaked and their motion never stopped? Perhaps this world would be a utopia. And not just for the zombies. Zombies Forever is a short story of roughly five thousand words.

A woman who can talk to zombies. A sheriff who knows more than he's letting on. A murder. Hollows Grove is full of secrets. My name is Harlynn, and three months ago, I woke up in the small town of Hollows Grove with no recollection of who I am and surrounded by zombies no one else could see. I may have lost it right then and there, but thankfully, a snarky woman named Miss May took me in and helped me get onto my feet. Now I spend my time attempting to live a semi-normal life while trying to ignore the pesky zombies that won't seem to leave me alone.

Fallen gods. Cloned queens. Psychokinetic squirrels. Atomic werewolves. Hippie zombies. Jell-O monsters. Butter monsters. Booger monsters. An army of philosophers bent on world domination. A cybernetically-enhanced donut maker. The horned-up ghosts of elderly lady serial killers. The frozen head of Walt Sidney. Earthquakes. Fire tornados. A global volcanic winter. A supermassive extradimensional black hole. Dr. Vanilla Ice II. And that's literally not even the half of it. Five books. Seventeen stories. More f-bombs than Microsoft Word can count. Ten years of EXPONENTIAL APOCALYPSE are collected into a single volume, an omnibus that, like a stoner's rug, ties everything together, from the first doomsday to the very last. THE END OF EVERYTHING FOREVER is a fifty-year epic of extinction events, the genre-spanning saga of a planet in perpetual peril, a world that can't seem to stop itself from ending – and all the nihilists and nutcases, the anti-heroes and con artists and mad scientists and slackers, that keep trying to save it. Even if it is only because there’s nothing on TV that day. With a foreword by Danger Slater. "If The Avengers was written by Terry Pratchett and directed by Kevin Smith, you might end up in the same dimension as the Exponential Apocalypse series." – Kat Clay, Radiant Attack
