DEAD AMERICA is a 65,000 word adult fiction novel, available shortly via Severed Press.

Part detective noir, part horror, and all satire, the novel is the bastard child of Raymond Chandler, George Romero and George Orwell.

This website is the multimedia version of the novel. Here you'll find samples of the manuscript, para-fiction pieces that flesh out the 'dead world', and everything a zombie needs to live in Dead America.

IDAHO: Mother burns dead children, self An Idaho mother made a bed for her three newly dead children before dousing them in petrol, lying down beside them and lighting a match.

PI Jon Faraday thought finding a runaway girl would be easy money. But when the girl turns up dead - the first American to be really, truly dead in decades - Faraday must put aside his lifist bigotry and hit the streets to find her killer. With the help of a decapitated zombie named Dorothy, a necrophilic pathologist, and an undead reporter that would give her right arm (literally) for a story, Faraday must discover why the runaway girl didn't relive after she died. And he better be quick before the ever-present distrust between the living and the dead explodes into a lifism riot that could burn New York City to the ground.
