We recently told you about the new zombie novel, The Hand That Feeds, in our Indie Spotlight. The novel was just released by Severed Press and we’ve been provided with an excerpt for Daily Dead readers to check out.
“John and Angela Mason’s lives are brought to a tormenting halt when their ten year old son is reduced to a lifeless shell. John watches his wife slip into madness as his son rises from the dead. He realizes they must escape the terrifying infection in order to survive but how can he choose between the insanity consuming his wife and the undying hunger of his son.”
Excerpt from The Hand That Feeds, by Michael W. Garza
“They crept down the hall on their hands and knees. The scratching grew louder. Two distinct shadows formed in the space beneath the bedroom door. Alex was standing there and both John and Angela knew it.
