April 18, 2019

We are super excited to be part of the Book Tour for OTHER THAN, a thrilling gaslamp fantasy by Mia Jo Celeste. The new audiobook version is now available. Check it out!

Genre: Gaslamp Fantasy, Paranormal Historical Romance
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Publication Date: January 27, 2017

Other Than #PNR A purgatory as dangerous as Dr. Moreau’s Island with zombies and romance.

It only takes one drink from the Water of Immortality to kill Evie Woods—halfway. Trapped in undead flesh, the world’s last skin-slider wakens on an island purgatory where a cursed spring bubbles with immortality, and zombie cannibals crave living flesh.

Her only hope of escape rests in the hands of the one man who would see her fail. Bound to her by cords stronger than death, Lord Victor Lowell is both the man of her dreams, and her darkest nightmares. Contrary and intractable, Victor preys on others to maintain his angelic charisma and preternatural prowess. Drawn to the compellingly gallant and vulnerable soul behind his mercurial humors, Evie can only watch as protecting her forces Victor to sacrifice yet more of himself to the ancient evil long tethered to his soul.

Trapped in an ever-escalating war they can’t stop, Victor and Evie fight time for a cure, but as the long days pass blackness tears at Evie, ripping her thoughts from her one memory at a time. Victor will to do whatever it takes to prevent her from deteriorating into a rotting husk, even if it means dooming himself, but Evie won’t surrender his soul without a fight. Battle lines drawn, the soul mates resolve to find redemption or die trying.

Guest Post by Mia Jo Celeste

Zombies on the Brain
Ever notice the more you think about something, the more you encounter that thing? Like on a road trip when your kids play punch-buggy, a game where fists connect with shoulders upon spotting a Volkswagen, and suddenly Volkswagens are in the lanes next to you, parked along the street, waiting at stop signs—everywhere. The same phenomenon is happening to me.

A couple of Januarys ago, I finished a novel that featured a zombie heroine called Other Than. This spring I’ve got zombies on the brain. They are everywhere. In libraries my eyes alight on zombie books. My fellow staff members mention zombies in their diner blogs and my son picks zombie flicks for family movie night. But I don’t think I’m alone in this fascination for the walking dead.

Believe it or not there are a lot of movies that feature shambling, animated corpses. Wikipedia lists almost 500. My list of zombie movies is shorter. For other undead fans, I offer 13 favorites.

1. Plan Nine from Other Space
2. White Zombie
3. Land of the Dead
4. Fido
5. Day of the Dead
6. Dawn of the Dead
7. Shawn of the Dead
8. Night of the Living Dead
9. Brain Dead
10. Zombie Land
11. The Crazies
12. Resident Evil (Afterlife, Apocalypse, Degeneration, and Extinction)
13. I Am Legend or its previous incarnations Omega Man and The Last Man on Earth

What about you? Are you a fan of zombie stories? Do you have a recommendation? Or are you encountering something over and over again this season? What? Please share.
