Walter Greatshell here. I am the author of XOMBIES (Berkley, 2004), which was re-released as XOMBIES: APOCALYPSE BLUES (2009), and followed by the sequels XOMBIES: APOCALYPTICON (2010), and XOMBIES: APOCALYPSO (2011). I am also author of the novels MAD SKILLS, ENORMITY (published under the pen name W.G. Marshall), and TERMINAL ISLAND. My short stories have appeared in the anthologies THE LIVING DEAD 2, TALES OF JACK THE RIPPER, and CTHULHU FHTAGN! My most recent works are the essay collection SPECIAL FEATURES: SHORT TAKES ON POP CULTURE FROM ANDROIDS TO ZOMBIES and the WWII saga SAFARI MINE: AN AFRICAN ODYSSEY 1928-1937.

TWO NEW BOOKS!

Yup, after several years of scribbling in my cave, I have two books out at once--just because why the heck not?

The first is a collection of brief articles I've written over the past decade or so, which I have titled SPECIAL FEATURES: SHORT TAKES ON POP CULTURE FROM ANDROIDS TO ZOMBIES. I think the essays are fun and informative, and of ideal length for bathroom reading.

The second book is slightly Read more of this blog post »

I really appreciate that, Matt. Thanks so much for reading Terminal Island and taking the time to comment--writing is a very solitary job, so your nice feedback means a lot to me.


Walter Greatshell Thanks, Jessica! I really appreciate that, and hope you like the other books. Maybe we'll meet up at next year's Comic-Con and hit the Game of Thrones panel!


Jessica Walter, I really, really liked Xombies! I can't wait to read the next two!


Walter Greatshell Thanks, Nate! I'm still getting the hang of it...
