Parasite; The True Story of the Zombie Apocalypse is a constant fixture on the Top 100 charts.
How does a normal guy face a zombie apocalypse? Or, for that matter, a scientist? You need to read this zombie apocalypse novel because it's not only a really great zombie story, but it also explains the science involved in the dead coming to life. Zombies are rising in the sleepy town of Slippery Rock and it is up to Henry Cooper to figure out why. But first, he needs to save his wife, Melissa. With the help of his neighbor Dean and some superhero clad comic book fanboys, he's off to the rescue. Join them as they race across Northwestern Pennsylvania on a quest which involves everything from undead to fire trucks. Along the way, you will discover the hard science behind how the dead truly rose from the grave. As one reviewer said of Parasite, "Such good storytelling. Zombielicious. I am remembering biology class as they explain why people are turning into zombies and clues to stop the infection. Adventure, politicians, lawyers, and scientist * oh my * Very good book."

Doug Ward currently lives in Western Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of Slippery Rock University. His BFA is in Fine Art. Doug spends much of his time doing oil paintings which incorporate mythology and science. I write about parasitic zombies. They feel (to me) more scientifically grounded than other types. It's also pretty scary how many parasitic creatures are inside us at this very moment. Some have even bonded with us for so long that they are actually a part of our DNA. Parasites have been known to take over their hosts. A few years ago my wife called me from a friends house and said that a mouse kept trying to snuggle with the cat. Literally nuzzling up to the cat's face. I quickly informed her that the mouse was infected by a parasite and that they needed to remove it from the house immediately. The parasite wanted to be eaten by the cat so it could continue its lifecycle in the bowels of the unfortunate creature. This flatworm not only controls mice but it can infect humans as well. I have blended many scientific ideas into Parasite, which is a four book series. Saving Jebediah is a fun piece of fan fiction I wrote for a contest Mark Tufo was having.
