Ghost Road Blues / Jonathan Maberry / 498 pages / November Challenge Zombies

"There are shunned places in this world where no one should ever go.  Black places where the darkness clings to the sides of trees and the undersides of rocks, like lesions from some ancient disease."  Pine Deep, Pennsylvania has just such a place and two undeads reside there - Ubel Griswold and the Bone Man.  Griswold had a grand plan to resurrect and claim the town, and perhaps the world, as his own.  A deadly murderer and madman comes to town, fleeing a drug deal gone bad resulting in a shoot out.  He becomes a player in Griswold's scheme and threatens Malcolm Crow, his fiancee, and her family, and, well, basically, all the good people of Pine Deep.  If you love Stephen King, you'll love Jonathan Maberry.
