Book excerpt: How did it happen that whole regions of Latin America--Amazonia, Patagonia, the Caribbean--are named for monstrous races of women warriors, big-footed giants and cannibals? Through history, monsters inhabit human imaginings of discovery and creation, and also degeneration, chaos, and death. Latin America's most dynamic monsters can be traced to archetypes that are found in virtually all of the world's sacred traditions, but only in Latin America did Amazons, cannibals, zombies, and other monsters become enduring symbols of regional history, character, and identity. From Amazons to Zombies presents a comprehensive account of the qualities of monstrosity, the ways in which monsters function within and among cultures, and theories and genres of the monstrous. It describes the genesis and evolution of monsters in the construction and representation of Latin America from the Ancient world and early modern Iberia to the present.

Book excerpt: Death walks on a billion legs The world of zombies has reached a tipping point. The cure is out there, but can it be unlocked before the number of infected swells beyond counting? Liam and his girlfriend climb out of the Mississippi River after having survived twenty days of the zombie apocalypse. Their many adventures while looking for the cure could probably fill a book. However, today, only one thing matters to them: escaping the horde. Marty Peters is also on the run nearby, but the horde is not after her. She is pursued by just one zombie. It doesn't sound like much, but the fear is every bit as real, because it also happens to be her son. Liam and Marty must find ways to evade the looming zombie threats in the nearby farmlands, but ultimately their only hope is to find each other. Each of them contains biometric data necessary to unlock the ultimate cure. That salvation is three states over and beyond cities full of zombies. They'll be pursued the whole way. Let the escape begin. --- This book was originally published as a standalone. Due to reader demand, I've re-labeled the story as book 7, putting it where it belongs in the journey started in book 1, Since the Sirens.
