Everything they grab burns.
Everyone they touch dies.
Everything they kill comes back from the dead.
A secluded Mississippi River island is the perfect vacation getaway - until the space rocks land. A family is killed by searing radiation. The same cosmic force returns Dad, sis, and the two boys from the grave.
But they're deteriorating quickly; melting away. And they want your flesh.
Oh, look. Here come the tourists.
A B-movie between book covers, The Melting Dead is a roller-coaster ride that will burst your heart with fear and make your sides ache with laughter.
Praise from critics and readers:
★★★★★"One of the best zombie stories I have read." - Peter Schwotzer, Famous Monsters of Filmland
★★★★★"Ferocious, twisted and often snarkily funny zombie horror hackathon... Lamoreux's violence doesn't approach the nihilistic brutality of Jack Ketchum, but when he does go there, it's all the more gripping because it is inflicted on characters you actually come to know and care about." - Peter O'Keefe, Tales From The Darkside
★★★★★"A terrific read that delivers a fresh look at zombies - something I wouldn't have thought possible a dozen years into the undead renaissance. Here's hoping Hollywood is paying attention - this is a modern classic just waiting to leap off the page." - Aaron Christensen, Amazon Review
