Praise for PRAY TO STAY DEAD:
"A brutally entertaining collision of zombie thrillerand grindhouse action. Not for the faint of heart!"
Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling authorof Patient Zero
"This guy Mason James Cole knocked me back on my heels. I've read a lot ofzombie books over the last few years, and frankly, I thought I had seen itall. It seemed like nothing could shock me anymore. But Pray to Stay Deaddelivered on all fronts. It's got all the raw emotional violence and brutalgore one would expect from a zombie book, but those things are only thesurface of this tale. Underneath, Pray to Stay Dead possesses an elegantlysimple style of storytelling that I haven't found since my first encounterwith Jack Ketchum. Mason James Cole is that good. Read Pray to Stay Dead, and then pray this guy writes more soon, because he's the real deal."
- Joe McKinney, author of Dead City and Apocalypse of the Dead
