Collects Marvel Zombies Return #1-5. Nothing can withstand the Hunger, the insatiable drive that compels the undead super heroes to devour friends, family, heroes and villains alike. But now, the Marvel Zombies find themselves on a fresh world, ripe for the picking! Who can stop the super-powered undead?

An indispensable guide identifying and describing mankind''s enemies: supernatural beasts, ghosts, vampires, serial killers, etc.-- and unearthing effective, time-proven responses to each horrific threat.

The royal family of Wakanda must enlist the help of the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and Deadpool to stop Dr. Doom from gaining access to an unlimited source of Vibranium, a metal that possesses magical powers.

When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there''s either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills... and there''s nothing wrong with Joe Ledger''s skills. And that''s both a good, and a bad thing. It''s good because he''s a Baltimore detective that has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new taskforce created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can''t handle. This rapid response group is called the Department of Military Sciences or the DMS for short. It''s bad because his first mission is to help stop a group of terrorists from releasing a dreadful bio-weapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies. The fate of the world hangs in the balance....

From the powerful imagination of a new horror master comes a bone-chilling tale set in a small town where good and evil are joined in a terrifying, deadly battle. . . Evil Endures Once an idyllic Pennsylvania village, Pine Deep awoke one morning to find itself bathed in a massive bloodletting. Twice in thirty years the townsfolk have endured the savage hungers of a murderous madman. . .but if the residents think the death of serial killer Karl Ruger put an end to the carnage, they''re dead wrong. The Nightmare Never Ends Bodies mutilated beyond description, innocents driven to acts of vicious madness. A monstrous evil is preying on the living--and the dead--and turning the quiet little town into hell on earth. Their only hope is to find the source. But the secrets that lurk in the heart of Pine Deep are twisted into its very roots. This time the townspeople aren''t just fighting for their lives, but for their very souls. . . "If I were asked to select only one new voice in horror fiction to read today, it would be Jonathan Maberry." --Katherine Ramsland "Maberry takes us on another roller coaster ride through the cursed town of Pine Deep. You might want to keep the night light on for this one. Really." --Laura Schrock Emmy Award-winning writer/producer "A fabulously written novel that grips you from its first line to its last. Jonathan Maberry''s writing runs from dark and beautiful to sharp and thought-provoking, and his books should be on everyone''s Must-Read list." --Yvonne Navarro author of Mirror Me, AfterAge, Hellboy, Elektra, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tempted Champions, Species, Species II, Aliens: Music of the Spears, and Ultraviolet

A spooktacular guide to the mystery-shrouded realm where the supernatural mingles with the paranormal. Maberry and Kramer present witty and comprehensive chapters that explain the inexplicable, from angels and poltergeists to UFOs and more. The Cryptopedia decodes occult symbols, demystifies the art of fortune-telling and discusses the myriad strange and bizarre forces at work in the universe. Packed with informative sidebars, and fully illustrated throughout with an eight-page colour insert.

Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel From a new master of horror comes an apocalyptic showdown between the residents of a secluded, rural town and the deadly evil that confronts them wherever they turn . . . Evil Doesn''t Die The cozy little town of Pine Deep buried the horrors of its past a long time ago. Thirty years have gone by since the darkness descended and the Black Harvest began, a time when a serial killer sheared a bloody swath through the quiet Pennsylvania village. The evil that once coursed through Pine Deep has been replaced by cheerful tourists getting ready to enjoy the country''s largest Halloween celebration in what is now called "The Spookiest Town in America." It Just Grows Stronger But then--a month before Halloween--it begins. Unspeakably desecrated bodies. Inexplicable insanity. And an ancient evil walking the streets, drawing in those who would fall to their own demons and seeking to shred the very soul of this rapidly fracturing community. Yes, the residents of Pine Deep have drawn together and faced a killer before. But this time, evil has many faces--and the lust and will to rule the earth. This struggle will be epic. "Serves up scares like pancakes at a church social."--Gregory Frost "Without a doubt this prolific author is the next Stephen King. Maberry deserves more then a Bram Stoker Award for this; he deserves Bram Stoker to rise from his grave and shake his hand." --Chad Wendell, New World Reviews "If I were asked to select only one new voice in horror fiction to read today, it would be Jonathan Maberry."--Katherine Ramsland "A fun, fun read and creepy as hell."--Gregory Frost "If you think small town horror has nothing new to offer, you have a surprise in store. Ghost Road Blues demonstrates that even the most haunted town in America is unprepared for the full depth of evil, either human or inhuman."--Don D''Ammassa "Reminiscent of Stephen King. . .Maberry supplies plenty of chills in this atmospheric novel. . .This is horror on a grand scale." –Publishers Weekly
