About the book:

1974.

The Summer of Love is a fading memory, the Cold War rages on, Richard M. Nixon is
barely holding onto the Presidency, and the dead are returning to life.

Five friends on their way to a week at Lake Tahoe, a Vietnam veteran in Sacramento
trying to get home to his daughter in New Mexico, an older couple idling in a dusty
shop in the hills, and a dangerous man who has spent twenty years preparing his
strange family for the end of the world...

As civilization collapses, these scattered survivors cross paths, and the hungry dead
are the least of the horrors unleashed.

Those who die will walk. Those who live will hope for a quick death, and they will...

PRAY TO STAY DEAD.


Praise for PRAY TO STAY DEAD:

"A brutally entertaining collision of zombie thriller
and grindhouse action. Not for the faint of heart!"


Jonathan Maberry,
New York Times bestselling author
of Patient Zero

"This guy Mason James Cole knocked me back on my heels. I've read a lot of zombie books over the last few years, and frankly, I thought I had seen it all. It seemed like nothing could shock me anymore. But Pray to Stay Dead delivered on all fronts. It's got all the raw emotional violence and brutal gore one would expect from a zombie book, but those things are only the surface of this tale. Underneath, Pray to Stay Dead possesses an elegantly simple style of storytelling that I haven't found since my first encounter with 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


About the author:

Mason James Cole is the pseudonym of an apparently mild-mannered conservative
type who doesn’t want his family and friends to know he writes stuff like
this. His boring but lucrative job keeps him on the road five months out of the
year, and that’s when he watches scary movies, reads scary books, and writes
scary stories. He smiles and nods through church every Sunday and secretly
votes Green. He lives in Farmington, Utah.

"These guys know more about the undead
than I do... and that's saying something,
because I've been hanging out with zombies
for as long as I can remember."

-- George A. Romero
