CORPSE FAUNA
Corpse Fauna is a series of four novellas set in a world overrun by the walking dead. Portions of the Corpse Fauna cycle were originally published in anthologies and magazines during the heyday of the “zombie rennaisance.” Dark Quest Books is publishing the complete Corpse Fauna cycle in expanded and updated editions, including the all-new, never-before-published concluding novella.

—Vampirella Magazine
“…somewhat humorous, often insightful, and downright creepy…”
—The Nth Degree
“…Chambers made me cry.”
—Horror-Web.com
“… a nice grisly piece for late at night.”
—Allen Koszowski, illustrator

Praise for Resurrection House:
“Chambers has a skill for evoking the emotions that are needed in the horror field.” –David Agranoff, Postcards from a Dying World [FULL REVIEW]
“Delving into human frailties and fears, Chambers acknowledges the internal monsters of the psyche. He also adroitly addresses the external evils; those terrors that are kept at bay for the sense of sanity.” –Hellnotes [FULL REVIEW]
“Chambers manages to turn the ordinary into something creepy, conspiracy into something scary, and history into Hell…” –Monster/Colleen Wanglund [FULL REVIEW]
“These stories are highly creative accounts of horror, fantasy, and a bit of science fiction. James Chambers writes stories that are unique and represent some extraordinary short fiction. The stories were ingeniously written…” –Living Dead Media [FULL REVIEW]
