Riverdale
Avenue Books has joined forces with the Romantic
Times convention, held in Atlanta this weekend, to give all participants of the
upcoming conference a free ebook entitled Gone
with the Dead edited by Lori Perkins. The new anthology includes stories
based on both Atlanta, Georgia classics Gone
with the Wind and The Walking Dead.
The Gone
with the Dead anthology includes 16 stories from multiple New York Times
and USA Today best-selling writers. Each one is a unique interpretation of this
concept of Southern love and death.
There is profound love and extreme gore--some even in the same story,
and all sorts of undead from the expected zombies to vampires and
shapeshifters, ghosts, devils, and even bugs and gators.
“So it was no surprise that we received more than
100 short stories in a mere two-month deadline when we put the call out for
contributions. Some stories were sent in
the very first day this anthology was announced,” said Publisher and Editor
Lori Perkins. “Of course, that meant that the range of stories was wide, as
well. I expected a lot of zombie stories
– and you will see your fair share of them in here – but there are many kinds
of zombies. Because of the Gone with the Wind angle, I was really looking for stories that had a Civil
War flavor, and you’ll find some truly clever ways these writers have woven
that in as well.”
A reading with authors will be held on May 4th at
The Downtown Atlanta Hyatt from 5:45 to 6:45 The readers will include: Xio
Axelrod, R.L. Merrill, Isabelle Drake and Kimberlie Faye. Riverdale Avenue
Books will also hold their signature dirty word raffle for awesome prizes,
which will include Aftermath Makeup kits from Dear Bloody Mary, Crated With Love Boxes date night subscription box for couples and Infectious Love personalized zombie romance novel from YourNovel.com
Downloads of this book are available at RiverdaleAveBooks.com and also at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles Nook, iTunes, Kobo and where digital and print books are sold.
