Stage 3 - A Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Thriller
2016
Blindness is just the beginning. Once the virus strips away everything remotely human, all that's left is a mindless, savage predator. Finalist, Fiction Horror - 2018 International Book Awards Bronze Medal, Fiction Horror - 2017 Readers' Favorite Book Awards Official Selection: Horror - 2018 New Apple Summer E-Book Awards From multi-award-winning, horror writer, Ken Stark, comes a pulse-pounding, post-apocalyptic zombie novel that will keep you pumped up until the very last page. For fans of World War Z, The Last of Us, and The Walking Dead. “There are numerous comparisons between STAGE 3 and other zombie apocalypse tales, but it’s the dissimilarities of other zombie tales that put Ken Stark at the top of the zombie author charts. Stark is a master wordsmith. His insight into character development, realistic dialogue and the right amount and timing of twists that keep the reader reading are second to none. I highly recommend STAGE 3 to zombie and horror fans, but also those who enjoy a human story embedded in an action-packed apocalyptic tale.” MASON NEVER CARED MUCH FOR HIS FELLOW MAN. But now, he is all that stands between a blind little girl and a world gone mad. Even as they fight their way from one horror to the next, through streets running red with blood, they both know that time is running out. Stage 3 IS COMING... and things are about to get a whole lot worse.

Stage 3
2017
The virus isn't done yet. STAGE 3 IS HERE. And it might just be the beginning of the end. STAGE 3: ALPHA is the 2nd installment in the STAGE 3 SERIES —- a nail-biting, high adrenaline, zombie apocalypse novel for fans of World War Z, The Last of Us, and The Walking Dead. "The Stage 3 series is a zombie story unlike any of the many zombie stories heretofore. Sure, it all starts with a virus that reanimates the dead, turning them into gruesome eating machines; but there are significant differences. Stark's zombies evolve as the story unwinds, from slow moving and mindless, to fast movers with superior instincts and skills." "The reader can expect an interesting plot with a cutthroat storyline, dynamic characters with slasher tendencies, and vivid imagery that brings to life the glamour of the gut-wrenching." THE VIRUS SWEPT THROUGH HUMANITY LIKE WILDFIRE. Millions went blind in the first few hours, but blindness was just the beginning. It was only in STAGE 2 that the real terror emerged. As the virus ate into the brain, it destroyed everything human. Leaving in its wake a creature that knew only one thing... the need to feed. And the world was torn apart. In San Francisco, those few who remain amid the swarms measure their survival from one terrified heartbeat to the next. But for Sarah, there is reason to keep going. A pretty little girl with big green eyes and a tangled mop of curly red hair is counting on her, and she's not about to let anything in heaven or hell stand in her way. But those wild, ravenous things aren't the only monsters in this new world of the damned. Sarah fights her way home across a besieged city... but she knows that the worst of the horror is yet to come.

Stage 3
2022
What kind of man do you have to be... To survive an apocalypse? Finally, the much-awaited addition to the STAGE 3: Post Apocalyptic Zombie Thriller Series is coming! From horror master Ken Stark, this installment features a new adventure, with new characters, along with the old friends you've already grown to love. WAVERLY MANOR WAS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WENT TO DIE. After the end, it became the last bastion of life in a dead city. For Charlie, those walls of brick and mortar had always provided sanctuary against a world he feared, even before the dead started to rise. When other survivors showed up on Waverley's doorstep, another man might have been thrilled to know that he was not the last living soul on Earth. But not Charlie. The monsters trying to batter down the walls were frightening enough. The thought of the kind of men who could survive among the living dead was the stuff of nightmares. THE ONLY THING HANK MASON EVER FEARED WAS LOSING THE FRIENDS WHO HAD BECOME HIS FAMILY. Now, with no supplies left and the dearest member of that family fighting for her life, the man he was trying to become is rapidly turning back into the man he used to be. To him, Charlie is a weakling and a coward. With a new threat rising out of the swarms, he knows it will take every ounce of strength and courage they can muster to escape the city of the dead. SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PLACE WAS CHANGING THE LIVING DEAD THINGS. Altering their behavior. Improving their ability to hunt. Either what they were witnessing was Darwinism at work, or something deadlier was coming their way. Something so deadly... that it just might mean the end for the last of mankind.
