Gabby's Run

2016

(WARNING: This zombie apocalypse end of the world novel from M.D. Massey is chock full of post-apocalyptic werewolves, post-apocalyptic vampires, post-apocalyptic shifters, and other things that go bump in the long dark night of a vampire apocalypse. THEM: Gabby's Run can be read as a stand-alone novel, or as an introduction to the world of THEM...) THEM BOOK THREE GABBY’S RUN The Fourth Volume in M.D. Massey’s THEM Paranormal Apocalypse Series! Gabby Mendoza just wants to be a normal teenage girl. Unfortunately, she’s facing some serious obstacles in the “normal” department... For one, she’s living out the zombie apocalypse in an underground bunker. Second, she’s been raised by her crazy ex-CIA uncle to be a petite zombie-killing machine. And third—she’s not entirely human. Now, Gabby has to help her borderline sociopathic uncle track down the one person who might be able to save the world from the paranormal apocalypse… before a werewolf or some other undead nightmare finds him first. It’s a good thing Gabby packed plenty of ammo, because she’s gonna need it. "THEM: Gabby’s Run" is an adrenaline-fueled romp through a post-apocalyptic Western world terrorized by zombies, vampires, werewolves, and violent supernatural creatures that would make H.P. Lovecraft check under the bed. If you’re a fan of paranormal fantasy, zombie apocalypse end of the world novels, or post-apocalyptic werewolves and vampires, you’ll love spending time with Gabby Mendoza while she cuts her teeth as a zombie hunter.

I write urban fantasy, paranormal suspense, and dark fantasy novels. My first series, THEM, is a jaunt through a post-apocalyptic central Texas where the dead walk, and vampires, werewolves and other unsavory creatures roam the night. It has elements of the zompoc genre, dark fantasy, and military survival fiction. My goal with this series was to give readers the same excitement I get from reading books by Larry Correia, Jonathan Maberry, and J.L. Bourne. On the other hand, my Colin McCool series falls squarely between urban fantasy and paranormal suspense. Colin's world is full of magic, mystery, and folklore come to life. I wrote this series because I love reading books by authors like Patricia Briggs, Kevin Hearne, Jim Butcher, and Neil Gaiman. And, like most authors, I try to write stories that I would enjoy reading. I currently live in the Hill Country near Austin, Texas, which is where much of my fiction is set. Most days you can find me in a local coffee shop or in my office working on my next book, or in my garage pummeling inanimate objects.
