About this ebook

Stebbins Little School is full of bodies. It's unthinkable to Desdemona Fox. Children are sobbing as panicked teachers and neighbors beat down their family members outside of the school...or the things that used to be their family members. Parents don't eat their children do they?

Officers Fox and Hammond, along with journalist Billy Trout, are calling it the beginning of the end. This is the zombie apocalypse. An insane escaped serial killer is infecting Stebbins County with a deadly virus, and now the whole world is watching while Fox, Trout, and the remaining inhabitants of Stebbins fight for their life against...what? The undead? The President and the National Guard are ready to nuke Stebbins, PA off the map and cut their losses. But the infection is spreading and fast. Worse, the scientist who created the virus is missing. It's a numbers game as the body count rises; Fox has to contain the infected and evacuate the living before it's too late, and the clock is ticking...

Fall of Night, Maberry's nail-biting sequel to Dead of Night, picks up where the first novel left off—on a wild goose chase for a madman and the missing scientist who gave him new "un"-life. Chilling, gory, and hair-raisingly scary, Maberry fans won't be able to read this fast-paced thriller with the lights off.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely loved this book. I love the way the Dead of Night, Rot and Ruin, Ghost Road Blues, and Joe Ledger series all exist in the same universe. I've read them all, and my only complaint is that I wanted more post-Pine Deep Iron Mike Sweeney than there has been. Now I'm afraid that Mr. Maberry has wrapped up this universe and won't revisit it more. I hope there's still a couple Joe Ledger stories, maybe one in the rot and ruin. My biggest hope is for an Iron Mike series of 2 or 3 stories up to the R&R.

I Love how all the books are tied together and your never left behind wondering who a certain person really is or there back story because it's in one of his amazing works. Keep up the end of the world books Mr. Maberry!

I feel this is another cliff hanger. However, it started a tad bit slow, but towards the middle and end it really exploded. Now, I am left wonder what happened to Dez, the kids, Sam Imuran brother and so much more....guess I will have to wait for book 3.
