The Risen Series: The Complete Collection
When the world ended, Helena Hawthorn wasn’t ready to be a hero, but the apocalypse doesn’t wait for permission.
In a shattered world where a twisted vaccine unleashes a plague of nightmares, the survivors are few, and the cost of living is steep. Helena and her unlikely family, the motorcycle club known as G.R.I.T., band together to face the rising horrors. From the first outbreak to the brutal battles that follow, every decision becomes a fight between survival and humanity.
Across these five gripping tales, including two heart-wrenching novellas, heroes rise, monsters evolve, and death wears many faces. As the Risen roam the earth and darker threats emerge from within, the line between life and death blurs, and sometimes, it’s not the monsters outside that you have to fear the most.
Family. Loyalty. Defiance.
This is the story of those who chose to fight back.

About the author
Marie F. Crow
31 books50 followers Marie F Crow believes that monsters should keep you up at night with the thoughts of “what if” stalking your mind. She began writing horror after feeling the genre of zombie horror was getting too far away from actual horror, forgetting what a zombie is, and what that can mean to your world.
The recent advents of movies and literature have pushed the concept of the flesh eating undead too far into the realm of the mundane and cute. There is a need to once more rehash the genre with the proper respect to the psychological ramifications, and sheer horror, that the monsters deserve.
That sheer horror of possibly having to kill your friends, family, or anyone else for that matter before they become a shambling corpse willing, even driven, to consume the flesh of their own. The psychological destruction to the minds of the living their deaths could cause to those around them.
With the release of The Risen series, she hopes to, once again, breathe fear back into the genre that has always been a favorite of hers. Crafting her stories with honest emotions, and believable circumstances, she creates her world with an added twist to the classic monsters. She believes nothing is sacred in the land of horror inviting the reader to explore the depth of that concept by luring them deeper into her realm with visual images and emotional drama wrapped with a sparkling, gore dripping bow.
With open arms, she welcomes them back into the world of horror hoping they enjoy the ride, but requests they do keep all their limbs inside the ride at all times. The Risen are waiting, and they are hungry.
