Dead, Wired and Online

by P. Joseph Cherubino

The zombie apocalypse will not be televised. You won’t even see it coming.

Two hotel maintenance men, a veteran turned paramedic, a crooked cop and an angry computer scientist are all who stand in the way of a zombie pandemic. These five strangers are thrown together in their escape from the zombie hoards only they can see.

Mysterious, slimy creatures with telepathic powers help the group survive. The strange beings are their only allies against zombies that are animated by computer technology and propelled by a desire for human flesh.

The strangers might survive if only they can stand together long enough. If they can do that, they just might figure out how to save the world. In the meantime, only headshots count.

About the author

I am an 80s kid who grew up on Star Trek reruns, Star Wars and Giant Robots. My family always encouraged me to think, and to dream and to read. My first book was self-published in October 2015 and I hope it is just the beginning.

I've made my living fixing cars and motorcycles, then moved on to a career in information technology. I've traveled a bit - Italy, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan. I've hitchhiked across Canada and I've ridden my motorcycle across the united states and all up and down the East Coast.

So many people I've met along the way shared experience that all becomes the subconscious thread of my writing. Tiny bits of the life I've experienced and the lives that were shared with me go into my stories. I try to make my stories about people, whether those people are aliens, undead creatures, intelligent machines or regular folk.

I choose to write science fiction because I believe the speculative mode of literature has greater potential for capturing the truth of our age and communicating its experience.
