DELIRIUM BOOKS Announces THE INFECTED by MICHAEL MCBRIDE and THE CONDEMNED by DAVID JACK BELL

Posted by Horror Fiction News Network on August 21, 2007 DELIRIUM BOOKS has just announced that they will be releasing THE INFECTED by MICHAEL MCBRIDE and THE CONDEMNED by DAVID JACK BELL. From the Publisher on THE INFECTED: They’re breeding in the darkness, underground, feasting on blood and carrion. For centuries they’ve been sustained by offerings of ritualistic sacrifice, propagating the contagions to be unleashed on the world through savage stingers when the day of destiny finally arrives. Millions of sand flies, swarming through caverns riddled with human and animal remains, awaiting the vernal equinox when the serpent god Kukulcán will descend from the heavens to release them and deliver his vengeance upon those who drove his worshippers from their sacred land. The pandemic is at hand, for contained within each of the insects is a deadly combination of microorganisms capable of laying waste to the human immune system and ravaging the flesh, killing the cerebrum and leaving the victim at the mercy of the primitive hindbrain. Those contaminated become enraged creatures functioning on instinct alone, capable only of killing and spreading the disease. The sick now hunt the dwindling bands of survivors, who will soon learn that the only thing worse than dying, is becoming one of The Infected. From the Publisher on THE CONDEMNED: The world is at war…the city is dying…and those left for dead within its walls have awakened… A terrorist attack on the water supply has left the city quarantined by the army and inhabited by the City People, the mindless living dead who rule the urban night. Jett Dormer works for the government. During the day he and his partner Vince drive a wrecker, collecting abandoned cars from the city’s dying core, scrap metal to feed the nation’s raging war machine. They finish their work before nightfall and return to home base outside the city and then to their wives and families. Until the day Jett and Vince are overrun by a horde of City People, and only Jett makes it out.Plagued by nightmares and wracked with guilt for having left his best friend behind, Jett returns to work, hoping to provide for his family. But his new partner, a wounded veteran known only as the Kid, won’t let Jett forget what happened to Vince. And he won’t let Jett forget that Vince might not be entirely dead. You’re never going to feel right, or be right, as long as he’s out there… Soon Jett and the Kid are on a mission to find Vince and bring whatever’s left of him home. But as their city raids grow bloodier, Jett finds himself increasingly under the mysterious influence of his new partner. And just as his murderous rage for the City People grows nearly out of control, he realizes things may not be exactly as they appear. The night, and those who control it—the City People—hold many secrets. Secrets that might just set Jett free…or destroy him and everything he holds dear.
