Joe Schreiber Brings Horror to Star Wars

by The Undead Rat on October 21, 2009

Joe Schreiber brings horror to the Star Wars Universe in this thrilling new horror book. Although there are no Jedi or Sith Lords, you do meet the criminal element of that galaxy far, far away.

I have been waiting for months for this book! Joe Schreiber is a fantastic author (I loved Chasing the Dead) and believe me, no universe screams out for horror like the Star Wars Universe. I say “Take that Jedi!”

When the Imperial prison barge Purge — temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves — breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned.

But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back — bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine.

And death is only the beginning.

The Purge’s half-dozen survivors — two teenage brothers, a sadistic captain of the guards, a couple of rogue smugglers, and the chief medical officer, the lone woman on board — will do whatever it takes to stay alive.

But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer amid its vast creaking emptiness that isn’t really empty at all. For the dead are rising: soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.

Editor: Schreiber, Joe
Format: Trade Paperback
Type: Novel
Page Count: 288pp.
Pub. Date: October 13, 2009
Publisher: Del Rey

When madness is your inheritance, how do you escape it?

Scott Mast thought he got away — first from a family haunted by a dark fate, then from a dull career writing greeting cards in Seattle. But now he has come back to his New Hampshire hometown only to find that his family is in ruins, his nephew needs a home, and a shattering truth is clawing its way into the light.

Fifteen years ago, Scott’s mother died in a fire. And now the shadowy circumstances — the bodies buried beneath the ashes, the lives ripped apart that fateful day — are starting to be revealed. The answers unspool in the pages of a peculiar old manuscript — an unfinished ghost story written in his father’s own hand that beckons Scott out to a strange house in the woods with a lightless corridor that cannot be seen from the outside.

Here Scott Mast will uncover all that has been hidden — and perhaps finish his father’s unspeakable work.
