Sepulchral Eart pt. 2 - The Temple of the Dead



Two years after the furious dead rose up to murder the living, the remnants of mankind face a brutal extinction. Wretched and broken, trading humanity for life, the survivors suffer under the inevitable shadow of death.

Aided by friendly spirits, the necromancer Harlan Cole wages war against the merciless forces of the undead. Driven to bring peace to the souls of his wife and daughter, Harlan vows to return the dead to their graves, or join them trying.


Excerpt:

Under the rumbling gray sky, Harlan Cole clutched his swollen ribs, his face a patchwork of graven lines. He circled right as the walker came at him. Short huffs of breath spewed from cracked lips. He looked into the corpse's blackened sockets to see pools of insect larvae churning in their depths. Harlan fought the urge to gag as a long brown roach skittered from the corpse's eye and ran across its cheek. It disappeared when it wormed its way inside the walker's jaundiced ear.

"Set in a post-apocalyptic universe where the reanimated dead outnumber the living and spirits driven insane harry the landscape, this story is undeniably macabre but also surprisingly affecting." ~ Bobby
