Killer cows, politics, and a zombie shock-jock make the first novel release from Apex Publishing a horrifically good read

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[Lexington, Kentucky] – Apex Publishing announces the release of the first book in a new line of apocalyptic novels, THE CHANGED, by B.J. Burrow.

Chris is an ordinary guy with a boring job, a perfect fiancé, and plans for a happy, if predictable, future. But when the dead stop dying and become, instead, simply “changed,” ordinary isn’t so comforting anymore. Wandering stray animals suddenly develop a taste for flesh and brains, and while most of the human zombies might be harmless, can anyone really be sure?

With the help of a morning show shock-jock who has recently turned into a zombie and the burnt-out walking remains of a businessman, Chris becomes the backbone of a fight for undead rights among the fear, prejudice, and uncertainty dividing the living and the not quite dead.

Fast paced and full of social, political, and historical commentary, THE CHANGED delivers a darkly comedic look at the dreams and nightmares of the living and the almost—but not quite—dead.

B.J. BURROW co-wrote the screenplay THE MONSTER HUNTER, which premiered on The Sci-Fi channel and starred David Carradine. This is his first novel. He lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, Melissa, and two daughters. He has won his fantasy football league four out of ten times, and he is currently working on his second novel.
