Description: "Shockingly personal... Shaun of the Dead meets Trainspotting ." -- MTV.com "Shambling, scabrous figures rotting from the inside out and driven by an insatiable hunger--there are more than a few similarities between meth heads and zombies. Stenson exploits all of them in Fiend." --Entertainment Weekly "[Stands] apart from the pack of zombie lit...Stenson has a sharp ear for language and a gift for dark humor." --Denver Post "Best read of the year. Best zombie book, ever. Masterful illustration about how painful and overwhelming addiction can be...I want every book I read to enthrall me as consistently and emotionally as Fiend did." --SF Signal "Certain to invite comparisons to Hubert Selby and Cormac McCarthy...one scalding pressure cooker of a novel, and I advise you to buckle up and hold on tight because you're in for one hell of a ride." --Donald Ray Pollock, author of The Devil All the Time and Knockemstiff "This is the real meat. The last zombie novel you'll ever need." --Warren Ellis, New York Times bestselling author of Gun Machine and Twisted Little Vein "Peter Stenson has done the near impossible in delivering a savage fire-storm of a page-turner while also enabling a hard and earnest look at addiction and love. I tore through Fiend with the crazed fervor of an addict, but like all great stories these characters lingered in my thoughts long after I turned the last beautiful and brutal page." --Alan Heathcock, National Magazine Award-winning author of Volt "Peter Stenson is the bastard child of Cormac McCarthy and George Romero. In Fiend, he takes the reader on a dark joyride replete with junkies, zombies, and buckets of gore. Here is a novel that will jack your pulse and break your heart all at once." --Steve Almond, New York Times bestselling author of Candyfreak and Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life
