Desperate Souls by Gregory Lamberson
Jake Helman - the ex-cop and zombie killer - has set up shop as a private investigator in lower Manhattan. When a woman hires Jake to prove that her dead grandson is dealing a deadly new drug called 'Black Magic' on a Brooklyn street corner, Jake uncovers a plot by a vicious drug lord to use voodoo to seize the streets of New York City.
Dark fantasy fans will be impressed by this action-packed, gory, and witty read--Publishers Weekly Proving that the first Helman novel wasn't a one-off fluke, Lamberson (who's also written the werewolf novel The Frenzy Way , 2010) serves up another helping of action, horror, and supernatural mayhem. -- Booklist With as much action-packed fighting scenes as Personal Demons, plenty of twists, some genuine scares, and a world where just about no one can be trusted, Desperate Souls is a surefire hit for anyone who loves cross-genre horror stories. -- The Horror Fiction Review A bracing thriller. Greg Lamberson has cooked up a wicked potion of voodoo, drugs, revenge, double crosses, crooked cops, and the walking dead ... and in the process given us one hell of a great book. This is the tough kind of prose that leaves me breathless, and I can't wait for my next encounter with Jake Helman! -- Joe McKinney, author, Dead City, Resistance, and Quarantined There were also a few surprises that blindsided me to the point where I remember saying, 'Oh my God!' out loud. The action scenes were exciting, well executed, and had me on the edge of my seat. --Midnyte Reader Readers will get the creepy crawlies as they visualize the zombies ... Gregory Lamberson is one of the bright new stars in the horror world. --Harriet Klausner, Midwest Book Review This title is easily one of the best cross-genre efforts I have ever read. Moreover, it not only mashes up the detective and zombie subgenre but revamped my own thinking on zombie lore. --www.AndyErupts.com (January 2012)
