As though just recently born… See that squealing baby over there? He could grow up to be a lifesaving doctor (or perhaps the antichrist.) What about that scientist burning the midnight oil?

Amazon Bestseller, Voted best Zombie/Horror E-books of 2012 on Goodreads

'Zombie Attack: Rise of the Horde' is everything the blurb promises it to be, and much, much more! A tale of despair and sacrifice, small precious victories, farewells and reunions, and subtle spirituality, "Zombie Attack: Rise of the Horde" is a book I would highly recommend to readers looking for an enormously thrilling story with a degree of depth to it. As the book ends with a bit of a cliff hanger, I sincerely hope that we'll soon see more books from this brilliant author."

Books for Tomorrow, 5 of 5 star review

Devan Sagliani's endeavor is tremendous in luring readers into anticipating more and more. Whether you're an avid reader or been bitten by the curiosity bug in zombielore, there's a little something for everyone in Rise of The Horde."

Horror News, Dave Gammon

"Zombie Attack! Rise of the Horde by Devan Sagliani is the book you, your friends, and your kids (provided they like sweet gory violence) should be reading. I mean it. If I had sum it up... I would say, "What the hell are you still doing here? Why haven't you bought it yet?"

On September 20, the zombie virus was released into the dense population of transients on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. It spread like unstoppable wildfire in all directions, decimating everything in its path for six full weeks before outside measures were taken to cleanse the scourge. These stories take place in those final times. They are told through the eyes of several different Angelinos, each offering a unique perspective to the events as they unfolded and to the aftermath of the virus.

When it comes to safely navigating 747's from London to Los Angeles, Edgar Reynolds is a consummate professional. It's his personal life that's in shambles, or more specifically his marriage, after a string of affairs he couldn't be bothered to hide. None of that matters to him the morning he wakes up to discover he's smack dead in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Now what's important is that he survives long enough to hijack a plane from LAX and flee the end of the world.

Detective Gary Wendell isn't having the best day. A murder case in West Hollywood takes him from the Hollywood Hills to the Twin Towers in downtown Los Angeles. The hunt for his killer stirs fresh life into Gary's secret obsession. If it's the end of the world, Gary’s going to exact his own justice on the monster who got away, the one who told him that murder isn't art if NO ONE IS WATCHING.

When Donny's dad took off he left him and his mom in a run down apartment in Hollywood scrambling to make ends meet. Still, Donny managed to form a begrudging bond with his mom's new boyfriend, Bram, who took him under his wing. Just when things were starting to look up for them as a family, a virus hit Los Angeles taking away any last shred of hope or safety they had. Soon it's up to Donny and his pack of teenage friends, not just to defend their gated apartment complex, but also to scavenge for food and supplies. Working together, they do their part to protect and provide for the remaining survivors at CAMP ZOMBIE.

Being invited to the Emmys as the date of her favorite television actor is a dream Kathleen could never imagine. She also never expected to return to the city of her college years one last time before dying of terminal cancer. When the doors burst open in the middle of the ceremony and infected homeless people begin eating her favorite celebrities, everything changes. Now she's caught between spending her final moments in mind-numbing terror fleeing for her life, or letting the filthy undead strip the last good memories away in TO LIVE & DIE IN L.A.

Pilar Garcia grew up working in her father's fish taco truck in Boyle Heights, but dreamed of becoming a world-class chef one day. After overcoming the cultural stereotypes and working her way through Culinary Arts school she is able to harness the power of her dreams by returning to her roots and creating a food truck empire in Los Angeles. She's so successful, in fact, that three of her best trucks snatch a spot at the coveted Los Angeles City Fall Street Food Fair in downtown Los Angeles. Unfortunately, that's the same day the virus is released into Skid Row, mere blocks away in LA CUCARACHA.

Guillermo and his half brother, Caesar, have always been survivors. Growing up in the gang neighborhoods of Venice Beach they've learned to take care of each other first and ask questions later. Yermo, as his real friends call him, is starting to get a reputation as a serious surfer by the local guys he reveres, including the new legend of Dogtown and former professional surfer, Brody. He's not about to let like the end of the world keep him out of the water or off his streets. Together they form a group capable of not only dealing with the zombie menace but also fighting off the new arrivals intent on taking over Venice Beach – a vicious new supergang: One Blood.

Chaos breaks out when a virulent new strain of biological warfare is unwittingly released into the general population, causing all who are infected with it to turn into flesh-hungry monsters driven by a hive mind that yearns to feed.

Gunner, a paranoid war veteran and the head of security at the Biotech lab where the designer virus was created, knew this day would eventually come. That's why he spent nearly every day since his return from Iraq preparing for the end of the world. It's up to him to save the residents of Thunderdome, a run-down apartment complex in Northern Las Vegas.

Max hosts a live show as Asphyxia Stardust, a semi-nude cosplayer with a love of all things horror, is hosting the city's first ZombieCon. Travis is a computer nerd / borderline stalker obsessed with zombies and Gemma, a misunderstood party girl everyone thinks is a tease. His roommate Parker is a star athlete gone bad who spends his days partying and chasing skirts. Holt is a stereotypical frat boy who finds new meaning in the apocalypse as a warrior for God with a crowbar sent to kill demons from the pit of hell. Together this unlikely band of college students and burnouts fight their way through a zombie horde in search of somewhere safe to take refuge, encountering every horror imaginable along the way.

Is this an inescapable global pandemic or can they find a safe zone outside of Sin City and away from the endless sea of rotting monsters with razor sharp teeth trying to infect and kill them?

Dark Dreams: My Online Horror Column May 10, 2016

by Devan Sagliani

$0.99

From April 2014 through February 2016 horror author Devan Sagliani wrote a bimonthly horror column called Dark Dreams. The topics ranged widely, from interviews with horror authors and photographers, to a private tour of Clive Barker’s mansion in the Hollywood Hills and more. Nothing was off limits so long as it made you scream.

Devan explained the feud between Bela Legosi and Boris Karloff, introduced readers to original scream queens Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer, Brinke Stevens, and paid tribute to HR Giger and the late, great Vincent Price. He also bade a fond farewell to horror legends who passed during his time writing Dark Dreams, including Christopher Lee and Wes Craven. He told readers the best items to avoid being killed in a horror movie, explored the scary world of cursed movies, took the October horror movie challenge, and shared the top 12 scariest Christmas-themed horror movies.

He wrote about notorious serial killers like Richard Ramirez, Ed Gein, and Ted Bundy – in some cases shocking readers with his grisly portrayal of their heinous crimes. He explored horror myths about legendary creatures like Goatman, supernatural monsters like Slenderman and Krampus, and the rise of the worship of Santa Muerte in Mexico, the terrifying Saint of death. He went to horror conventions like Frightmare and Scare L.A. and posted exclusive galleries of the horror cosplay. He even wrote a three-part series on H.P. Lovecraft that stirred up some controversy of its own.

All throughout he had a fantastic time and learned a great deal about the topics he explored. He is sad to see it end. Which is why he decided to put together the articles in this collection, so in some small way Dark Dreams can live on. He included links at the end of each article to the original posts on The Escapist. That way you can check out the images, not to mention some of the colorful comments avid readers left, particularly on Lovecraft. Enjoy!
