Bones: The Apocalypse Saga

When mankind is visited by Three Great Apocalypses, the only thing standing in their way is a feckless but loyal, easily distracted yet occasionally ferocious German shepherd named Bones, a one-time cadaver dog with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police.  This is his amazing story.

In Bones, our hero must battle a plague of dangerous parasites that brings the dead back to life with the goal of destroying the planet. Shepherd finds Bones delivered to earthquake-devastated Los Angeles to hunt for survivors only to run afoul of armies of rage-driven rats and birds emerging from the rubble. And when mankind reaches its final hour and a pocket of surviving Indians are all that's left of humanity, it falls on Bones to save the species before civilization is wiped out forever in Alpha.

Three Apocalyptic novellas of nature run amok, three interwoven stories that feature a German shepherd at the center of the things, three stories with so much action you might just explode reading them.

Includes prequel short story, Mongrel.

"Bones is a tale of flesheating zombie terror. What separates it from the current horde of undead drivel is the simple fact that the protagonist (and title character) is a dog. Now, before your fragile mind breaks with bad memories of the insipid original Hills Have Eyes 2, wherein a canine is not only featured prevalently but even has its own flashback, rest assured that this attempt is handled with a greater degree of subtlety and intelligence." --Fangoria

"As the story goes on, Bones's sense of smell becomes quite important as a tool for the people in the story to find the undead menace, so he winds up in a series of increasingly exciting and bloody set-pieces.  It's a pretty graphic tale, full of viscera and various grue.  Bones is a fine example of quality, independent horror literature.  A new take on the zombie outbreak story, it's a good, quick read and well worth your time." --Jon Is The Best Blog

"Somebody needs to jump on Wheaton's Bones stories - a really unique zombie tale that has a cadaver dog as the main character. It's like Benji and The Dawn of the Dead (well, not really as Bones is no Benji, but he's totally lovable!)." -- Badass Digest

"I kind of like dry humor and oddities. I'm not so much for books that are so gory they make you wince. I like a good story. This novella was perfect for me because it met all of those criteria. A great Halloween-ish read!" --Candy's Raves
