Critically Acclaimed, Award-winning, Internationally Published, Zombie Apocalypse Horror Author Marie F Crow, Now Offers "The Risen" Series in EPUB Format !
The Risen: Remnants is the third zombie apocalypse book in The Risen series by author Marie F Crow. This book is a complete story unto itself. Readers of Marie F Crow's previous series titles, The Risen: Dawning and The Risen: Margaret, will find a new cast of characters from the same region following the same timeline as The Risen: Dawning.
The cast of Remnants provides a compelling story as the reader is once again introduced to the zombies of The Risen, and the dynamics of the choices people make when confronted with their own mortality in an apocalyptic world.
The main character, Beth Clark, is a single mother who, along with her daughter Genny, experience unimaginable horrors. This book is told from Beth Clark’s point of view as she details the events as they unfold.
Synopsis:
Beth Clark lives of the edge of an abyss. Everyday is spent fighting for her survival and the survival of her teen daughter, Genny. Their lives have been shattered by a vaccine that was supposed to have been a modern miracle. A vaccine that is turning the living into monstrosities of their former selves.
Now, only remnants remain of their past lives. Mother and daughter will struggle to survive with what this new world holds for them as they discover the dawning of the Risen.
“Please Lord, don’t let my daughter see me die today.”
Elizabeth Clark
Comments from fans about Marie F Crow's zombie apocalypse series:
"FINALLY!!!!! A zombie story that I LIKE!!!!"
"Freakishly awesome!"
"From the beginning to the end...THIS is an amazing zombie apoc story."
"With zombie books, one of the greatest pleasures is to be able to get that chill up your spine as you embrace the apocalyptic chaos and atmosphere of death, destruction and despair. That is exactly what Crow does here, she paints the sublime with her words and in doing so creates a lovely and violent story where you can feel each chapter viscerally through her deep descriptions."
"It's well written with vivid imagery, strong dialogue, memorable characters and a plot that builds upon the last novel in the series in a wonderful way. Overall, I sincerely enjoyed 'The Risen: Remnants' and am eager for more in the series."
"Marie Crow continues to deliver interesting and compelling stories that revolve around a post apocalyptic setting. I love the way the author takes the humanity of real life drama and mixes it with the unimaginable horrors of trying to survive in a deadly post apocalyptic world. For those that are not familiar with The Risen series, the stories don't involve cheesy zombies that are out to eat brains and kill humans. These stories involve a deeper focus on the main characters, which in this book are the characters Beth Clark and her daughter Genny. The only thing Beth Clark can think of is to protect her daughter from the zombie like dangers that inhabit this world. The struggle for survival brings out the humanity element very well in the characters."
"The Risen: Remnants stands as a study of humanity, both at its worst and best, written by someone who has an incredible understanding of the human condition. The people you meet are not archetypes, but everyone will recognize part of themselves in each character."
"Marie F Crow will be a force to be reckoned with in the very near future, this I can already see..."
"Kudos to Marie F Crow for such a fantastic read!"

Once upon a time, there was a perfect girl, with a perfect life, in a perfect world. Once upon a time, that was me. Now nothing is perfect and the fairy tales are finally back to the truth of their origins as “warning tales” for children.
I will throw it all away for love; a love that will be the death of me. In fact, if you are reading this, some person that I have yet to meet, I am most likely already dead. The only way a set of eyes other than my own will rest upon these words is if my eyes are closed to never open again. The way the world is headed, I hope they close soon. I hope they close for good and not to just reopen again later in a lighter shade and foreign to those that once knew me.
This isn’t just my story that I write. It’s all of ours; all of us that are still trying to survive. Those still trying to pick up the very little that is left for us. Those of us just trying to carry on. Even when we feel utterly alone we are all connected. Now, in this no longer perfect world, we are either trying to survive or we are already dead.
If by some slim chance that I am still alive should you read this, I hope I find you. I hope we meet and we can share your stories - not your stories of today, but your stories of yesterdays. I crave to hear your stories of blue skies and laughter. I want to hear a story of another time when our families were whole and our friends were close. A time before those same people became things we had to destroy and fear.
As I write this my daughter, Genny, and I are hiding in our home. The neighborhood has become a dangerous place. Things that shouldn’t be possible now surround us. I don’t understand any of it. I only pray that we survive each day. I pray that my daughter, who relies on me completely, never has to watch me die.

About the author:
Marie F Crow is the author of the post-apocalyptic series, The Risen. She weaves her stories around the human element of the horror verses the "monsters" themselves. She believes that the real horror of life does not come from the expected, but from the unexpected responses of the human nature and what depths of trauma a person has to survive in certain situations. She began writing The Risen series when feeling that the popular genre was slipping too deep into the realm of pure "slasher" and forgetting what the horror of zombies can mean for a story.
Now with her children's series launched, Marie hopes to use her favorite "monster" as a teaching tool to inspire children to understand that not everything that looks scary, is scary. With Abigail and Her Pet Zombie series, Marie hopes to further spread her love for all things "that go bump in the night" with small children showing them that it's okay to be different and to embrace those same differences in those around them.
