Reviews
Dead Men Kill is the only zombie horror story Hubbard wrote, and the author succeeds by presenting this questionable subject in a realistic manner. He doesn't try to overexplain, but simply focuses on keeping up the story's quick pace (so we don't think about it too much). Its focus on the Haitian voodoo aspects should appeal to fans of more recent takes on the same subject, such as Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's novel Cemetery Dance ., "Hubbard's rollicking horror yarn just happens to tap into the current craze for zombies. Heroic Det. Sgt. Terrence "Terry" Lane looks into a deeply disturbing series of murders of powerful businessmen. Dawn Drayden, a pretty Club Haitian entertainer, confirms Lane's hunch that the killers are dead men "coming back from the grave and killing their employers." The zombie mastermind is the nefarious Dr. Leroux, originally of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, aka Loup-garou (or human hyena). In the end, Drayden and Lane must face heart-pounding dangers once Dr. Leroux's secrets are revealed. This fun, campy novella reflects a contemporary revenge vibe felt by those who wouldn't mind dispatching a few zombies to punish criminally inclined businessmen." -Publishers Weekly , Dead Men Killis the only zombie horror story Hubbard wrote, and the author succeeds by presenting this questionable subject in a realistic manner.

Ron Hubbard is probably best known as the founder of Scientology and creator of Dianetics. These days, his name is largely connected with the antics of the some of the more "outspoken" members of the religion, overshadowing the fact that the man really knew how to tell an entertaining story. Galaxy Press is reprinting all 150 of the stories Hubbard wrote for the pulp magazines of the 1930s and '40s, and giving the series the evocative title Stories from the Golden Age. The recordings I've tried so far are just terrific. They are a professionally produced combination of traditional narrated audiobooks (with narration deftly handled by R.F. Daley) and old-time radio, with skilled actors playing the characters (often multiple roles) and genre-specific music and sound effects rounding out the experience. "I have come to kill you, Gordon." So says a voice reminiscent of the grave, as its fingers wrap around Gordon's throat and slowly take his life. Detective Sergeant Terry Lane arrives on the scene and notes the similarity with another recent murder. All the evidence points to a no-longer-assailant, and Lane's fears are confirmed when he uncovers the suspect's empty coffin and has to fight off a trio of expressionless figures with only his fists. For a while, Lane has only questions, like how do a letter from "Loup-Garou," a Haitian pharmacy bill, and the mysterious Dr. Leroux tie in to the murders? The primary targets seem to be rich and influential businessmen, but if Lane doesn't find out who's responsible and stop the culprit, the next zombie will be him. Matt Scott turns in a solid performance as the ultranoble Lane, and John Mariano plays the mad scientist with relish (complete with a selection of diabolical laughs). But the real star of the Dead Men Kill audiobook is narrator R.F. Daley.

Synopsis
As a police detective, he wants to know is who's behind the murders that have been targeting the wealthy of his city. So he starts digging into very dangerous ground. He runs into something out of an apocalyptic horror. Something which cannot be reasoned with, something which cannot be bought, something which has no remorse about ending it's victim's lives. And adds the victims to the ranks of the killers as zombies... The living dead and zombie books were as delusional and unheard of as a sane communist dictator. The Zombie Survival Guide is advice handed out by a drugged out homeless man on 5th street. All Detective Lane knows is that 6 feet under is no longer "for good". At least not anymore. He doesn't have a chance of killing something already dead. Not a chance in hell. As every second ticks by, the undead's ranks grow, and the city is closer to being lost. With his own life the next targeted for murder, can Terry find the out what's bringing the dead back to life and turning them into killers? Or will the city become a very new type of grave yard? In 1934, while living in New York, the heart of the publishing industry, Hubbard struck up a friendship with the city's medical examiner--a relationship that started his education in undetectable crime and provided him with authoritative clinical background for his detective stories. "A rollicking horror yarn [that] taps into the current craze for zombies. . . . heart-pounding." --Publishers Weekly *An International Book Awards Winner, Detective Terry Lane is a standout homicide cop who thought he'd seen it all ... until now. Lane has seen the darkest side of human behavior but he's never seen a murder spree like this, targeting the wealthy, the powerful and the privileged. For the evidence is clear: the killers have not emerged from the seamy underside of the city ... but from six feet under it. They are the walking dead, spreading terror and showing no mercy. Following a trail of drugs, blackmail, and the twisted clues of a seductive nightclub singer, Detective Lane will have to think outside the box ... or he could end up inside one, buried alive. Lock your doors and turn on the lights as Dead Men Kill brings the dead to life. "A rollicking horror yarn that] taps into the current craze for zombies.... heart-pounding." --Publishers Weekly * An International Book Awards Winner, Detective Terry Lane is a standout cop who thought he'd seen it all ... until now. But he's never seen a murder spree like this. The evidence is clear: the killers have not emerged from the underside of the city, but from six feet under it--the walking dead. And if Lane doesn't think outside the box ... he could end up inside one, buried alive. Lock your doors and turn on the lights as the audio version of Dead Men Kill brings the dead to life.
