Dead Days Publishing Date

Dead Days sequel to Falling into the Undead will be available on January 31st! Only in ebook at first but I’ll quickly have a physical copy available next in February. This announcement is far more last minute than I would like but I hope you are all are as excited as I am! The pre-orders should be showing up as available to be see on Amazon soon! 💚🧟‍♂️ #fyp #TheUndeadSeries #read #bookish #zombies

1/28 Edited to

If you're a fan of The Undead Series, the upcoming release of Dead Days is definitely something to look forward to. From my experience following this series, the transition from ebook to physical copy often brings a new level of excitement, allowing fans to collect a tangible piece of the story. Pre-ordering the ebook not only guarantees early access but also supports the author directly, which is fantastic for indie authors like Faye Sterling. What's compelling about Dead Days is how it continues the engaging narrative from Falling into the Undead, blending elements of suspense, horror, and character-driven storytelling. Zombies and undead themes have a way of capturing readers' imaginations, making this sequel a must-read for lovers of the genre. Watching the story unfold through digital format initially is a trend I'm noticing more, as it allows for quicker release and wider accessibility, especially during these times when physical book distribution can face delays. For those who enjoy joining fan communities, using hashtags like #TheUndeadSeries, #zombies, and #bookish on social platforms can connect you with other readers excited about Dead Days. Personally, engaging with other fans before a book launch heightens the anticipation and often introduces me to fascinating interpretations and theories about plot developments. Keep an eye on Amazon soon for the pre-order option. Once you have your copy, setting aside some quiet time to immerse yourself fully is key. These books can be quite absorbing and perfect for fans of thrilling, undead-themed fiction. Whether you prefer reading on your e-reader or curling up with a physical book, Dead Days promises to be a rewarding addition to your collection.
