Larry Brasington
Biography
I like to write the genre of stories I read. Action and strong story line. Born in the South I have a special bias for all things Southern, fried chicken, biscuits, catfish, summer thunderstorms, and football. During those summer months I liked nothing better than the cheap movies and baseball. Those old thrillers left me with a desire to write. My first published stories were in 1972, “Temple in the Swamp” and "The Valley", a H. P. Lovecraft like tales. Funny thing is I didn't get paid for them until 38 years later. There's a story. Numerous short stories have been featured in the www.powdermonkey.biz, an online magazine for gamers. He currently has two novels, “Alien Madness” (an eBook), “Brandenburgers—Invasion of Russia”, and Anthology “Zombie Feast”, and two Novellas, “Fiery Knights” and my most popular series “Sum Yung Gye: Elf Detective.” All are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble online or Smashwords.

- World War of the Dead: A Zombie Military Thriller
on July 12, 2011
World War of the Dead was an exciting read. Story jumps right into the action and rushes to the End of Days. If you're looking for something, quick, fun and compelling. Try WWD.
- Bigfoot War
on Aug. 20, 2011
I enjoyed Bigfoot War. Living in the south I can picture it all happening only to well. I recommend this story for a good read and enjoyable. There are plot twist and turn and frankly I didn't know where Eric Brown was going to end the story.
Good kick back read.
- Bigfoot War 2: Dead in the Woods
on Sep. 02, 2011
(no rating)
In book two Eric Brown escalades the war. The conflict spreads to the neighboring states. Plenty of Undeadness, action, and battles. This story kept my interest all the way to the end. A good sequel to the first book. I can recommend it.
