William Todd Rose is a speculative fiction author whose work lends itself to the dark, often times surreal, world of the macabre. His debut novella, Shadow of the Woodpile, sought to blur the lines between the horror genre and the stream of consciousness narrative style of 50s Beat writers such as Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs.

Woodpile was followed up with Cry Havoc, a brutal novel that explores what happens when people simply give up on society and do whatever they please. After this, his short story collection, Sex in the Time of Zombies was unleashed upon the worldand was downloaded thounds of times in countries spanning the globe. Initially offered as a free download on his website, Sex was soon picked up for a print edition by Living Dead Press.

The first edition of The 7 Habits of Highly Infective People (a novel of time travel, contagion, drugs, and the living dead) had only been on the market for a matter of months before rights to the second, revised and expanded edition were snatched up by specialty publisher Permuted Press. Around this same time, Rose released an e-book only experiment in brutality entitled Shut The Fuck Up And Die! which pays homage to the grindhouse revenge films that fueled his imagination as a child.

His unique take on the undead apocalypse was furthered with the Libray of the Living Dead Press release of The Dead & Dying. While set in the same universe as Sex in the Time of Zombies and The 7 Habits, the three books should not be considered a triology. They are simply different tales that occur in the same world.

Mr. Rose is currently at work on his next prject. For more information, please visit www.williamtoddrose.com
