In my world, a bite means a change to a zombie, but there are also blood infections. Get splashed with zombie blood, and you鈥檒l change but no one knows how soon. It turns people into ticking time bombs. That鈥檚 what happened to Samantha, and to the girl Trevor loves. They鈥檙e infected, but not changed into zombies, yet.
When someone does change, they go through stages of madness and rage. They鈥檙e still fast. Eventually, zombies become slow and docile. They will wander with sheep in a field, but they can get aggressive again if provoked. Don鈥檛 provoke the zombies, it gets ugly fast.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

H.E. Roulo The novel Plague Master: Sanctuary Dome started as a 40 minute audio drama submitted to Necropolis Studio Productions for their Omega Road Chronicles.鈥辞谤别The novel Plague Master: Sanctuary Dome started as a 40 minute audio drama submitted to Necropolis Studio Productions for their Omega Road Chronicles. They selected it right away (look for the audio drama online!).
Next, I turned the idea into a short for the Live and Let Undead themed anthology. And that sold right away.
At that point, it seemed a no-brainer to expand the world I鈥檇 come to love. I already had Samantha, who is searching for her brother鈥檚 murderer. For the novel, I added the story of Trevor, a teenager from a downtrodden planet. He wants to fight against the zombies swarming his world, but opportunity is scarce. He鈥檚 working as zombie-bait for the local militia when the girl he likes becomes infected. They get sent to the Sanctuary Dome, a punishment that鈥檚 actually a big improvement, but he鈥檚 not infected and is trying to save everyone, even his home world, from this disease.

Dark Matter Finale on Apple TV+

So, who has finished Dark Matter?

The alternate-universe series is on Apple TV+. It sticks very close to the book by author Blake Crouch, who had a hand in adapting it to be a series. In fact, he was able to add more material, so this is one of the rare cases where the TV series may be even better than the book. And I loved the book!

What did you think of the ending? Surprised? Satisfied? I post my
