“Jeremy is a pretty impressive dude.”
— Peter Straub, New York Times Bestselling Author, A Dark Matter, Ghost Story
PRAISE FOR JEREMY WAGNER’s RABID HEART


"RABID HEART maintains a sharp, persistently moving narrative of the protagonist’s personal quandary and eventual flight. It’s immensely fun, and Rhonda Driscoll dishes out one-liners with panache…an endlessly entertaining zombie tale that checks off genre conventions with style."
— Kirkus Reviews

"RABID HEART evokes a mix of Misfits lyrics and grainy VHS horror classics.
The plot draws parallels to Cormac McCarthy's The Road..."
— PW Author Spotlight

"RABID HEART, feels like a crowning achievement, anchored by an inspiring, salt-of-the-earth female protagonist as it brings the heart and horror in equal measure."
— Rue Morgue Magazine

"Zombies and the end of days don't stand a chance against true love. Jeremy Wagner's RABID HEART is good, clean apocalyptic fun."
— Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger

"Just when you think you've heard every love story, along comes RABID HEART.

— Peter Blauner, NY Times bestselling author of The Intruder and Sunrise Highway

9/10 REVIEW "RABID HEART is Wagner’s finest work to date. Exciting and near-addictive.
A page-turner that avid horror aficionados will be drawn to with glee."
— Dead Rhetoric Magazine

"RABID HEART is a next level opus that raises the stakes co
