Zero Lives Remaining (Singularity)

It's gamers versus ghosts in this pulse-pounding novella from the USA Today bestselling author of Clown in a Cornfield.

"Cesare is a true master of fast-paced, fun, balls-out, over-the-top fear fiction, and those narrative talents are on full display in this video-arcade-set gore-o-rama ghost novel. -FANGORIA

It’s 1989, and Robby Asaro is making FunCave Arcade’s pizzas when his sleeve is caught on the pizza oven conveyor belt, and he dies a brutal death. But that wasn't the end for Robby, who is now a friendly ghost watching over the gamers of the arcade.

Fast forward to 2014, and this retro video arcade is still going strong as teens flock to both the new games on the main floor and the old classics on the second. What they don't know is that FunCave is now haunted by the man who died there in the 1980s. Robby cares about the regulars, especially Tiffany Park. When Robby tries to protect Tiffany from a bully, his first kill has unintended consequences as he absorbs his victim's hate and rage. He can't help what he does next as more bodies pile up and the patrons of the arcade are trapped inside.

Blood and ectoplasm fly in this new edition of the nostalgic slasher from the incomparable award-winning and bestselling author Adam Cesare.

"Adam Cesare solidifies himself as the Herschell Gordon Lewis of horror lit with Zero Lives Remaining, a dizzying fizz of kinetic energy, corn syrup blood and guts, and an added dab of pathos to warm our eviscerated hearts." -Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters
