FRANKENSTEIN ENTERPRISES
Each chapter of Frankenstein Enterprises explores a different perspective of life and death under high-tech necro-capitalism, including a grieving mother who finds her deceased son working at the supermarket deli counter, a soldier operating horrific drone weaponry, a grave robber trying to dig his way to the executive suite, and a journalist risking everything to uncover Victor Frankenstein’s dark secrets. The zombie apocalypse has arrived, civilization is falling apart, and business is booming.

Victor Frankenstein is the richest man on Earth. In 1994 he shocked the world by patenting a process for reanimating and controlling human cadavers. Twenty-five years later, his invention has transformed every aspect of society. Zombies drive cabs, serve tables, pick crops, police the streets, fight wars, and much more, their slightest motions coordinated by the iGor computer network. Dr. Frankenstein sits atop a vast corporate empire that reaches for the stars, while the poor survive by mortgaging the rights to their mortal remains. And the walking dead are becoming smarter and more capable at an alarming pace...

A SEASON OF LOATHSOME MIRACLES
A vengeful witch twists time and space on her way to the pyre, and hundreds of years later, a woman loses everything to the addictive lure of omniscience. A Season of Loathsome Miracles has begun, a season untethered to the sun and spanning across centuries. A World War I flying ace is conscripted into war on a cosmic scale, and a musician of the distant future travels beyond known space to play the ultimate concert. A vice cop scours the streets of Manson-era Los Angeles in search of a sentient snuff film while, in our own time, a yoga student learns a new practice that transforms her, body and soul. Max D. Stanton's debut collection assembles thirteen short stories of gruesome horror, bleak ascensions, and gallows humor.
