What started as a night at the theater and a meteor shower ended with the dead walking the planet.
Living in a fortified cul-de-sac in the shadow of Boston a group of refugees have etched out their survival. At times they’re not sure who to fear more; the zombies wandering the streets or the power mad “controller” of Boston, Richard Crenshaw.
Until the day a crazed environmentalist shows up at the gates with promises of “the cure” disrupting their lives.
With a handful of volunteers, Catherine sets off with her team to follow the half-mad scientist to Florida to where he believes the cure for the zombie plague exists. When they arrive in the swamp they are greeted by unexpected horrors both human and inhuman.
The insanity of the scientist, Pierce leads them on a chase through the swamps of Florida searching the cure that ends badly for everyone.
“… a wild and terrifying road trip through the apocalypse! This is top notch zombie action, told with an intelligence and energy that had me begging for more. Goudsward writes what I love!”
-Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award ® -winning author of DEAD CITY and THE DEAD WON’T DIE
“… a solid road-trip zombie novel, with a cool cast, plenty of undead mayhem, and a wild finale in the Florida swamps I didn't see coming. Fans of the subgenre will devour this one in no time.”
-The Horror Fiction Review
“ … the ultimate post-apocalyptic road trip, complete with a megalomaniacal villain, an East coast long race to a possible cure and zombie alligators. What more could a walker fan want or need? Read this book. Read it NOW.”-Jan Kozlowski, author of DIE, YOU BASTARD! DIE!
Fountain of the Dead A Novel of the Zombie Apocalypse eBook Scott T Goudsward
3.5 starsZombies! And not just human ones either! Very cool!
Fountain of the Dead starts out in the suburbs of what's left of Boston about 10 years after Storm Night. That was the night a pretty meteor shower turned into meteors actually hitting the earth and somehow raising the dead. Our plucky group of survivors has come together and started to make a community, sometimes trading with their evil neighbors who control Boston itself. One night a stranger comes to the gates ranting about finding a cure and, of course, they let him in. So begins their journey towards the truth.
I'll have to leave the plot off there, other than to say there were a few turns that did surprise me. I think it's pretty hard to do that, especially being as big a fan of The Walking Dead as I am. The premise of finding a cure is an intriguing one, as most other zombie novels are wholly immersed in just surviving. These characters were well developed, but I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the bad guys. I also liked the imagination and creativity on hand for the very last portion of this novel. Bravo to what happened outside that shed!
I did have some issues with the editing. There were more typos than I would have liked, as well as missing or incorrectly spelled words, which took me out of the story here and there. Luckily, the pacing was good and I was able to hop back into the action without too much trouble.
Fountain of the Dead shows off some incredible imagination, especially towards the end, and for this reason I feel comfortable recommending it to fans of horror, but especially to fans of zombie stories and/or The Walking Dead.

Fountain of the Dead A Novel of the Zombie Apocalypse eBook Scott T Goudsward Reviews
FOUNTAIN OF THE DEAD is the ultimate post-apocalyptic road trip, complete with a megalomaniacal villain, an East coast long race to a possible cure and zombie alligators. What more could a walker fan want or need? Read this book. Read it NOW.”
A solid road-trip zombie novel, with a cool cast, plenty of undead mayhem, and a wild finale in the Florida swamps I didn't see coming. Fans of the subgenre will devour this one in no time.
It's very difficult, these days, to add something new to the zombie story. Mr. Goudsward takes the zombie tropes and molds them into something all his own. The characters feel real and are for the most part people you'd want to be around in such a crisis situation. It makes it all the more heartbreaking when bad things come down on them. Don't be hesitant about giving this one a try. I think Mr. Goudsward will be around a good, long time.
I thoroughly enjoyed Goudward's take on the zombie apocalypse. Bad-ass undead, well-developed characters (both good and bad), and a road trip through Hell to find a cure. It's Horror like I used to read at its peak in the 1980s and 90s, with twists and turns, blood and guts, and a liberal dash of Goudward's sardonic voice. This is a must-read for zombie fans.
Review copy
Now that The Walking Dead has finished its sixth season, what's a zombie fan to do? Writer Scott T. Goudsward has the answer with a new novel.
It all begins with a young family strolling through Boston Common following a night out at a Wiggles concert when a meteor shower goes from being beautiful to deadly. Years later the dead walk and pockets of survivors try to make the best of this new world.
Micah, the young boy from the opening sequence is older now, with a new mom, and he hasn't spoken since that fateful day nearly a decade ago. He communicates using a portable whiteboard and markers. He is also his community's unofficial historian, keeping journals of the events in their village.
A new arrival claims to know of a cure for anyone bitten and in danger of turning. He, himself, exhibits bite marks and seems fine. A trip to Florida to find the source of the cure is a dangerous undertaking.
Fountain of the Dead does have something many stories in this sub-genre lack, a cause and a possible cure. Much the same way The Walking Dead has evolved to seeing threats from other survivors be as much of a problem as the zombies, our group has to deal with a number of dangers from outside their little community. Don't get too attached to any one character, it seems as if they are all expendable, something I really like in a novel of this type.
Look for a genuine 'Oh, wow" moment at about the halfway point. When our travelers get to Georgia some one comments "We're just stopping to refuel right? I've hear bad things about Georgia. Supposed to be one giant walking graveyard." Wait, was that sly reference to The Walking Dead where the show is actually filmed?
Another thing I liked about this tale as that all of the trials and tribulations seemed utterly real and not too contrived.
Fountain of the Dead is published by Post Mortem Press and is available in paperback and e-book formats.
Recommended.
Scott T. Goudsward is the author of numerous short stories, screen plays and novels. He has had an avid interest in the horror genre since seeing the horror classic, Friday the 13th, when he was only 13. By total accident he hails from the same odd New England town--Haverhill, MA--that produced Puritan axe murderess, Hannah Dustin, beloved Abolitionist poet, John Greenleaf Whitter, and TV host, Tom Bergeron, and heavy metal rocker/movie director, Rob Zombie.
I was sucked into the story right from the meteor showers. A good read if you want to get lost in a story. Pulls you in and keeps you there.
A unique kick-off to the newest zombie apocalypse (here, triggered by a meteor shower). After the prologue, the book jumps years later where human survivors are entrenched in separate, and sometimes desperate, havens against the undead. When a scientist arrives in Massachusetts claiming a cure deep in the swamps of Florida, a group of people begin a road trip with a desperate hope for mankind’s survival. They have to fend off not only the undead, but men whose craving for power threatens to stop their plans before they even begin. A clever addition to the zombie pantheon, with good characters and plenty of action.
3.5 stars
