Uncle John Goes to Washington
By John A. Russo
They tried to bury him. Now he’s back—and running for Congress.
In a world teetering on the brink of political absurdity and social unrest, one unexpected candidate steps into the spotlight: Uncle John—a resurrected zombie with a heart of gold, a brain that still works (mostly), and a mission to make democracy undead again.

From viral town hall videos to a Capitol Hill campaign filled with conspiracy, corruption, and supernatural sabotage, John’s journey is both hilarious and harrowing. With a ragtag team of allies—including a vampire bodyguard, a hacker prodigy, and a PR strategist with nerves of steel—he sets out to prove that justice isn’t just for the living.
But powerful enemies want him silenced. And they’re not above unleashing dark science, dirty politics, and the undead elite to stop him.
A razor-sharp political satire packed with suspense, wit, and surprisingly heartfelt moments, Uncle John Goes to Washington delivers a bold message wrapped in brains, ballots, and bite."

INHUMAN
A Novel by John A. Russo, Co-Creator of Night of the Living Dead
The snakes are coming. The prophecy was clear. But nobody could have imagined the horror slithering their way…
In the heart of rural Carson Valley, a secluded mansion becomes a summer retreat for couples seeking peace and healing. But when a hijacked plane crashes in the nearby mountains—its occupants brain-damaged and violently deranged—a nightmare descends on the peaceful estate.
As militant survivors, more dead than alive, stalk the woods, a child’s chilling warning echoes: “Great big snakes a-comin’ to kill us…”
Now, the therapists, their patients, and a fractured local family must confront not only the rising terror—but the madness that has haunted their valley for generations. And what comes crawling out of the trees may not be human at all.
Part Southern Gothic, part zombie nightmare, INHUMAN is a serpentine descent into prophecy, paranoia, and primal fear."
