THE DAMNED
Book ID/图书代码： 06580111B50999
English Summary/英文概要： Tombs. Hundreds of them. All lying in concentric rings in the greasy, cold darkness of the cavern. At their very centre, hanging from a burnt and blackened tree. a huge, cracked bell. And under that, The Gate, built from the bones of a thousand murdered souls. Lazarus knew ringing the bell would be very bad. He also knew he had no choice - he needed the kind of help only Hell could give him... The Dead don’t just want to return, they want Earth for themselves. And it’s Lazarus Stone, Keeper of the Dead, who has to stop them. Trouble is, the Dead are the exact opposite of rotting, stumbling corpses. And they desire one thing only: to live again. To do that, all they need is a good supply of fresh, warm bodies... Lazarus now knows his mum murdered him, betrayed his dad, and is about to open a portal between worlds that will bring about the end of life as we know it. Trouble is, his best mate has disappeared (again), he still hasn’t rescued his dad (but he will), and the only help he has is that of an undead priest (who carries a blunderbuss) and a female angel (who drives a 4x4 and has an alcohol problem). This isn’t just about saving the world, this is personal...
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 墳墓，數以百計的死屍。所有的這些油膩的，共同躺在冰冷洞穴裡的,處於同心環上的死屍。在他們地處的正中心位置，懸掛著一顆被燒焦發黑的大樹，一座破裂的鐘。而在這個下面是，一座由成千個被謀殺者冤魂的屍骨所堆砌成的一道巨門。Lazarus知道弄響這個鐘會很麻煩，他也知道他別無選擇 — 他所需要的那種説明只有地獄能提供給他……死神不只是想要回去，他想要為自己佔有地球。而Lazarus Stone，他不得不去阻止死神的護衛，不讓這一切發生。麻煩的是，死神的對面是腐爛的活死屍。而他們唯一的願望就是：重生。為了達到這個目的，他們所需要的就是一些充足的新鮮的，剛死的屍體……Lazarus現在知道他的母親殺了他，背叛了他的父親，而正如我們所知的那樣，即將打開通向人類世界的這扇大門，將會導致地球生命的終結。更糟的是，他最好的夥伴再次消失不見了，他仍未救出他的父親（不過他會努力的），他唯一能得到的幫助是來自於（一個隨身攜帶老式大口徑短槍的）亡靈牧師和一位（駕駛著四輪驅動跑車的，有著酗酒問題的）女天使。這不僅是關於拯救世界的故事，這是一部個人的歷程……(Sandy)

About the Author/作者介绍： David was born in Bristol and grew up with his two younger brothers between the Cotswolds, Wensleydale and Lincolnshire. Aside from having a huge number of hobbies including: caving, camping, climbing, archery, shooting and music, David also wrote avidly. Although he had his first book published aged 18, it’s taken many more years and life experiences to lead to writing The Dead. Seeing two ghosts, being mistaken for a homeless person and almost drowning have given David plenty of food for thought, but it’s his family who’ve been a big inspiration. Now living in rural Somerset with his wife and two boys, David writes full-time and hopes to see ghost number three very shortly.
David和他的两个年幼的兄弟在位于科茨沃尔德（位于英国西南部，羊毛产地），温斯利代尔（英国地名）林肯郡（英格兰郡名）之间的布里斯托尔（英国港口城市）出生长大。除了有大量的爱好包括：洞穴探险，露营，爬山，箭术，射击和音乐外，David还很热衷与写作。虽然他在18岁是出版发行了他的第一本小说，运用了自己多年 生活经历而撰写出这部《The Dead/死神》。由于目睹了两个鬼魂，他被误以为是流浪汉还差点被淹死，这使得David文思泉涌，但他的家族已经是一个很大的灵感源泉。现在他和妻子和两个儿子住在萨默塞特乡下，David现在从事全职写作，并希望再次能短暂的看到鬼魂。
