Free (Kindle) Plague Pit by Marc Alexander [Archaeological Medical Horror Thriller]
Plague Pit by New Zealand author Marc Alexander (ISFDB, SFE) is his vintage archaeological/medical horror thriller set in modern-day London, where an ancient disease is unleashed when construction unwisely uncovers a burial crypt which dates back to a 17th century plague outbreak, free courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint, who are e-printing it from its 1981 edition originally out from Hamlyn using his Mark Ronson pseudonym.
Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else that Amazon sells worldwide, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program) Description The pit that should never have been disturbed… Deep foundations are being dug on a City building site when some old brickwork is revealed. Part of it collapses, releasing a gust of air so foul that all the men nearby begin to choke and retch. Finally the nauseous stench disperses and they discover a burial crypt dating back to the Great Plague of London in 1665. But these pit should never be disturbed. But when the intruders begin to show horrifying symptoms – fever, nausea, revolting swellings – the true horror of the pit is revealed. All die hideously within five days. By opening a burial crypt that should never have been touched, they have unleashed an infection on the nation that the authorities must prevail to control. Ignoring the threat, the government warn the spreading of a Super-flu to attempt to contain the panic. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the infection. Charity, a local radio station presenter, and Paul, a scientist, are determined to unveil the truth, and save lives. But the powers from above are too strong. Can the pair find some way to combine the power of science with the power of media? The infection is fast spreading, but Paul and Charity must endeavour to spread the word and find a cure. All the while, one of the men from the building site has mysteriously disappeared and cannot be traced... Plague Pit is a chilling horror-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It was previously published under the pseudonym Mark Ronson. |

A shame they couldn't use the original artwork. I love lurid horror covers.
