HELL TO THE CHIEF All United States Presidents have the same lesson to learn, and they all learn it early on the first full morning of their respective Administrations. They are all confronted with the horrific secret at the heart of the White House...the one that subjects them to a blood-soaked, savage battle for survival. To commemorate the 2012 election season, Hugo, Nebula and Stoker Nominee Adam-Troy Castro presents a newly-updated edition of one of his all-time strangest short stories, a one-of-a-kind mixture of political satire and relentless zombie horror that pits a new President against a siege by...the Founding Fiends. Will Democracy survive...and what will be left of it?

On a savage backwater world, the last ragged survivors of an expedition to hunt down the infamous war criminal known as The Beast Magrison set off into an inhospitable wilderness in search of the alien village that may be sheltering this beast. The hunters are aliens from two different species, the village is inhabited by strange aliens of yet another species, and Magrison himself is no sterling advertisement for humanity. Who''s human in this situation? The answer may surprise and upset you. This novella from acclaimed SF writer Adam-Troy Castro explores the fate of the dread Magrison. Readers can find out more about the world that spawned Magrison by tracking down his Andrea Cort novels, Emissaries from the Dead and The Third Claw of God.
