Veteran Hollywood writer offers zombie
novel with brains
Hollywood, CA, November 7, 2010 - With
Rise Again (Simon and Schuster),
veteran Hollywood writer, artist, and
designer Ben Tripp raises the bar for
horror and science fiction alike. With an
uncertain future ahead of us, Tripp goes for
the jugular with a worst-case scenario that
is hard to beat.
Tripp's twenty-year career as an artist,
writer, and designer who has worked with
major entertainment companies and motion
picture studios and traveled the globe has
prepared him to both entertain and challenge
readers. He is one of the world’s leading
