Braaaiiiiinnnnnsssss…
While my buddy Myke Cole, winner of the 2003 Writers of the Future award for his story Blood and Horses is busy putting the finishing touches on a novel sure to knock people’s socks off, he’s asked me in the meantime to mention that the recent Best of All Flesh zombie anthology includes his short story, Shouting Down the Moon, which I did beta-reads and edits on, way back when. In his words:
Shouting Down the Moon is a twist on paranormal romance – the Zombie love story, set on the African Savannah. A grieving lover joins her tribe mining for the gold they desperately need to finance their defenses. All depends on silence, as the mines are overrun by ravenous monsters drawn by the slightest sound. A sudden noise would mean the end of them, but a love that reaches beyond the grave may prove their salvation.
The anthology, edited by James Lowder (whose Forgotten Realms novels I used to read as a kid) also includes some other notable authors such as Tobias Buckell, Scott Edelman, Ed Greenwood, and Jim C. Hines. More about it on Suvudu.
I know….I know….zombies are great…..but they give ::me:: the creeps! I had to stop playing Unreal in high school for the same reason….I kept having nightmares I was bouncing from building to building shooting people! yikes!
Thanks, Pete!
