Diary of the Displaced by Glynn James
There is a place where nightmares are real. It is a dark and terrifying
place, hidden from the world we know, by borders that only the most
unfortunate of souls will ever cross.
James Halldon woke up in
the dark, alone, without any food or water, without a clue where he was,
and with no memory of where he came from.
It only got stranger.
For
James has somehow found his way to The Corridor. A place where zombies
stumble in the darkness, ever seeking the flesh and blood of the living.
A midnight land where tentacled behemoths spawn in the fetid swamps.
Nightmares that no human should ever see. The prison of a creature that
has destroyed entire worlds.
Somehow James has to learn to
survive. But he is not alone. The lost souls of others who have drifted
into this infernal place and died, also haunt this world. Trapped
forever in the afterlife.
They have been waiting a long time for someone to come along.
Anyone.
"Of all the places I had to end up, it had to be here."
The
Journal of James Halldon is a dark fantasy novel (with occasional
humour) and the first in a series of interconnected dark tales. The
novel follows Halldon's struggle to survive whilst trying to understand
the strange, dark, and terrifying world in which he is trapped.
If it's dark when you wake up, and you can hear growling, then close your eyes and maybe it will go away.
But maybe it won't...
Valley of Death by William Bebb
Just a few miles outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, there's something
horribly wrong in a remote valley. To their eternal regret some people
have mistaken the screams, echoing in the hills, as coyotes singing to
the moon. When Josey drives his truck down into the valley, he quickly
learns the horrifying truth. It's not coyotes howling- it's men, or what
used to be men. Josey discovers that the valley is home to the
depraved, the noble, the damned, the innocent, the beautiful, and of
course the walking dead. When the least dangerous thing you encounter is
an angry rattlesnake you know you've made a wrong turn in Albuquerque.
If
you like Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland you'll love Valley of Death.
The story is over 110,000 words in length. It's eighteen chapters of
adventure, excitement, horror, and thoughtful humor.
What kind of zombies are they?
There has been an interesting but ultimately pointless debate going on
for years about what constitutes a zombie. Is it a dead person who walks
around causing mayhem? Or is it someone who is violently insane and
seeks only to kill and destroy? Why not both?
Nestled in a
remote valley, the residents of The Albuquerque Springs Trailer Park
have lived out there lives nearly forgotten by the rest of the world.
The trailer park is home to dozens of illegal immigrants, a hermit who
has turned his back on society, a veteran of World War 2, a grumpy old
woman, a family of Meth cookers known to local police officials as the
Redneck Gourmets, and a beautiful young woman, are just a few.
Life
was peaceful, quiet, and boring until a deadly industrial accident
killed Juan, one of the illegal immigrants. His friends and neighbors
promised to dispose of the victim's body. Unfortunately, he came back
and disposed of them- one mouthwatering bite at a time.
