      This is a snippet from a potential work in progress.  *** Rain fell from a cloudless sky. Sadie flicked an annoyed glanced upward, and then back at her brother. “Are you sure this is going to work?” She demanded. “No.” He didn’t look up from the loose assemblage of pipes his hands were busy…

    A complete short story that is not in my usual style. There is violence, gore, cursing, and death. Read at your own peril. Look, I’m not always about cute fluffy dragons, ok?

    A short story presented in full, with a warning: this is not my usual style. This is a military science fiction story with violence, gore, and cursing.

    I have to admit, there’s nothing like finding a scientific paper on zombies, mummification, and, er, caterpillars to put me in the Halloween mood. It’s got it all: mind-controlled caterpillars who submit to their fate, controlled by a monster that isn’t even sentient. Then, the mindless monster sparks wars, is used to cheat in races, and scientists…

And then when I tell you that even the resident curmudgeon read this book and pronounced it a bit of good, light fun,…

    Written by Sanford Begley  Zombie Fallout-Mark Tufo.    Big thumbs down I don’t normally review a book I haven’t read in its entirety. Sometimes though, sometimes the fail is so big you must give fair warning.  This story might get better later on. I doubt it. It starts out with Swine Flu mutating into something virulent, and…

    I’ve been reading John Ringo’s tales for well over a decade now, and I always look forward to them… except I wasn’t sure about this series. Although I’ve written a bit about zombies, most of what I have seen or read was, well, more humorous than anything. Human physiology just doesn’t work that way. But…

    I had a dilemma this week. Jason Cordova sent me the novella Murder World: Kaiju Dawn, to read, and John Holmes sent me a link to his free story, Even Zombie Killers Need a Break. I’d already reviewed Dave Freer’s excellent Stardogs, but what the heck? I thought. I can read a novella and a…
