A Zombie’s Christmas — Mad Science and a Strickfield Undead Rampage Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

Strickfield’s secretive Blue Ribbons have captured zombies for study, but keeping the undead under control proves much harder than observing them. Scientist Vickie Van Wert’s work and Rayleen Hollow’s dangerous involvement set the stage for a Christmas outbreak no family gathering is prepared to handle. Rob Fields’s “A Zombie’s Christmas” combines mad science, flesh-eating horror and the consequences of treating monsters as research material. In a village already crowded with supernatural secrets, one holiday experiment threatens to spill into the streets.

The Real First Thanksgiving — A Pilgrim Cannibal Horror Story Nov 27, 2024

A Thanksgiving invitation leads Dan Mullins toward the Billington family and a meal with a horrifying history. Bruce Haney’s “The Real First Thanksgiving” twists Pilgrim imagery and family tradition into a gruesome cannibal horror story, where the people welcoming a guest have their own idea of hospitality. This is fictional holiday terror, not an account of the historical first Thanksgiving. Settle in for a dark, extended tale of captivity, dangerous hosts and the dread of discovering what a family has been passing down at its table.
