Time for class: "The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell" available now!

The Rising only lasted for three years. The repercussions will last forever. For Elaine Oldenburg, those repercussions are about to change everything.

"The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell" is available now from most ebook outlets. This Newsflesh-universe story fills in a piece of the past that has previously been left hidden, for good reason. Join Elaine as she tries to get her students out of an outbreak alive, and without casualties. (Try not to read the blurb on the landing page, as it's way spoilery.)

She's not going to save them all.

I'm really excited about this one. It's a story I've wanted to tell for quite some time, and it pulls no punches, which is always nice for me, since I fancy myself a horror author. Better yet, it will prepare you for what's to come. (It will also help feed my cats. As always, a major concern.)

This will also serve as your discussion post.

Read it at 12.02 this morning when my Amazon preorder dropped it onto my phone. Then went and cuddled my daughter for a while. No reason.

Incidentally, thanks so much for warning about the spoiler on the blurb. I *loved* the way we found out who Elaine was, what broke her and what led her to become who we know. Went back to reread her scenes from the original trilogy and have become convinced that you already knew her whole backstory before you wrote Blackout and Deadline. Is that right?

It is right!

Lucky you, to get it on Amazon. UK, I assume? Amazon US is fighting with her publisher, so couldn't get it here. I had to charge up my old Nook and get it from Barnes and Noble!

I got it from Amazon US about 2 seconds after Seanan posted this yesterday. Had to go to Amazon directly and search for it - the publisher didn't offer a link from the website - but it was and is available on Amazon US.

I got it on Amazon US on Monday as a pre-order.

(I work in Amazon advertising tech & am thus probably more comfortable with searching the site. I routinely have to search the site for tech reasons - "Mira", "Seanan", and "Springsteen" are my most common.)

I fully understand.
