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.

Zombies!

I read it at lunch.

The sound of sanity breaking. Damn, woman. I'm just going to go home and cuddle my daughter.

But seriously, well done. I look forward to more Newsflesh as a zombie looks forward to eating brains and other assorted human parts.

Better yet, it will prepare you for what's to come.

This intriguing statement. :O

Edit:
Also, the reveal was flawless. Even though I accidentally got spoiled, I just...aaaaahhhhhh. I wanted to hug Alaric so many times. And Elaine. Our poor, dear Elaine. I felt like I was on the journey to madness with her.
I am so glad it worked so well for you.

My best friend, whom Elaine is based on, side-eyed me a LOT while I was writing this one.
Hahaha! I would imagine. "What are you saying here, Seanan? What are you saying about me??" :)
