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!

So I started reading this last night, continued on the morning bus into work, and finished it in the staffroom at lunchtime. Yep, it was a totally appropriate place to read this :P And I loved it! My favourite stuff is always a tie between the politics and the logistics of the post-Rising world, so thanks for cramming in loads of both!

(And noooo I totally didn't spend idle moments today wondering which of my pupils were above the amplification threshold. Nope.)

(Also my school would be really hard to defend against zombies in.)
