accomplished"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.

I love the surprise and I love how you didn't make it part of the climax. It was just a small little aside that packed a huge punch of revelation :)
I absolutely adore how you start your chapters in most or all of the Feed universe with a blog post or letter or excerpt from a communication. I can't tell you how much I enjoy those. With this book, I particularly reveled in how much tension these chapter starters built.
It reminds me of Feed and the chapter when Georgia died - you started off the chapter with a "postcard from the wall" from Georgia. The idea that you could kill Georgia seemed inconceivable (saying this like in Princess Bride :D), but instead of feeling like it gave everything away, I instead was overwhelmed with huge tension and I was that much more enthralled and tightly gripping my Kindle. I never forgot how it was to read that chapter in Feed. What you did in "Show and Tell" was like that Feed chapter, but for the entire book. Awesome.
Very minor thing - Surprised the publisher (or whoever handles this) didn't include Half Off Ragnorok (Intrepid book 3) in the list of books you've written, even though it came out almost a year ago.
