Thank you so much! and just wait, I'm working on some BIG things in the main series, which should be kicking off on Saturday. And the new home is fantastic! Finally have my office set up, and we adopted a new kitty named Molly, who is currently running around like she owns the place, haha.

She's a funny girl. Was at the shelter for what we think was 2 of her 4 years. Took her a few days before she got used to us and having a large house to run around in, but she's loving it now. Nicknamed her Cannonball Molly because she'll get up a head of steam on the carpet and slam into a side table when she hits the hardwood floors and can't stop.

You guys wanna know something crazy to think about I believe we all was readers before like when I was younger I would love to just read a book and now that I’m older with my wife and kids and work i truly don’t have time to read a book anymore so we listen now and I’m. Very thankful for your uploads I love a good zombie apocalypse book thank you with love 🤟🏾🖤

Man, you're just a damned writing & narrating machine.... Pumping out all this glorious Zompoc goodness for us all to, ahem "get our teeth into" (see what I did there.?😉) every few days.!! AND FOR FREE NO LESS.!!🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️£$0:00🤯😲👍👍☺😂 And you haven't made your zombies weird, like giving them super powers, making them think or talk, turning the flora & fauna into mega uber monsters..! Nope.!! You're very obviously a well grounded & sensible type of zombie apocalypse lover.. The realistic type.! The type that could plausibly happen.!! You just stuck to the "Romero or 28 days later" zombie lore, you made your choice, decided on the cause of the outbreak, went with the obvious option of being bitten means you're turning Zed, head shots are the only way to put them down for good (kudos for pointing out just how incredibly difficult that is to achieve btw) & YOU'VE JUST F**KIN ROLLED WITH IT.!!.!! (If only every choice in life were as easy as the Romero or 28 days later zombie choice.. The best kind of choice where either choice is THE GOD DAMNED RIGHT CHOICE.!!!) That my Zompoc churning out mofo is what I call ABSOLUTE F**KIN AWESOMENESS ON TOAST WITH A SHOT OF VODKA... (I call it that because I'm weird.... Also because I'm slightly drunk on vodka.!... Also, I'm hungry.!! So toast & vodka my turn of phrase shall consist of.!! 😉 😉) Btw.. Thank you so much for not falling into the trap of turning every character into a gun expert & explicitly describing every aspect of whichever firearm & type of ammunition they happen to be using.!! A gun is a gun & it shoots bullets... Nuff said.! 😉 👍 ..... ...... ...... ...... Thank you so very much for your hard work & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 👍 👍 👍

This just might be my favorite series review ever. Thank you so much! And yeah, before I started the series I wrote down the "rules" for this series, and no matter what I was going to stick to them. I also made sure to address one of the most maddening tropes in these types of stories, people looking for a "cure" or "vaccine". Like 90% of the country is dead, so a vaccine isn't going to do much to change things. And I always thought both the Romero zombies and the DotD remake runner zombies had their pluses, so figured I'd do the best of both worlds and just have them both! And now I want some toast and vodka 😀 I'm working hard on more big things too. I decided to take the leap to writing full time this year, and while it's a little scary, I'm going to make the most of the time and take the biggest swing at it possible!

Thank you for the early story Derek!

These stories are so interesting and good for the most part. The reactions of the characters to this new situation of zombies are believable. It does make me wonder how we would react if this happened today? We have watched so many zombie movies and if the rules hold true, would we make some of the mistakes that the characters made.

Thank you so much! Too many times in zombie stories/movies, they take place in universes where zombie media didn't exist, and I wanted to do it differently. In this particular situation, with fast zombies, I'm pretty sure I'd be gone in the first 24, haha

Loving this

Handguns do not spin bodies around on impact, and neither do shotguns blow people off their feet

As someone who served in the Marines I can 100% verify that they would send you out on some stupid ass thing and not give you all of the details. Like yeah they're all violent and hostile but they would leave out just like they did the fact that they're eating each other and if you get bit you turn

This was a killer story, seeing them have a slight jump and be able to grab a defendable position. Id have to look, but back when Captain Kyle Split off from Terrell, they ended up meeting up with another captain at a stadium for greenhouses and farming. Is the the prequel to that chain of story?

@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor

Thank you ! And yes, this was just a different group that was doing the same thing Captain Kyle and his group were doing. I forget the number off the top of my head, but I believe there are something like 17 stadiums spread out across the country
