Ode to Zombiephiles

CONTAINED by Shawn Weaver is a short story featuring two guys who are hired to do some work on an old movie set. From the mysterious oil bins to their sinister boss, the job doesn't feel right. When Jim is injured, Mark must make some difficult decisions.

I think zombie fans will enjoy this one.

My Eyes Hurt

MISSISSIPPI DEAD by Shawn Weaver is the worst piece I've read by this author. Throughout the story, I assumed the undead were mindless zombies, especially when they're falling into the water, but the ending takes the dead into a very different direction, inconsistent with previous scenes.

The lack of editing is atrocious. This is not the first time I've taken issue with Weaver's rough writing, but publishing something in this condition is just ridiculous, especially with all the promos added on. Who in their right mind is going to read more by this author, after this wreck?

This is the ninth story I've read by this author, and I don't see myself reading any more of his work, if he isn't going to improve the editing. I'm so disappointed.

As always,
