There is zomething about zombies!

9/23/2014

     What is it about the undead we love so much? Since George Romero wrote the rules for zombification, we have had a love affair with the shamblers, the running mad men, and the decaying dudes. 
     Romero always indicated that his movies were about far more than a bunch of zombies and indeed, he explored racial situations, crowd behavior, and social tension. Infamously the message "they are us. We are them" has been the underlying theme. We wonder what it is like to lose the familial connections, our sense of morality, and sense of self. That scares us. We don't want to be "like that" and yet, as much as we fear it and fear it happening to those we love, we are also drawn to it. 
    I think we love to watch zombies because they are the ultimate in adversaries. They look like us, but they are the enemy. Zombies can't think, and yet, they are a worthy opponent. They have weight, they have no fear, they feel no pain, and they feel no remorse or sympathy. They are us, but without the human parts. They are the antithesis of what people are and yet...they look like us, with a little rot and ruin for fun.

Eight months ago the world turned upside-down in the most horrifying way. The dead came back to life and started killing the living. Within weeks, zombies ruled the world. In a small southern Ohio town, Joel, a twenty-something underachiever finds himself holed up with a group of survivors as they take refuge in a church.

Beside the still water...the zombies roam.
A slightly different take on the zombie genre,Smooth asks if the world be better if we were all neutral and complacent (without violence, greed, hatred, and yes, love and compassion) in our personalities? The town of Cold Springs is about to receive the gift of full serenity and some people intend to fight it (as well as the zombies) all the way to the end!

So you think you know how the world ends? Think again! With Piercing Undead, T.L.Decay offers an alternative look at a very different apocalypse scenario. Tom and Melisa return from a week long camping trip to discover a world very different from the one they left behind. Narrowly escaping the claws of the undead, they find themselves at a local Race track where they meet fellow survivors. And it is here that they begin to realize that, in order to stay one step ahead of the piercing claws of death, they need to band together in order to survive..

I was thinking of children and kittens today. My child is fifteen tomorrow and I am so proud of all he can do and of who he is, but like any parent, I mourn the little baby he was. I miss the sweet, faltering steps.  Kitten are the same. I love cats but always miss the kittens they shed away. It's a bittersweet part of life. We loved JEA Press when it was a baby, even as it frequently toddled into things, fell, got back up, and occasionally wailed. We nurtured and fed it well, and JEA grew. May presses fail so we are thankful that JEA has become a "teen-aged" press. Sadly , we also have to make changes and overcome challenges. Trevor Smith and I established JEA to catch some of the exceptional, wonderful books that other presses didn't have room for, and to give them great covers, edits, and make them available.I would never have done this without Trevor. T recently retired from the military and moved, not knowing his bandwidth plan would be almost zero; it's certainly not enough for him to do projects. After soul searching, it is best that Trevor step down as co-CEO. He will remain as an author, a mentor, and friend. I will assume all CEO duties and responsibilities. I am happy, but I do miss the old ways as well. It's actually a way of growing, even if we must adjust and let go of the "kitten version" we love. With no losses, we gain Trevor's ability to write more; we hate that technology, the reason JEA thrives, is also the reason T had to make a hard choice.
Meanwhile, try one of T's books!

A one month old baby found in a yacht floating off the coast of Catalina Island, alone and wrapped in burlap. Five other one month old infants found in just as strange circumstances. What do they have in common and what brings them together? Shane Rose and Jason Range – best friends since childhood and into college - form a unique investigation agency, with the help of ‘others’ who are like Shane. Their supernatural ‘talents’ are what pulls this group of seven young people together as a universal force in the ongoing battle of good vs. evil, and forms the agency of ‘Searchers, Inc.’ Working with the local police authorities and eventually the FBI, Shane and his Crew end up being pulled into a case of large proportions – helping to locate and break up an international ring of human traffickers specializing in children. This is further complicated when they find out that the latest children to be taken, twin girls, are gifted like them and can actually tip the balance of good and evil if they are not rescued as well. Soon it becomes a race against time to get to the children before they are swept out of reach and into an uncertain and ugly future.
