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.

Christopher St. John Sampayo is originally from Louisiana and currently lives in San Antonio, Texas. In 2005 his first play "Passing Through Sam's" was performed by the Renaissance Guild of San Antonio. Since then his plays "Last Son of the South," "Paper Heroes," and "The Artistic Merits of Crayons," have all been performed for the stage as well as many others. "Children of Rosehaven" is his first novel.

Essel Pratt is from Mishawka, Indiana, a North Central town near the Michigan Border. His prolific writings have graced the pages of multiple anthologies, a couple self-published works, as well as his own creations.

As a husband, a father, and a pet owner, Essel's responsibilities never end. Other than a family man, he works a full time job an hour from his home, he is a writer for the Inquisitr, a full time student on his journey to a degree - while maintaining a 4.0 GPA, and is also the Chief of Acquisitions and Executive Assistant for J. Ellington Ashton Press. His means of relieving stress and relaxing equate to sitting in front of his dual screens and writing the tales within the recesses of his mind.

Inspired by C.S. Lewis, Clive Barker, Stephen King, Harper Lee, William Golding, and many more, Essel doesn't restrain his writings to straight horror. His first Novel, Final Reverie is more Fantasy/Adventure, but does include elements of Horror. His first zombie book, The ABC's of Zombie Friendship, attacks the zombie genre from an alternate perspective. Future books, that are in progress and yet to be imagined, will explore the blurred boundaries of horror within its competing genres, mixing the elements into a literary stew.

When a small group of outcasts from the suburbs of Washington, DC witness the zombie apocalypse happening before their eyes, what will they do to survive and will they succeed? 

A small cabin in the mountains of Virginia, once a refuge from the hectic rush of city life, may now be the only refuge for life for these self-labelled DC Freaks. 

Not your mama's Cabin in the Woods.

WHO is FISH?
Michael Fisher.

He's a family man, a tattoo artist, an editor for JEA, artist, and a damned fine writer. Right now, he is breaking out all over with stories in many upcoming anthologies. D C's Dead is the long awaited, hard core, take-no-prisoners story of a zombie apocalypse. As Fish says, "The freaks come out at night."

When Stacey meets her new boss she knows she has to have him, no matter what the cost. Stacey's not the kind of girl to take no for an answer, and what she wants she almost always gets. Things start to turn sour, however, once she's had her wicked way with him, as Stacey begins to get a glimpse of the man behind the mask. When an opportunity arises for Stacey to get one over on her boss, Stacey embraces it in both hands, broadening her horizons in the process. One way or another, Stacey is determined to seek out satisfaction.

A fallen angel, beautiful and horrendous, explores his earthly desires and knows no bounds. A special offering to him finds his wings fascinating and his methods less than cruel as she seduces him and is seduced. When she breaks through his rough exterior, lust and love follow in an erotic storm. Part of the LORE collection, Christopher Goose explores seduction and the power of sexual attraction in this rated X romp with a monster. Over 18 only.

What to read? Maybe a new catt dahman book...it's a weird western...Doc Holliday and the boys fight blood suckers when they aren't involved in gun fights. Try Wild Boys.  Maybe you want a top seller like Mark Woods' Fish story. Missing zombies? Get After and entertain yourself until the return of THE WALKING DEAD. Oh a chill is what you like? Try Amanda's book and you will feel haunted.

How about some Fantasies? These have great reviews and  will thrill!

6 Authors. 6 Characters. 6 Endings. Get the ending that YOU want! It's a sexy, scary, unusual book.
"This review is from: Feral Hearts (Kindle Edition) Scary and bloody and with some crazy vampire erotica through out.... this is a pretty cool story and I love how each author contributes an initial character sketch and background. Fabulous. The endings were awesome, too. I enjoyed each one. I am hard pressed to pick my favorite. Another winner by Mr. Cardillo and the other writers! Great job!"

This book is fun for many reasons. It is horror. And Edward Cardillo edited it, so there is a great, smart story here, but that's when it all gets crazy. Ed gave us this situation and had us develop characters. Not too bad. He wove them together in the middle and then taxed us with writing endings that included all the characters. Big challenge. I was impressed with my fellow authors and how each went a totally different way than I went, as far as ending the same story we were all a part of! It is a real testament to the talent of these writers that they came up with such diverse stories. (catt)

     JEA began long ago, but we started releasing books a little over a year ago. I may view the press business all wrong, but I see it this way: you can doll yourself up for the prom, snap a picture, and look amazing, and that is wonderful. You can also get your hair done at a salon, get a fancy outfit, and have professional photos made. Which will look better? The second choice. Does that make you have more fun at the prom? No.  It's the way I see presses. Some of the (big 5) really do amazing things but you are never promised a lot of money and a career. It's a gamble that few are able to accept.
     JEA isn't huge and we can't promise a big career either but instead of letting our writers go out half-dressed, we do provide edits, fantastic covers, advice, PR, sales avenues, and more. We;ll make you look good for the prom. We will give each person support and the ability to have a voice in what happens to their manuscript. I think we are the the happy medium between a big press deal and going out there alone.

Writer don't get rich (automatically), but I have always wondered at those who chase the Big 5 endlessly, and who refuse to go with a small press. Jim Goforth and Mark Woods are two of our authors who are beginning to sell well. Neither have been able to buy a fancy mansion yet, but guess what?  These writers know people are enjoying something that they have written, they do get paychecks, and they are "branding" their names. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I can't understand going for the "big win" without having first worked the trenches and learned the entire craft. I respect those who disagree. I am just pleased that people buy, read our authors, and enjoy some great stories. Isn't that what writing is really about? If our goal is to all land the Big 5 deals and be rich, then I think 99.99% are going to be waiting a very long time. Meanwhile, we think we have some books that are as good or better than what the biggest presses are releasing.

PLEBS (Jim Goforth)



Corey Somerset, Tim Hayworth and Lee Hunter have had one hell of a good night.
And it isn't over yet.
Celebrating their friend's birthday with drunken debauchery and intoxicated antics they've just stumbled through a mini-wave of mindless vandalism and though they've wandered far out of the realms of civilization they are keen to keep the party vibe going.
When they encounter a band of mysterious fugitive women who call a bizarre encampment deep in the woods their residence it appears a strong likelihood that continuing the party is on the cards.
But it won't come without a price.
The collective of unnerving lawless women are open to the suggestion but not without the threesome completing a request first, a seemingly straight forward barter proposition that will bring the boys face to face with something else that dwells in an unorthodox co-existence with the girls in the wilderness.
These are the Plebs and the shocking violent encounter the trio are unwittingly pitched into with these freakish feral fiends may be their first but it won't be the last.
As the shiftless young men become inextricably entwined and involved with the agenda driven dangerous women so too do their fates, with them unravelling killer secrets, duplicity, bloodshed and brutality along the way that encompasses not just them but more of their friends, new enemies and old enemies.
A simple night of bad decisions escalates and snowballs into an expedition of terror spanning all the way home and beyond with Corey and his friends engulfed in a nightmare where the lines between man and monster blur.
Depravity, death and destruction reign supreme and it isn't just the Plebs that want them all torn limb from limb.

Connor Woods is tired of being pushed around, and dragging his space cadet of a younger brother around with him. When he and his brother, Sean, meet their Grandpa Lingus for the first time, the introduction is awkward to say the least.  During the compulsory visits, Grandpa Lingus launches into a series of terrifying tall tales. After some initial resistance, Connor becomes immersed in the horrifying cautionary tales set in the bogs of Ireland, the Black Forest of World War II Germany, the pre-Katrina New Orleans voodoo scene, and the suburbs of New York. 
“Beautifully written,” Pulitzer Prize Nominee and Emmy Award Winner, John Ford Noonan

What genre(s) do you write in and why? 
I write horror, drama, supernatural thrillers, fantasy/action and suspense.  That’s what generally flies through my at any given time.  
What is Number 6 about, both on the surface and down deep? What inspired this? 
This story was actually based upon a real murder which occurred in California in the 1970’s. It was unsettling to me on an emotional level, as well as giving me the concept of the spirit of a victim exacting revenge.

The battles are put on hold when all are thrown into an uneasy alliance caused by an outside, invading evil. Although they all share the same religion, all four races have different interpretations, hence their past conflicts. Now they have been told, by the source of their religion, to have the sons and daughters of their leaders go on a quest

Do you write for yourself or for readers?
Well I write for myself mostly.  At the end of the day I don’t even really know how much sense I’m making.  But when readers respond favorably it’s extremely rewarding.
