The Heart of the Monster: Zombie Zero: The Short Stories, #6

By J.K. Norry

Would the real monster please step forward…

Frank's Purpose is very clear to him. He doesn't know whether his wife brings him more joy, or his son; and there's no need to decide. All is right with Frank's world…until everything changes for him.

Maria's Hero is always home from work on time. When he doesn't show, she knows that something is terribly wrong. Her only hope is to keep it together, and try to save what is left of her family.

Carla's Prayer gets interrupted by shocking news. She was asking for guidance, for the best way she could help; what she got was a zombie apocalypse. Now almost everyone needs help from someone.

The Heart of the Monster is the sixth volume in the Zombie Zero short story collection. It explores the lives of those that would live as monsters during the calamity documented in Zombie Zero: The First Zombie.
