The Tell Tale Zombie

By Edmund de Wight

The zombies were dead - really dead this time.
It is one year since the last zombie was reported to be destroyed and the world is slowly recovering.
Demi is a survivor who harbors a dark secret. She lost her husband to the undead and will do anything to protect her young daughter.
Neighbors and friends pry into her life, trying to learn her secret. To protect her secret and her daughter she will do the unthinkable.

Returning home to someone in her house turns out to be more dangerous than any zombie horde.

The Tell-Tale Zombie is a short story of survival in the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse. This isn't your normal zombie story with rugged survivors battling hordes of undead in the streets. This story examines the human toll in a world where the line between life and death has become blurred.

Here's what some early readers are saying:

It's like Edgar Allen Poe but with a zombie. - James W.

A protagonist I could relate to. - Ed J.

Interesting to see what happens after all the zombies are gone. Sarah K.
