An AUTUMN update and even more stories added to www.lastoftheliving.net
Two more brief stories have just been added to www.lastoftheliving.net. That brings the current total to 24 shorts, and there's still much more to come. More about that in a minute.
Today's first story concerns Robert Woolgrave – a young man who makes a few rash decisions in his fight to survive. Read his story first, because Robert also makes an uncredited appearance in today's second short, the fifth part of the tale of Amy Steadman. She's been dead for 17 days now, and as you can see from Craig Paton's excellent illustration, she's not looking too good! Robert's story, by the way, is illustrated by a beautiful photograph by Antony White. You'll see more of Antony's pictures in the coming weeks, and later in the year I'll be featuring interviews with all the artists involved with the project on this site.
I thought it would be good to give you a little more detail about what's planned for www.lastoftheliving.net and the AUTUMN series in general…
So far, much of the free fiction posted to the site has consisted of brief character sketches designed to introduce you to characters you'll meet in upcoming books. After the US release of PURIFICATION in August, however, this will change slightly.
Between August and November you'll hopefully (providing I get it finished in time!) be able to read BEGINNING TO DISINTEGRATE – a brand new, multi-part novella which will introduce the main characters from AUTUMN: DISINTEGRATION, and will explain how they get into the state they're in at the beginning of the book.
March 2012 should see the release of the final AUTUMN novel, AFTERMATH, which I'm currently writing. In the run up to the final book you'll see some more brief character introductions. Between now and the release of AFTERMATH you'll also get a number of standalone novellas, including THE GARDEN SHED (in which a retired accountant does all he can to defend his home from the oncoming zombie hordes), THE HUMAN CONDITION (a group of survivors trapped on the top floor of a high rise), SKIN (teenage angst at the end of the world), and UNDERGROUND (the final days of the bunker from AUTUMN: THE CITY and PURIFICATION). Some of you will inevitably have read these before, but I'll also have BREAKING POINT for you – a previously unpublished piece (ever wondered what happened to Michael and Emma between the first two books?).
So there we go. Don't say I never give you anything. There will be another novella appearing next week. It's my personal favourite – OFFICE POLITICS.
