Weirdbook Zombies - Released with "Queen of Hearts" by SE Lindberg
Proud to have contributed the caboose story in this one with my story "Queen of Hearts" that pits Man vs. Nature.
"Queen of Hearts" is Horror-Noir, a humorous, bloody take on a New Orleans steeped in coffee, rather than alcohol; when criminals weaponize coffee beans, Nature wins. "Queen of Hearts" illustrates that Man can only try to manage other naive Men; Nature is not ours to control.
The story was inspired years ago when I visited New Orleans and met fellow Perseid Press/Heroika authors Charles Gramlich and Beth Paxton.
