Sumiko Saulson’s short story “A Confusion of the Gods” is in Blackened Roots: An Anthology Of The Undead, released June 23, 2023.

In the horror comedy “A Confusion of the Gods,” DeathCon, the Annual Convention of the Gods of Death taking place in Pittsburgh this year, had been interrupted by an unexpected uprising of the dead! Ravenous, ambling corpses have resurrected and are roaming the earth. Who authorized this? No one seems to know! These Gods need to find out. Someone has got to pay.
