Tammy K. (rambles_of_a_reader) Fellow group members and group authors

I am setting up this thread looking specifically for zombie Short Stories (fifty pages or less).
I have taken up the February Reading Challenge - 28 Short Stories in 28 days.

So far I have 8 short stories which I am considering for the challenge but I could use 20 + more suggestions.

I prefer books that I already own, but since you can't possibly know which those are, feel free to add your best recommendations.
Episodic series are fine.

Please do NOT offer up titles with Rape, children being hurt or extremely graphic content.

***If other group members who are going to do the 28 in 28 challenge wish to request suggestions as well, please feel free to make a post in this thread with your preferences.

1/18 14 update
I have resigned from the Zombies group effective today.
I put in too much time in this group to have my efforts disrespected

Netanella | 2108 comments Tammy - they're zombie stories! How can they NOT have graphic content? ;)

At least a disclaimer, then, eh?

Please note the word "Extremely"

By that I mean seriously grotesque.

There is gore and there is "make me want to barf" gore.

There is violence and there is "shock the core of ones sensibilities".

Does that make sense or should I include an example of each?

Lexxi Kitty (lexxikitty) RIZEN: Tales of the Zombie Apocalypse is a collection of zombie short stories. Not sure all have enough zombie in to count (one story involved warring survivors. Don't recall if zombies in that one.)

If get, I'd suggest reading the stories in reverse order. For some reason the author put them in reverse chronological order.

Teresa (teresatheterrible) Thanks so muc Netanella! I have a few of these, but I just had it in my head that they had to be 50 pgs. I don't know WHERE I got that idea! This'll be much easier now! ;-)

Randy Harmelink | 2188 comments Just finished this little gem, if anyone is looking for another short story:

Beneath (Short Story)


message 14: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresatheterrible) Check this out: Zombie Fairy Tales: The Complete Collection!!! All the stories are pretty lengthy. I know both of the books I've thrown in the ring are anthologies, so they don't bolster your reading challenge numbers or anything (and NO!!! I'm not insinuating anyone here is doing that, its just that each story isn't listed individually...well, they ARE, and maybe I'll review them individually, but they are 12 stories for .99 cents each, or a collection for $2.99- you do the math lol), but they still got some really good stuff in them! I am soooo in love with the re-telling of fairy tales AND I love zombies, so this is PERFECT!!!
