I didn't know it then, but while I sat in my room unable to sleep, Uncle Artie and my dad, along with the rest of their crew, were busy dragging a man up the driveway towards the house - a man who uttered nothing other than the word "horça".
In a world plagued with zombies and disease, rumors of a dark and terrible place known as "The Gallows" begins to surface.

Infection
It starts with a simple itch, nothing more. Maybe a few random spasms or the occasional shudder but you'll think nothing of it. Then you'll get blood shot eyes... Not enough sleep? It gets worse, much worse. The itching turns to scratching, clawing at you skin until it bleeds... and bleeds and bleeds. Then comes the anger which tips you over the top making you brake into a full blown seizure. Madness. You still with me? Well you won't be if they catch you, you'll be one of them...infected.Complete
Bloodhearts
When you're dead, you're dead, right? One dead guy used to think so. He doesn't know who he is or why he is at all, but he knows one thing; he'll do anything to 'survive' - and one day, he learns exactly how much that's going to take when he is captured by four living. "Bloodhearts" is a science fiction story, but not your average zombie tale. Interested? Then turn to the first page... A warning: This is a dystopian sci fi story - but it's also a story about two guys in a relationship. If that's not your kind of thing, you might want to find something else to read :)Complete
The Dead Walk Among Us
It's been ten years since the fall of humanity. I was only ten years old when the zombies took over. The military told us to flee underground, explaining that it was safer. The zombies are smart, too smart. They can learn to hide themselves. Some of them disguise themselves to look like normal people. We tell them apart by checking their eyes. Zombies have enlarged pupils compared to humans. No one knows why. 🏆 3rd place in The Flames Awards Sci-Fi category 🏆3rd place in The Slayer Book Awards 🏆3rd place in The Siren's Curse Awards @ScienceFiction added The Dead Walk Among Us to their Zombies reading list.Complete
The Boss Is Dead
All Sarah wanted was a cry in private after her wedding was called off. Instead, she finds her co-worker rising from the bathroom stall - with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. ~~~ Sarah had locked herself in the office bathroom, sobbing after her fiancé, Mark called off the wedding. Through her tears, she heard strange groans coming from the next stall. "Ugh, someone has food poisoning," she thought. But when the stall door swung open, the slouched figure that emerged was not sick-it was dead, with lifeless eyes and decaying flesh. Sarah opened her mouth to scream just as the infected co-worker lunged at her. She was trapped, as the entire office went into lockdown due to a zombie outbreak. There would be no easy escape from the horror that was breaking out in Manhattan.Complete
