A tale of the apocalypse or a tale of personal tragedy and psychological collapse. Possibly both. Originally published in Murky Depths magazine and the Best Tales of the Apocalypse anthology from Permuted Press.
By the author of Hyenas, of which Kirkus Reviews said, "Sellars evokes both classic literature and classic horror in this post-apocalyptic debut novel...genuinely frightening... exhilarating... and a stirring addition to the zombie canon." Available from Amazon.

God And Man Are Undead
Legions howl like the death of decades in an abandoned century. A woman who's time is fed flees from a traitorous, high-rise dwelling of cullers; survivors who she destroys for the murder of her family. What might've been follow in the steps of her past. Her sanity crunches like the disruption of bones from sockets. She escapes into the steps of her future, through a vermilion city of what might've been; the anthropophilic epistemology of eschatology. Disintegrating flip flops are all that prevent her bare feet from touching savage ground. Mal'akhs. A zoo. The highway. Fundamentalist campers hunted by a pack of hyenas. This is the story of time's fed. She runs from the aftermath to the epilogue, through the diluvian apocalypse of what might've been; through extinction and the final horrors within the Ark of a young earthen God. God and Man are undead.Complete

Oracles of Ice
Legends are legends, handed down through oral tradition. Some legends are true, some not so much. Putting the legend of the frozen mermaid to the test, Gaielle, a siren from Berth, ventures ashore to investigate the earthen realm despite the protest of her brother and dying father. Though tragedy separates kingdoms and Aethelfrith must come to terms with the death of his nephew at his own hands, he ascends a throne that is not his to serve the Warrick people. A rocky marriage, a curse the likes of which the kingdoms of Eldon have never seen, and a secret affair that leads to a forbidden pregnancy come crashing down around Aethelfrith and Gaielle. Things will never be the same for them upon delivery of The Oracles of Ice.Complete

Our story begins in a small coastal town nestled between mountains and the shimmering, endless ocean. There, a young woman by the name of Marina resides. Marina's tale doesn't start as a Legend, Myth, or Fairytale, but as a rumor.

Unfortunately for them, they seemed to have incurred the wrath of actual gods, nightmares, and monsters. And so, they have been forced to flee their 'heaven' for greener pastures, but before then, they'll have to pass through hell. Monsters, demons, nightmares and gods are only supposed to exist in the world of imagination, and that's exactly where they came from.
