The Gory Details (Gross) by Kate_Papilio

Between 2004 and 2008 I wrote a series of "Tips for Writers" for Nocturnal Ooze magazine vaguely about what would happen in real life if you did the things they do in movies but mostly about the gross out. I've always loved them and so have taken them out of mothballs for a new audience here on wattpad. They're all here except for #13 which seems to have vanished. I've also left them mostly intact except for a few very dated references that have been updated. I own the rights to the articles and Queen Mum of the Ooze, Kay Patterson has allowed me to keep the name "Gore Monger" (which she owns) provided I write: The Gore Monger appears courtesy of Nocturnal Ooze. If you enjoy these articles, please consider supporting me on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/NogginBrain?fan_landing=true

Never Die Alone by MeganCBEvans

Finding themselves stranded in a zombie apocalypse, the eight friends realize they have very little chance of survival. They rush to quickly get out of town and to what they think might be safety. But little do they know that no where is safe. It seems like things only get worse at every turn. Everyone is physically and mentally exhausted and it's all they can do not to give up. Will they survive against the odds? Or will they join the apocalypse?

Dark Stranger by anelecarey

How do you keep from becoming bored after centuries of life? Simple, find things that make you feel alive. Things that stimulate the senses, danger, sex, love? In my case it was becoming a P.I., investigating the weird and strange crimes that go on at night in my City. The various skills I've picked up over the years give me a bit of an advantage. Finding someone to help during the daytime is essential, especially when your current lover is about to run out of time. And someone you thought long dead and buried is returning to cause trouble. This time round, people call me Zass. My real name??? Mitch Grassi, but I haven't used it for decades. It's getting tougher to keep what I am hidden. Modern people have certain ideas about Vampires that can be a real pain in my ass. But I still have one or two surprises up my sleeve. Care to join me and find out?

F*** Cancer, This One Did Us All In. by IgnotusCapillary

There's not a lot that can freak me out in this world. Only large animals with sharp claws, too many people touching me, bullies, hives, horror movies, sitting underneath fans or lights or anything that dangles from a ceiling, glass or wooden bridges, my mother, mosquitoes, public situations, taking a shower with nobody in the house, taking a shower with too many people in the house and crocks. Oh, and zombies. Zombies is definitely on that list. It's almost a shame too, that I have to race through a city packed full of them to find my missing family. Packed full of zombies, by the way, not crocks. (Although I don't know which situation is worse.) Now I have to not only keep my feeble body alive, but also protect (or be protected by) my two best friends in the entire world as we all try to survive in a city packed with the Dead.
