  2. Everyone, take note: This is how you rock the Zombie Hunter look.  Bunny is wearing the “Human” shirt from Shelter in Place. I only had a few of these made, and I gave them out to the people who played the game at GenCon and who helped with the Zombie Photoshoot I had this summer. Bunny did most of the makeup for that shoot, and, thus, she has this shirt. And like all of her outfits - she is WORKING IT. Model: Bunny Greene Photo by JM Photography

  7. The Zombies Are Coming

    The zombies want brains, the zombies want skin, the zombies want guts and blood. The zombies want human flesh. The zombies want us with the passion of lovers, with the passion of living. The zombies want life. In our sweet flesh the zombies bury their faces, seeking the spark we keep within us, taking us into their many arms, their lips and faces, their searching, rending fingers, the lust for food, for flesh, for life, to live to breathe, to rot, to stink, to stumble forward.

    The zombies are coming, and we hide in our houses, the zombies have come, and we are on a boat, a plane, behind a wall. The zombies are coming and we are holed up in a mall, in a warehouse, in a church. The zombies are knocking on stained glass, revolving doors; the zombies are coming to the bar where we boarded up the windows and the doors, living on beer behind a barricade. The zombies are coming to the farm and all we have are pitchforks. The zombies want to live in our houses, the zombies are rocking the car, the zombies are outside the tank, the zombies are coming, unstoppable.

    -From Love Letter, my contribution to the Gimme Shelter anthology of zombie fiction.

  9. It’s the final 48 hours of the Shelter in Place Kickstarter, and  I’d like to share what I’ve been working on with my cohorts as a gift to everyone who contributed and pushed us over our first and second goal. It’s called Gimme Shelter and it’s an anthology of fiction from the zombie Apocalypse. I’ve been reading the stories as they come in, and they are exciting, funny, and extraordinarily moving. Putting together this anthology, I expected to have humor and horror and adventure, but I’m not sure that I expected heart-wrenching – although with writers like these, I should have known better. Click the link for excerpts from some of the stories that will be in the anthology: LINK

  13. The Shelter in Place Kickstarter is now live! Shelter in Place is a party game that puts you in the middle of the zombie Apocalypse. You play a Human or a Zombie struggling to survive. The Kickstarter has a lot of rewards including the book, special new characters, t-shirts, posters - we kind of went a little crazy with the rewards. Visit the Kickstarter Page here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1034531507/shelter-in-place-a-live-game-of-zombie-horror

    Audio for the Opening of Shelter in Place. This can be found in the beginning of the book, in text form, but I thought it might be fun to offer actual audio for people to play during games. This is what the Director plays for the Human players at the opening of Act I.

    Recorded by the brilliant radio man, Bradley George

    Zombies added by me. As usual.

    Thank you Bradley, for making my words sound like they came from a real radio broadcast.

  15. J.R. Blackwell runs from the shambling undead. She does this for the pictures, thinking that if she does, you might support her game, Shelter in Place, when she launches the Kickstarter in September. This is kind of silly, as it’s not very important to you if she’s eaten by Zombies or not, so you are not going to have any sympathy if she suffers from some kind of Zombie bite. Oh, J.R., when will you learn!
