Check it out and let me know what you think. I'd really love to get involved with Fleshrot!

Yeah I guess it is kinda gross if you have a twisted mind!

Great stuff Rick! You have a unique style and would fit Fleshrot well. Was this a previously published work? Is there more to it? Is there text that goes to it? Questions we can talk about in email.

I'd love for you to do a story. Email me and let's talk about what's involved and such.

Look forward to speaking with you!

That story is part of a "to be published" anthology, that's just kind of collecting dust while the guy gets the rest of it going. It's going to be sort of an homage to the old EC comics, with the little weird KRYPTKEEPER type narriators at the beginning and end you know? Anyway, in this story, the "twist" is that the guy you think is the hero turns out to be a cerial killer in the end, axe-ing the hot chick after she saves him from his huge zombie father, his first victim. As he kills the zombies throughout the story he keeps yelling out #s, and you find out at the end that the zombies were his numbered victims, coming back to haunt him.
:evilbat:

I thought it was pretty twisted and fun.

Anyway, I'll send you an email, John, and I look forward to rasin' the dead with you.
:chug:

Rock on!

Cool idea! Fleshrot has been getting compared to EC alot in reviews. George Romero wrote the foreword and said it reminded him of the days he used to be a kid hiding under the covers with a flashlight to read "Tales". Certainly good thing to be compared to when doing a horror book. Our host is 'Misty Graves'. She tells stories of zombie mayhem from her book called Fleshrot.

Looking forward to talking with you.
