Description

Hey! This is the first 10% of my psychological Christmas-themed zombie survival novelette RED CHRISTMAS. It's only about 9.9k words. If you enjoy the sample, the full story is available on Amazon as eBook and through Kindle Unlimited.

To honor his late mother, Preston continues their tradition of decorating a tree on Christmas Eve, a once-simple task that could now cost him his life.

In this story of grief and denial, Preston races against the clock through a pitch-black mall riddled with undead in hopes of collecting the final decoration needed to finish his tribute—a star.

But what lurks in the dark aren't the only monsters Preston needs to face in order to survive.

    I normally do not review stubs without a clearer understanding of the piece at large, but this one is not marked as such and it has enough issues to comment on. The style of the piece on the surface looks very good, but it has a fair amount of awkward constructions and sentences - this is not the real issue though, it is the awkward and sudden cuts that do not make sense. Upon realizing they are missing the star for the tree, we jump to carolers and a mall cop suddenly. No transition. The whole story reads like chunks have been taken out and context and setting is unclear and that is all in this short chapter.
