Snareville
"We have a saying. "You're either dead and chompin' or alive and hidin'." In Snareville, neither is an option. Lemme tell you big city folks a story...
You think you knew all about us small-town folk, didn't you? Laughed at us bushwhackers, your poor country cousins out in the sticks.
That all changed when Z-Day came. That was when we realised that growing up in a small town gave us an advantage you folks didn't have. Small towns are easier to defend - from the zombies, if not the other enemies...
Of course, our survival has a price. Hell, what doesn't? The story I'm gonna tell you will shock you, may even terrify you. Yep, I've got two wives, I got more guns under my command than you can ever dream about. We got a whole new system of justice and morality that may jar with some of you liberal types - just ask the rapist who we sent packing...
But lemme tell you...in a world where folk we thought of as human can pimp out zombies as hookers, you know morality has taken a back seat.
This is my story. The story of a small town and how we prevailed. Against the zombies and a far worse enemy. The story of me and my Raiders: Pepper, Catfish, Tony, Jinks, Star...and Jen.
Read it. And then you'll know why they call me Captain Death. Welcome to Snareville."
Snareville II - Circles
Survival was just the start…we’ve got a way to kill off every zed in the world. We just got to find a way to get it out there.
Now I know why commanders all look like old men. Surviving ain’t easy; staying human is even harder.
Some gave up. We came across a female gang called the Cock Blockers and their “choke point” still gives me nightmares. We fought a biker gang that call themselves the Mongol Hordes and make ol’ Genghis look like a pussycat. And we met a group of Amish who have extreme ideas on damage control.
We got a new problem now. Ella said to me, “When the world died, we all became family.” Guess that applies to the zombies as well.
Because Cindy’s been having strange dreams ‘bout a guy who calls himself King Death. Guess it’s a psychic connection, because we got reports of this guy heading out east, with his Queen and a nightmare in her womb. Yep, the unborn undead are coming to Snareville.
The fight’s coming to us. Coming home, to Snareville.
“D. M. Youngquist’s SNAREVILLE sinks its teeth into the reader’s jugular—a horrific, mordant, lean, page-turning ride dissecting the denizens of a backwater burg besieged by a zombie plague. The best part—aside from the gruesome action—is that you come away caring about these people in unexpected ways. Bite off a chunk of SNAREVILLE today—you won’t be disappointed.”
