You’ve enjoyed a few of his stories and you follow each other on Twitter, so when you see that horror and weird fiction author Gordon B. White has started a Patreon, you think, “Sure, I’ll throw him a couple of bucks.” You pick the $7 tier---Postcards of Lesser Known Haunted Houses---thinking it might be a lark to get a picture and a microfiction each month for your modest contribution. | Copyright 2021 by Gordon B.

The Saints saw nothing but rock and scrub, the one lone Joshua tree dead, its arms defeated. They traveled by wagon, the four still alive, their clothes stiff with their own stink and with the smell of dirt. The dead they buried or thought they buried along the way. The animals gone, all but one, and that one fading. They tied casks to the wagon, dragged the wagon themselves, the wagon lighter now because mostly empty. | Copyright 2022 by Juan Martinez.

I take the hammer in my right hand and raise it up over my head to bring down, screaming, against the left hand I have placed flat on the tabletop. My knuckles do not break. My skin does not tear. I do not scream in agony. Instead, my left hand flattens like soft rubber, the imprint of the hammer’s head clearly visible in what is supposed to be human flesh. The sight is worse than any pain could possibly be. | Copyright 2022 Adam-Troy Castro. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new home! I’m sorry to inform you I was not very upfront with the terms of sale and would feel guilty if I didn’t leave at least this letter in forewarning. You might have wondered why it was listed so cheaply or why, beyond a lawyer’s details, there wasn’t a name on the seller’s side of the contract. You might have dismissed these anomalies because the patio is so nice (the jasmine over the pergola smells lovely in spring). | Copyright 2022 by Kiera Lesley. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.

She remembered the scent of rain and bamboo. The squish of her shoes in the soft loam as she followed her father through the forest. He with his axe over one shoulder, and she carrying a lunch her mother had packed for them. She had always thought him a giant of a man, so powerful and strong. But she remembered following along behind him and noticing the delicate curve of his back. | Copyright 2022 by Kiyomi Appleton Gaines. Narrated by Taylor Meskimen.

Clara drinks from water bottles so she doesn’t have to hear the tap running. She puts all the dirty dishes in the dishwasher and leaves the building until it’s done running, just so she doesn’t have to hear it. She does everything she can to avoid the sound. Showers, though---those are trickier. She can’t avoid washing herself forever. So she starts the tap, plugs the bathtub, and waits several rooms away until it’s full enough that she can shut off the tap. | Copyright 2022 by Shaoni C. White. Narrated by Roxanne Hernandez.

The cook didn’t like that the eyes of the dead fish shifted to stare at him as he cut their heads off. The cook’s assistant, who was also his lover, didn’t like that he woke to find just a sack of bloody bones on the bed beside him. “It’s starting again,” he gasped, just moments before a huge, black, birdlike creature carried him off, screaming.

Some things you can’t figure out. Not even with a whole heap of scratch paper and a ribbon of data from a chattering teletype machine. Not before time runs out. And time is like progress—she’s not stopping for anybody. The answer is out there, though, in the weather. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.

In the series finale, Wyatt struggles with hard choices, Hawkins makes the ultimate sacrifice and MJ makes an awkward revelation, altering the future of the Atlanta Survivors, forever. Thanks to all the folks that waited five years for the entire series to drop! And for those of you that enjoyed it, hang in a little longer for the reboot, where we'll follow the real Vance Walker and his partner in crime, Josie James, as they escape the Fall in New Hollywood. The reboot will have not only the Deaders you've come to know and love, but also robots, tanks and a quirky group of D&D gamers called Initiative Check. Best of all? The entire series will release in less than a year. Bet. Another huge and equally important thank you to all of the talents that made this series possible. A hearty and heartfelt bow of gratitude to Jacob Murphree, the voice of Vance Walker/Wyatt Benson, who was the singular point of consistency on this project. You are equally a rare talent and utterly hilarious, and we're humbled and honored that you got your start with us....five years ago. Also, Jules can't wait to start editing your tracks again, if only for the bloopers. Another huge thank you to Aimee Henderson (Mary Jane Simmons), Sim Meavorn (John Hawkins, Pike) and Noëlle McHenry (Maxine Anders). There are not enough words in the English language to properly describe your talent and dedication. You guys are beyond phenomenal. A special thanks to Austin Blake (Daisy) and Hunter Blake (Billy), who stepped in at zero hour to stretch their acting chops. You saved our butts, kiddos, and proved once again that anything and everything you touch turns to gold. So much love for you both! Also thank you to our musical talent for bringing some soul to our modest little zombie western. Songs are listed in the order in which they appear in Episode 6: Chicken Got No Head, River Foxcroft West of the Soul, River Foxcroft Dark Outlands, River Foxcroft Dust Bowl, Walt Adams Dark Tavern, Walt Adams The Bayou, Tigerblood Jewel Deadman's Rag, Matt Sowell And last but not least, the song that has become the Dead Earth anthem, Darkness by Gristle Boy.
