- The Zombieful World of OZ #1
Eric Hawkins joined us this week to talk about “The Zombieful World of OZ”. This version of the classic tale is a Victorian-Steampunk-Fantasy-Horror-Zombie Adventure Story. You will return to a familiar landscape, with legendary characters you were never able to forget.
You will find new, updated versions of the characters we all love and know. Eric tells us how he came up with the look of the characters during our episode. He also tells us what to expect in the series, and where he is pulling his ideas from. I don’t doubt we will all learn more about the world of Oz as the series continues.
If you like what you hear, then you should head over and help back “The Zombieful World of OZ”. Any fan of the Wizard of Oz would love to have this in their collection. Click here to see learn more about this project.
"It’s been ten years after Dorothy’s fantastic adventure. She is now 24 and ready for release from a mental hospital. The years following the cyclone, people could not comprehend her tales of adventures and wonder in the Land of Oz, and thought her crazy. Years of therapy and rehabilitation followed. Now she is being released and her will and new resolve are going to be tested like never before."

- The Death ChuteWe talked with Ambrose Stolliker about his upcoming short story “The Death Chute”. We talked about his inspirations for writing the story, and how he came up with the chilling setting."When his mother, Sophia, is diagnosed with dementia, 44-year-old reality television producer Jake Porter leaves Hollywood and returns to his native Vermont. Jake sends his mother to a posh new retirement community in the Green Mountains. It soon becomes clear the rest home houses dark secrets and is haunted by something terrible and strange.But when he learns that the retirement community was once a tuberculosis sanatorium, Jake is uneasy at the prospect of leaving Sophia on her own. Only the assurances of the community’s chief medical officer, Christine Barrett, convince Jake that his mother will be in good hands. Not long after she’s moved in, however, Sophia has the first of many frightening experiences when she encounters the apparition of a little boy suffering from TB. At first, Jake dismisses her story as a symptom of her dementia, but as time goes on, it becomes clear the rest home houses dark secrets and is haunted by something terrible and strange."This is the second time we talk with Ambrose. We had previously talked to him about his Civil War horror story, Old Hollow. The Nerds loved that story so much.
