About this ebook
Keveny is dead. But even at the onset of the zombie uprising that's difficult. Straddling between the realm of the living and the dead, he's tethered to his reanimated corpse as it eats its way across the countryside. Somewhere out there his girlfriend may not be safe, but is there still enough time to save her?

Okay, my last biography was loooooong and boring. I didn't realize how dull it was until I actually tried to go back and read it. Blah-blah-blah. Anyway. I'm Gerald Dean Rice. Used to be Gerald Rice--I suppose I still am, but all future works shall include my middle name. It's a rebranding thing. I've always been into horror. When I was in kindergarten my mother took me right from school to see Creepshow. I saw a ton of stuff I shouldn't have when I was a kid. I got a book of ghost stories when I was 11 for Christmas. These were the days before YA novels, unless you picked up one of those namby-pamby VC Andrews books. Okay, scratch that; I've never actually read a VC Andrews book. But the more I read and the older I got the more I wanted to write my own stories. I tried my hand at writing comic book stories with my best friend in high school, but we had no clue how to break into comics. I submitted my first story to Cemetery Dance back in 2000. It took somewhere around 7 months for the to respond. I was so proud even though they'd rejected me. The truth of it was it wasn't a very original story and it was very straightforward. There was a whole lot I didn't know about writing back then. But I learned pretty quick and have since had stories published in print and on-line. My first novel, "The Ghost Toucher", was published in 2010. It was born out of several failed novel-writing attempts and I'm immensely proud of what I created. I've since put out a couple short collections of my own and a few zombie shorts. My newest project, "Fleshbags" was just published. I kind of had a "In Treatment" thing in my head like when Paul's patients have some aspect of them reflected in his personal life. I blended my characters that way (tough to explain what I mean). But it's definitely something different than you've ever read and I'd suggest giving it a try.

I, Keveny
I didn’t know how long I’d been walking. There air was thick and white with fog. I couldn’t see more than three feet in front of me from the cloudy stuff swirling around. And everything was so quiet.
The mist parted just ahead, making a sort of mock path. I followed until a porch came into view. Standing there a moment and looking, I eventually could make out the front of the house the porch was connected to.
It was old. Familiar-looking, but I’d never been here. Two girls were sitting on the steps. They looked alike. Well, not alike, but similar. They had different eyes, different noses and different mouths, but something about them was the same. Couldn’t put my finger on what it was.
Is Daniel here?
I asked, stopping on the steps. One of the girls giggled. Why was Daniel in my head? We weren’t close friends or anything, in fact, we weren’t friends at all. Well? Is he?
The other one giggled. She pointed to the open front door. Was that open before? They both giggled again.
I continued past them across the porch and into the house. Over my shoulder was nothing but white, as if everything outside had been erased.
Keveny, my man!
Daniel smiled at me from across the room. He was as big as ever and took a few long strides and then was wrapping his long arms around me, hefting me around and swinging my legs like a rag doll. Daniel set me down and pulled back, that big grin on his face even bigger.
Everything on the man was big. I winced between the paws squeezing my shoulders. So glad you made it here. How’ve you been?
Okay.
I was a little thrown. As long as we’d known each other, Daniel had been cold, emotionless. This was a stranger. What’s going on with you?
I’m dead, man. I’m dead.
Daniel released me and the smile fell from his face. "Can’t say I didn’t deserve it, but I can’t believe I’m here."
What do you mean ‘dead’? And where’s here?
My man Keveny.
The big black man chuckled. Always crackin’ jokes.
He pointed to himself and me alternately. "We’re dead, man. Don’t you remember?"
No. I’m not dead. What are you talking about?
"Okay. I’m shot, right? And I know I’m done for. Bleedin’ like a dog,
