    About this ebook

    I originally published the story online as a series of blog posts for verisimilitude. The blog and story both are mine.

    The Queen and her sister deal with the horrors in their lives differently, but their results are the same: red. Please understand that the 'Queen' seemed to have been a troubled young lady and some of these posts were very explicit.

    The Queen of Carrion
    Author

    Scott Crowder

    I live just outside Raleigh, North Carolina. I've only been professionally published once, in last fall's edition of Flashquake online magazine, but I hope it's the start of something long term. I'm happily married, and I'm the father to two beautiful little girls, ages five and two, who will never be allowed to date boys, drive cars that are transporting boys, nor ride in cars to places where boys are present, or wear non-Amish-spinster-approved clothing in front of boys. I love horror movies, rhythmic noise, peanut butter, and the Munsters, not necessarily in that order. Please feel free to contact me if you want; I'd love to hear what you thought of the book. My e-mail address is zombieapocalypse at earthlink.net. Thanks for reading.

Nothing there now but a terse note from someone telling visitors to go away and a gruesome photo punishing those who don't. The posts ran from October through mid-November last year. Please understand that the 'Queen' herself seemed to have been a troubled young lady and some of these posts were very explicit.
