I'm 41.877777773% finished with the sequel.
I humbly vow to bestow my readers with more violence, hatred, evil, and bad things.
I am pumping more personality into the mutants, giving them a voice and life.
Jonathan is doing a pretty good job not drinking either.
Moguai is more vampirish than ever and displays skills and abilities that were previously not witnessed by my dear readers. Moguai also Read more of this blog post »

Josh’s Recent Updates

Josh Douglas shared a quote “There’s a strange smell in the air. It’s one of decay, but not of death. The city is beginning to rot as walls remain unpainted, and brick begins to crack, as trees and bushes take root in walls, and storm drains block and overflow. It is the necrotic odour of our civilisation’s end.” Frank Tayell

Josh Douglas liked an answer from James Kaine: Some people say authors should put trigger warnings on the cover of their books! As a proudly bitter Gen Xr, I find this ridiculous. How do you feel about this? Hi Josh! Just saw this now so sorry for the late reply! Also Gen X here and I'm not big on trigger warnings unless we do them in a tongue-in-cheek way like Timothy King and I did on Rideshare. But to each their own. I personally won't be adding them o See James’s answer. James Kaine

Josh Douglas is on page 80 of 196 of London: Well written zombie apocalypse without the usual overdone heroism and valor. So far a fairly normal dude with a broken leg stuck in a house alone with a dwindling food supply while the world collapses outside. Best Zombie book I've read since Mountain Man.

Josh Douglas shared a quote “They’re still continuing their slow exodus. No, not an exodus. The evacuation was an exodus. Nor is this a migration. I need to stop describing Them in human terms, it’s the sort of anthropomorphising that will lead me to think They’re still alive. A flood, then? Or a torrent? A river flowing ever onward, never to join the sea?” Frank Tayell
