Deadlocked: Broken Pieces
This is a series of five short stories that pertain to the original Deadlocked novella. It also contains one story from the Vampire's Prey series and one unique story called The Body Farm.
Deadlocked : Broken Pieces Vol 1 contains the following short stories.
Dial Tone: This story picks up from the beginning of the outbreak and tells Laura's story. In this short story, you'll learn about what she and the girls went through that forced them onto the roof of their house, waiting for David to come home.
Just a Secretary: This story is about Gloria and Jerry from David's office building. They try to escape the building, but get caught by a character that plays a big part in Deadlocked 3.
The Getaway: When David leapt from the billboard into the Everland River, he emerged only to be smacked on the head by a boat that was being chased by the police in the pontoon. This story explains who that was, and why he was running.
Batting Average: William and his son, Billy, have been protecting their salvage yard ever since the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse. Moments before they discover David on their beach, William sits back and enjoys a soda with his son who he is afraid he'll lose soon.
Love Letter: A note that Laura wrote to David after the events at the end of Deadlocked. This letter technically should be part of Deadlocked Broken Pieces Volume 2, but I thought it fit better here.
Also included in Broken Pieces are a couple of short stories that are not from the Deadlocked Universe. The first, The Summoner and the Prey, is from the Vampire's Prey series and is a unique story to this book. Also in this volume is The Body Farm. This is a wholly original story about… well, you'll just have to wait and see! Let me just say that it has a couple of my own personal favorite horror scenes that I've ever written.

The stories involving the deadlocked world were pretty good for clearing up some questions surrounding the first book, but the jewel is The Body Farm, a 2-part story that has the first part here, and the second part in Deadlocked: Broken Pieces Vol. 2. I know, it's a shameless marketing ploy to ensure that you buy Vol. 2, but I don't care. Man, that is a gruesome story, and I can't wait to read the second part!

I mistakenly started this series with the book only to find out that it would make a whole lot more sense if I started the series from the start! Stories were good, but it quickly became confusing without knowing what had happened previously in the original novellas.

A nice little nibble to tide me over after I finished 1-7. Caught myself losing a little bit of interest on a story here and there (maybe bc I love the deadlocked characters so damn much) but a good read. Broken Pieces 2 is better, so don't forget to grab that.
