Occupied

by Saul W. Tanpepper

After a tragic accident leaves supermoto champion Stack Miller unable to race, his psychiatrist recommends an unorthodox treatment, which he flatly refuses, calling it quackery. His agent instead puts him on a plane to Bermuda for a little head-clearing R&R. But even in Bermuda, Stack is tormented by strange, often terrifyingly erotic nightmares. Unable to escape from his memories of the crash, he tries to return Stateside, but strangeness takes a morbid turn for the worse when the unthinkable happens: a passenger dies of a mysterious ailment, only to rise again and terrorize the cabin. As the infection spreads, Stack retreats to the only place he feels safe.

Cowering inside the cramped lavatory while the flight crew, including the pilot, succumb to the claws and teeth of the Undead, Stack eventually realizes that he is the only one left alive. Only he can decide whether the plane will land in LA with its monstrous cargo or to let it crash.

Occupied is a novella from the horror collection Shorting the Undead & Other Horrors: a Menagerie of Macabre Mini-Fiction.

Also includes an excerpt from the urban dystopian thriller GAMELAND, in which the Undead are avatars in a live-action, virtual reality survival gaming arcade located on Long Island. When a group of computers hackers break in, all hell breaks loose. Getting in was easy, but getting back out is a killer.

[Victoria · Rating 3 out of 5]

Stack Miller needed to get himself rest, after a accident left him unable to race which was his life he went into "hiding" not doing anything. He is forced to see a psychiatrist to help out but he refuses so his agent sends him to a place hes never been instead... Bermuda! After a 10 day vacation he has no choice but to return to his life and move on however the plane hes on to go home has him taking a whole new adventure when its infested with zombies. What a twisted little tale this book is with a few more twists at the end
