A fun collection of horror stories from all spectrums of the horror genre. Monsters, killers, and zombies galore!
June 3, 2025
My first book by Eddie J. Morales and I have to say that I was impressed. This book has zombies, cannibals, ghosts, killers and monsters.
I am a die hard fan of The Walking Dead so I absolutely loved the Zombie Story in this book and how Eddie did an intermission of three different stories between each part of the Zombie Outbreak.
I would love a longer story about The Bite of a Female Vampire and also Haunted Cabin in the Cemetery. I absolutely loved both of these stories and think they would make a great longer story.
All in all I had fun reading this collection of short stories and I’m looking forward to reading more of Eddie’s work.
Virus of the Hunched Monkey: Experimentation on animals leading to a disease that turns people into Zombies.
Fear of Funeral Plans: Death is a part of the natural life cycle and people shouldn’t fear it.
This Lady is a Bug: A ladybug takes revenge on all humans who have wronged ladybugs.
Haunted Cabin in the Cemetery: Would you live in a cabin in a cemetery?
Hicksville’s Zombiefest: A continuation of Virus of the Hunched Monkey. The town of Hicksville overrun by Zombies.
Makings of a Shopaholic Killer: Serial Cannibalistic Shopaholic Killer.
A Ghost in the House: A wife dies and haunts the new wife and stepdaughter of her husband.
Revenge of the Sorceress: A sorceress and a succubus with a taste for revenge.
Zombie Outbreak on the East Coast: A continuation of Hicksville’s Zombiefest.
The House of Death: A haunted house.
The Bite of a Female Vampire: A female vampire avenging her death from businessmen.
The Last Camping Trip: A deranged killer.
The Wedding Dead: The continuation of Zombie Outbreak on the East Coast.

This was a quick read of thirteen short stories of horror, four of them basically parts of an extended tale. Each tale is basic with a quick boo scare, but no depth of tension or underlying exploration of mythos origination. The tales spread from zombies, a were-bug monster, and a vampire to deadly ghosts and cannibals, enough of a snack to horror lovers with an occasional pun, but those seeking a deeper psychological tension may feel a bit short-changed.

This was my first read of Eddie J. Morales.
This anthology was a lot of fun. It's full of zombies and other monsters. The stories are original, and most of the characters are likable. I recommend you join in the fun.
