Status Updates From Infinite Pieces Volume 1: "...

Atlantis Blackout by David W. Wright.

No Retreat by Percival Constantine.

Underfoot/Crawlspace by B. K. Burns.

Judgement House by Ebony Graves.

Sweet. LGBTQIA action.

Going to knock this off my list. The current story is really interesting.

ATLANTIS BLACKOUT by David W. Wright

That was intense. Action almost from the beginning. Great setting on a semi-submersible rig in the Gulf of Mexico. The situation is a sort of 'Into The Drowning Deep' meets 'Alien' but with an overlay of an abusive relationship that makes the story personal and adds even more tension.

The abuse is hard to read, I am not going to lie 😭

The heirloom by Kathryn Cottam.

NO RETREAT by Percival Constantine

That was original and strange. I liked the suspense. The ending was a little abrupt and not entirely convincing but the idea is a good one.

I don't like the style, but I definitely want to see what happens next...

The Devil's Son by Sean Platt.

UNDERFOOT/CRAWLSPACE by B. K. Burns

An intense story told with skill. Violent and bloody but not in an exploitative way. Maddie is about to turn 18. She has a plan to escape from her abusive uncle. The plan has to change when violent men come looking for her uncle What follows is a tense, desperate struggle for survival that had my full attention. I love the way this was written:: vivid, tense and personal.

THE HEIRLOOM by Kathryn Cottam

Wow! That was a ride. It was dark and violent. There was child abuse, self harm, and immolation and yet it remained a story about two sisters helping each other to survive. The supernatural element was a scary twist on a new idea. I loved that the story deviated from the "They're doomed and nothing can help them!" and gave me something just as scary but a little more hopeful.

The Z.O.A. by Kim M. Watt.

Thirty Minutes by Sean Platt.

THE DEVIL'S SON by Sean Platt

From the beginning, it's clear that something is badly wrong here. Something evil. But what? And what can or should be done about it. The answer depends on what you believe and the consequences depend on whether what you believe is true. This was tense and stimulating and I'm still in two minds about whether I have the right answer. I love that.

THE Z.O.A. by Kim M. Watt

That was fun - bloody and tense but fun. I'm enjoy Kim Watt's books. I was curious to see what she'd write when she freed her imagination from the contratints of cosy stories. I love the result. The humour is still there. The intimidatingly ruthless old ladies are still in charge but there's a little more chaos and a lot more blood. This is one of most ejoyable zombie stories I've read.

THE KIDDIES by Sawyer Black

I liked this. An original take on the zombie apocalypose. A sort of 'Gone World' twist but with the toddlers being the threat. A wave of mindless carnivore kiddies was surprisingly revolting. I like the tight focus of the story as a personal journey. The ending was inspired.

Ugh, kids are so creepy.
