Damn good story. Very well written. I was hoping Seamus would gut the fucker at the end, but oh well….

really messed up but i liked how the character didn’t sugar coat anything in the narritive. he was a heartless, clever, arrogant generally nasty person. i really didn’t like him but that is the type of person that would survive in a zombie apacolypse

Sorry, I couldn’t read the whole way through. I found it boring. It was too slow.

“And there you were; poor silent Seamus the prison guard, barely visible behind them in the wreckage. So, luckily for those ugly tree dwellers I was forced to implement plan “B”.”

Seamus was the silent prison guard rescued from the prison van…. presumably he would have testified against the other vikings….providing a witness to the atrocity of their actions in the lawless world… if society ever was re-established and they had to be tried for their crimes…

who is Seamus, I understand why the dude had to kill him, but really who is he and how is it he is different from the others?

Very nice. I don’t know why the character had to kill Seamus though.

Dude is whacked. There are probably more people who would be killers out there than you think they just aren’t for fear of punishment. nice creepy story.

Gross and repugnant. But that’s because we, as humans, are just that. Civility is a veil, that we’re not too good at maintaining. We try, though. Human existence is like a long, bloody trail through time and we are good at that.

[...] I just came across this website a few days ago and was immediately endeared to it. I’ve always had a soft spot for a good tale of the undead (dystopias of any sort really float my boat, actually) and the stories found on this sight are both horrible and massively entertaining. Yesterday I read Kevin Fortune’s “The New Vikings” and would recommend it to any fan of dark horror – it’s a little bit Clockwork Orange, a little bit Exquisite Corpse, and a whole lotta gruesome with some real literary style through in for good measure.
