Greetings Ghoul Destroyers,

Reviews are nearing completion, but be ready for an avalanche of stories over the next 48 hours. With Halloween fast approaching, it seems only right to inundate you with undead-related fiction. And to start things off, here is a treat from the video files.

Zombie killers,

A hearty (and overdue) congratulations to site contributor Bret Hammond, whose story RURAL DEAD was recently republished in the anthology The Living Dead 2, alongside such zombie fiction legends as Robert Kirkman, David Wellington, and Max Brooks. See the book site for more details.

More good news: in the spirit of repentance your humble editors will be posting a minimum of one new story per day for the next 7 days. So be sure to check back often – each day by noon (CST) a new tale will appear for your instruction and enjoyment.

Yours in victory,

-ed.

The current contest announcement will be delayed until October 20th – our apologies for the wait. TotZW has received an unprecedented number of submissions over the last few months, and we want to be sure to review 100% of them before making a decision.

Thank you for your patience,
-Ed.

Our editor’s guest blog at Reelz Channel is now available on their site.

Just a quick note that our editor was featured in a recent interview piece about the upcoming World War Z movie on the film fan site Reelz Channel. A follow-up guest blog entry is forthcoming.

1st Place: THE NEW VIKINGS by Kevin Fortune

Runner up: HOURGLASS by Crystal Lynn Hilbert

So many thanks to our contributors and readers – without you this site is nothing. This prize period saw the most submissions of any so far, and we look forward to even more.

Lead them to victory.

Today our repository of zombie fiction turns three. A huge thanks to the authors and illustrators who have made this site what it is. I’m sure our readers share the thrill of excitement when a new story is published to the site – a thrill that we, as editors, get to have a little early. So keep up the amazing work, all of you. As I know Mr. Brooks is fond of saying: Lead them to victory.
