Summary - Carla is invited on a late spring outing to the Islands to help shear sheep with her friends Mandy and Sheryl. She expects a day of excitement and exertion, chasing down the animals to bring them in for their clipping. She is not expecting, however, to be shocked by gruesome shark tales along the way, or by the terrifying circumstances that they encounter once they make land.

Chantal on the writing of Shear Terror - I like to incorporate real-life experiences into my writing. As a girl, I got to experience travelling to the Tusket Islands to help shear the sheep there and I found the idea of being trapped on those isolated islands very frightening. But I decided something could be even worse...being trapped on those islands with zombies.
