We're in week 2 of our features on
Chantal Bourdreau.Today, she talks about her story in the anthology,
Zombie: Lockdown. Anthologies are a great way to get introduced to new writers, btw. Don't overlook them!
Summary: Prisons are supposed to keep the people on the outside safe. When the
dead walk, the very structures that protect society may become
fortresses that protect those on the inside from the rest of the
world... But... Can there really be any safe place when the dead seek to
devour the living? And what happens when there is nobody left to turn
the key? Will a slow, agonizing death from starvation be preferable to
taking one's chances with the undead? There may be no place left to run
after ZOMBIE: Lockdown.
Chantal on her story: My
most recent zombie short story publication was in Zombie Lockdown from May
December Publications. All of the stories in the anthology involve zombies and
incarceration. My story "Life and Undeath on the Chain Gang" is set
in the South during railway and road construction when prisoners were being
used as laborers in the chain gangs - only this is an alternate version of
history with a zombie twist.
