For fans of Max Brooks, Robert Kirkman, and Stephen King… REDNECKS WHO SHOOT ZOMBIES, ON THE NEXT GERALDO is a 9,500 word novella of extreme horror by Chris B. Lacher, the editor of NEW BLOOD MAGAZINE, and Marc Paoletti, the author of SCORCH. It was published previously in Phantasm Magazine, Issue #4. “Possesses considerable merit. There’s a strong heart beating beneath the gore.” —Boneyard Magazine “The authors pull something of a fast one. They manage to deliver a moral and layered message in what may seem to be, at first blush, a simple zombie story.” —LiteraryHorror.com “One of the best methods for conveying social commentary is the horror story. File this one under Well Delivered.” —Horrorfind.com Welcome to The Texas New World Facility, a maximum security prison run by rednecks, and repurposed to contain legions of the walking dead. Tom is a dangerous, foul-mouthed felon who infiltrates this hell-on-earth looking for his father. Not surprisingly, he finds unspeakable depravity instead. The place is a blood-soaked, maggot-infested hive where surgeons are butchers, priests lose their faith, and castration is an acceptable form of social expression. The facility is run by Muss, a sadistic and androgynous warden with problems of his/her the nearby slaughterhouse—where zombie meat is processed into edible hash—has gone radio silent. Muss leads an armored strike force to see what’s happened, and forces Tom to tag along. What starts as a rescue mission soon devolves into a cataclysm of headshots, disembowelments, and cannibalism that leads to an unimaginable discovery.
