Introduction

WELCOME… to Monster Island.

We hope you’ll survive enjoy your stay.

Someone will be along to take your bags shortly. Please do not feed your bellboy—he’s infectious. While you’re staying with us, please take advantage of our resort services. We don’t have any power, food, or clean water but our staff of ten million undead New Yorkers is waiting to greet you with open arms—and open jaws. Clean towels are available in the linen closet but please be advised the chambermaid has turned into a drooling flesh-eating ghoul. She's slow, however, and you might make it past her if you run for your life. Your room contains a safe for your valuables, plenty of old plywood for boarding up your door, and a complimentary shotgun on your pillow. Checkout time is 11 AM. If you cannot check out on time you may be left behind.

“Monster Island” is a free online serialized novel, set in New York City a month after zombies have overrun the planet.

Please note: this is a work of horror fiction. It contains graphic and disturbing depictions of violence and gore and is definitely not for everybody. If you are squeamish, overly sensitive to grotesque imagery, or just don’t enjoy a good scare, this story is probably not for you.

If, on the other hand, you enjoy taut suspense and riveting cliffhangers, engaging characters and visions of a nightmarish world where danger lurks around every corner, you’re sure to find something here to your liking. Why not give it a try?

If this is your first visit, please proceed to Part One, Chapter One.

If you have already read and enjoyed “Monster Island”, don’t run off screaming just yet. Please watch this space for updates and surprises. The second installment in the trilogy will begin in September. In the meantime, please, please, please do tell your friends and neighbors how much fun you had here. We’re always looking for new victims readers.

Thanks!
