It was called "Screen Siren," and is in both Coming Together: Hungry for Love, and (in revised form) in my collection, Liquid Longing.<br /><br />Willsin, I always think it's a great idea to write in a genre you love to read. I wish you much luck!Annabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-17452045511487796882016-06-29T23:26:59.506-04:002016-06-29T23:26:59.506-04:00A few years ago someone published a zombie romance...A few years ago someone published a zombie romance. Her husband loved zombies and challenged her, telling her she'd never be able to write a romance involving a zombie. So she did it...it involved a voodoo curse that made him turn zombie at unexpected times. He was so horny because he never knew when it would happen! And imagine trying to explain to a woman why you're trying to eat her brain, not her pussy, because "a fit" just came on you!<br /><br />BTW, if you haven't seen "Warm Bodies" you need to. A true zombie romance, and very sweet at that. I was about 3/4 done with the movie when the balcony scene made me jump up and yell, "This is Romeo and Juliet, with zombies!" My husband told me to sit down and shut up. But I felt that realizing that similarity enhanced my enjoyment of the movie.

Mad Max and all... <br /><br />Two of the best zombie shorts I've ever read are by Annabeth ("Silver Screen"??) and Garce (can't remember the name, but it's really creepy, because it's zombie erotica...)<br /><br />So, is there a really big market for zombie apocalypse tales? Who knew?!Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-58335919455054970182016-06-28T21:23:42.783-04:002016-06-28T21:23:42.783-04:00I've never understood the fascination with zom...I've never understood the fascination with zombies, but you do make it seem more understandable. I do understand the free-for-all appeal of post-apocalyptic worlds, but I'm too old and stodgy to ignore the unlikelihood of surviving in such circumstances even though I probably have more survival skills than many younger folks (raising and preserving food, etc.) I can see zombies and apocalypses as metaphors for problems in our current society, but I'm also afraid that playing at zombie wars distracts us too much from facing up to the things that actually do threaten us--climate change and economic inequality, for instance--and working to solve those problems or at least on how to deal with them. (And then there's the threat of old codgers who grew up with the threat of nuclear war, and whose mothers studied up on constructing and stocking their own fallout shelters. Okay, I guess we all have our apocalyptic streaks.)

It's not the usual zombie trope, but the resolution does rely on the condition. Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.com
