While I occasionally download horror stories, post apocalyptic tales, zombie stuff - they are not my preferred genres to spend a lot of time in.  It has most to do with suspension of belief required for plot devices and premises.  Still, I try one or two every couple of weeks to see if the genre will offer me a writer whose style will pull me into the tale and spin it well enough I am not just laughing at (what I feel) is hokey as tale goes through its slashes, feasts, etc.This writer has hit a high note in my mind.  The story is told without a bunch of silliness that (I feel) can - at times - be what makes me disfavor the genre over others.  There are contacts with the undead and descriptive bits on such.  However, the whole was not focused merely on encounters for gore value or tons of scenes related to zombie meets to inflate word count.  In fact, the only real gore (to my thinking) was the human on human encounter this man relayed over the Thanksgiving feast and its main course.It takes a look at a man and a ghost who have watched the earth reclaimed via apocalyptic events.  I don't want to give spoilers (I have only done so 2 or 3 times) so I won't give more specific details.I CAN say, this zombie short was tastefully done (no pun intended) and edited very well with vivid imagery and fast pace.Recommend getting this one free and investing in a longer work of this author.Christine
