The Dead Party

Reader Review: "5/5: If you enjoy Black-Comedy and Horror, if "Sean of the Dead" made you chuckle, then you'll love this short story."

In Britain, the political party of choice — the party now in charge of every National decision — is The Dead Party. Since then, Sharon's life, her country, and her neighbours have changed unimaginably. Sharon's only chance is her newly acquired, though somewhat shaky superpower. But she has no control over it, the Dead want to recruit her (or eat her, they're not too fussy), and she can't remember seeing anyone else alive for months.

Will she live long enough to master her superpower, to escape an island of rot? Will she ever vote again? What fate awaits a seemingly lone survivor and reluctant rebel on an island where the Dead rule?

(This is a longer version of the original, which was published by Siren's Call Publications in 2012.)
