A palpable hit. I read this twice in quick succession, both times getting goosebumps in the early Dead City scenes, and later with the tales final lines. The greater insight into the nature of the zed wave given here and in “The Tainted Moor” add a new dimension of creeping horror to an already terrifying phenomenon. Bravo!
Hi. Just wanted to express to you how good your short story is and how much I enjoyed reading it. Your writing, the relentless pace and self-assured voice really draws one in. Very impressed that you wrote it all in one day. It’s very clean, sharp and dynamic. - Irini, New York
Just finished reading over House of Heavenly Light and …. O_O Need More. Love the atmosphere, the story pulls you into it and I could imagine the crunch of city debris and glass underneath my feet. My breathing grew shallow, as if my silence would somehow help XXXXX avoid notice of the zed. When the XXXXX appeared, all I could think was “NO! Just pull out man! Get the feck out of there!” The content is thick and intricate while still having a strong and clear impact as to what you’re getting across. I’m much more interested in post-apocalyptic and future settings to begin with. So that was definitely my cup of tea. Thank you for sending the story! It was an amazing short read. Look forward to discovering more of the Yellow Dawn universe. - Sammi, Arizona

YELLOW DAWN is a role-playing game described as a post-apocalyptic world for action adventure and investigative horror. Some aspects of the game draw heavily upon H.P.Lovecraft’s “Cthulhu Mythos” cycle of stories.
