In 2003, I wrote a short story called “In the Land of the Blind.” It won the 10th Annual Chiaroscuro Short Story Contest and was published in ChiZine in 2004. It was reprinted six years later in The Best New Zombies Tales, vol. 1, edited by James Roy Daley. Most importantly, the story was the inspiration for The Dishonored Dead, which is why I’m presenting it here as a special bonus. Enjoy.
