Monster Island is up at
http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Fiction/_Fantastic%20Literature/
_Horror/Halloween%202005/ in MP2k Portrait, eMate Landscape and Classic
formats, so everybody can get a scare (serious!).
Check the About.txt to be sure if you want to read this... It's quite
gory and scary and violent (hmh, ain't that the point of zombie
stories? But I wonder if all those guns and shootouts are not
considered part of wholesome family-entertainment these days... At
least they're mostly shooting *dead* things, anyway, right? ;=} ). And
it's a lot about brains. BRAINS!
Thanks to Matt and Jettie for newtifying this--I've added the Wikipedia
article on Zombies to their job to round it off (hint: David's three
(!) zombie novels are missing in that article yet, maybe a fearless
reader wants to check out Wikipedia and add some lines...)
Thanks to David Wellington to put his books up on the web (actually, he
wrote them as serialized blogs... creating an interested community
around that... pretty neat!), be sure to check out his website at

[...] Just in time for Halloween, we present the three-part horror
novel, "Monster Island", by David Wellington. [...] Special thanks to
Jettie Hall, for taking the time tonight to edit the eBook for
orphaned text and to format the pages so that chapter headings appear
at the tops of pages, etc. For now, it will be available in the
"standard" MP 2X00 portrait format. If I get time next week, I will
transfer it to other formats. [...] It should be available very soon.
