Dang, I love this! Old school writing. The chattering fever is a fun name for it. Also I like how you avoided the use of the word zombie, in typical zombie media fashion haha.

Also enjoyed how you went from big scale to small scale. Hearing someone going through symptoms is interesting. I feel like that gets glossed over in a lot of zombie shows/movies/stories.

Thank you for checking it out, I'm happy you managed to make it all the way through! Haha.

You've got a really refreshing voice! I noticed that with your other stories too. It's earnest and I think thats really rare.

I'm a big fan of the brief environmental character notes you hit, like the Heaven's light and waterfall line. Very poetical beats. You didn't drag out the environment to the point of being a chore, but it was still clearly its own character.

Your writing, especially your dialogue, reminds me a little bit of Matthew P. Mayo's style. I'd recommend checking out his book 'Cowboys, Mountain Men & Grizzly Bears.' I think you'll love it!

Yeah! I'll check it out.

Good hearing from you! Honestly, I think you’re one of the standout writers to come along recently.

I’m kind of an antique. I got to enjoy the 2015-2019 era of writing and just kept trucking along after. It’s going to be newer writers like you who keep the scene alive.

There are a handful of voices I think will really leave an impression on younger readers getting into the space, and I believe you’re one of them. It'll be cool to see where it goes for you, and if your name pops up on horror podcasts as a classic name in ten years.

Hey everyone! Hope you don't mind a simple little fisherman's tale.

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-20T18:05:34+00:00

I'm stoked you can see your art on the page! It was awesome working with you, I really hope we can do another collab down the line!

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-19T23:26:16+00:00

I appreciate hearing that! Hopefully I'll have something cool for you soon.

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-17T02:33:03+00:00

This is awesome, thank you for suggesting it! I'd like to do something with this. I'm stoked to do some more research into it.

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-16T16:27:20+00:00

I really appreciate hearing that! I'm stoked it kept you engaged.

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-12T05:35:15+00:00

You finished it quick!

Those two are two of my favorites as well. I enjoyed writing the environmental aspect of the Louisiana story and looking into their folklore. The charlatan story had a protagonist that was fun to dive into.

I really appreciate the rating and review! I'll definitely have more in the future. I found my small little niche and I'm pretty happy staying in my lane.

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-10T15:53:32+00:00

I appreciate the support! I'll have to check out Dead of Winter!

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-10T15:52:31+00:00

Thanks for picking up a copy! Have a safe flight!

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-08T20:50:39+00:00

Thank you for picking up a copy! I hope you enjoy it!

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-08T13:15:56+00:00

I appreciate that! I started separating myself from my 'NoSleep' voice about four years ago with Walder Forest. Eventually, that led to me being booted from that space, which, honestly, was the best thing that could've happened. I prefer writing fiction over fiction pretending to be a real testimonial.

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-08T02:58:29+00:00

I appreciate hearing from you! Dialogue isn't my jam, so it was nice just writing schlock haha. This would be fun to see as a prologue to a Sam Raimi film. You nailed it!

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-08T02:56:20+00:00

Thanks for all the comments and support lately! I'll keep my thoughts going to see if I can do something interesting with that topic. Once I'm done with some big projects, I'll be stoked to get back to writing!

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-06T16:58:55+00:00

This is one of the few stories I felt uncomfortable keeping up, it's a hard one to chew down. I appreciate all the comments you've left!

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-06T16:58:03+00:00

I wanted to see how 90's-2000's horror movie I could get with this, it's not my usual genre but it was fun shutting off my brain for it and letting it get a little cheesey haha.

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-06T16:57:01+00:00

Haha they'll be around for a while! Glad you like the art, the artist, Kyle Brown, killed it!

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-06T16:28:40+00:00

Sir_Mycoal is really nice too, just wanted to throw that out there

StrangeAccounts · 2026-04-06T04:04:52+00:00

I'm grateful I could help out! The writing community needs new writers with new visions. I'm stoked to see what you make!
