Dead America - Tales of the First Month - Red eye

[@tipsyXtwo]

I like that despite having no idea if the bites are fatal, or if getting bit will turn you, the pilot shoved the bit girl right off the plane like it was nothing 😂

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

Haha yeah, pilots don't mess around

[@a.m.pietroschek1972]

It isn't all airlines' `Standard Filthy Wh*re Procedure´ ? 🤣

[@richlisola1]

Seriously, I love seeing characters make swift smart assessments, and acting decisively

[@SilentHill4Life]

Well, he shoved her out because she was keeping the door open and risking other zambies from getting in lol

[@tipsyXtwo]

@@SilentHill4Life that’s a fair point

[@harrygrimley4352]

Yep. I want more please. Thanks. Very interesting start.

I've been listening to this from Jamaica for months now and I am obsessed. One of the best channels on KZbin 🎉😊

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

Really appreciate you being here and so glad you're enjoying the series!

[@faybeemaybemill8567]

How is Jamaica doing during the zombie apocalypse? Thinking about it, it might be the worse for wear, with people from every corner of the world visiting you. Could be pretty bleak. But, not to sound too flippent, what a beautiful part of the world to be fighting the undead.

[@JR-tr1df]

rather be in Jamaica than Chicago if ima be fighting the undead. Rather die warm @@faybeemaybemill8567 😁

[@richlisola1]

@@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor Sounds like the Caribbean needs to be gleaned in on amidst the apocalypse! Maybe something on a cruise ship that can’t make port, or a Jamaican man or family wading through a horde of fat rich zombies 🧟‍♂️ tourists? 🏝️ 🛳️

[@quentinfarris2799]

Thank you for posting. I enjoy these zombie stories from the very beginning when people initially don’t know that an outbreak is occurring.

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

Thanks! And yeah these are fun to write. Don't have to think big picture, just in the moment terror.

[@BC-kn6cw]

Good writing but the narration is iffy. Everyone sounds super relaxed.

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

@@BC-kn6cw They're updating the software, so hopefully when the next batch of stories comes out the voice will be a bit better!

[@brunneng38]

By far the best zombie story channel on KZbin.

Dude. Thanks. Very much appreciated. Take care of yourself and your family first. We can wait. Your stories are worth the wait.

Thanks Harry! Yeah we are down at the house today getting it prepped to move. And rekeyed the doors and decided that since I was an adult, I was getting a Spider-Man house key. Haha

@@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor absolutely. If you collect did you see the page from spider man that auctioned off for over a million about a year ago? One page! Why wouldn't you sell the whole comic?

Bro... Bloomington illinois is where i was born and raised what de heck!

[@hamakaze1364]

Also done the flight from BMI to ohare before only about a 30 min flight so nice detail

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

Nice! yeah I used to fly into Bloomington when I would go to Champaign way back in the day. Airport was crazy small and laid back. they had a coffee pot set up outside the gates with an honor payment box (get a cup of coffee, drop a dollar in the box). never saw anything like that before, and I've traveled all around

[@hamakaze1364]

@@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor quite a small world eh? Litterly grew up there, went to school I'm farmer city, sisters I'm uni in champaign , the fact I've now heard nit 1 but 2 zombie apocalypse stories in CI quite interesting I

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

@@hamakaze1364 That's awesome, and yeah, small world indeed. I actually lived and worked in Champaign for a year or so back in 2009 before moving to Austin.

[@GaryJ-zl6zr]

hi Derek how have you been man, great to see your still knocking them out the park,got a lot of your books to catch up on.hope your well.

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

I'm hanging in there Gary! Just spent the entire day at the house getting stuff ready for the move in a couple of weeks. House sat empty for a year, so lots of stuff to get done!

[@GaryJ-zl6zr]

@@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor hi Derek,wow man thanks so much for getting back to me,a think the last time I was speaking to you,you had just moved and you had an English dude narrating.i moved house myself, still in Glasgow Scotland,your some man I don't know how you do it all. I listened to red eye,loved it and really like the American guy narrator.derek your books and all the times you got back to me got me through a really hard time in my life and the offer still stands,if you ever want to come over youv got a place to stay brother.going to get another one of your books listened to.

[@richardwilson2827]

thanks bro

[@bpdmf2798]

Thanks a million times. These stories are my go to for taking a walk. The shorts are great for just jumping into and not thinking about the big picture or longer stories. Thanks again. You're the best. I would love to get these in written form, maybe you could upload .epub versions to a dropbox or Google drive or something, that'd be great.

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

I really appreciate it! And all of the books are on Amazon on kindle unlimited. I have one collection of the Tales stories out and am making another

Good stuff man!🤘🇧🇻

[@Gmoneythedon]

Saturday zombie 🧟‍♂️ day lets goooooo thanks again #first

[@flapjakhatstak]

Great addition to the dead america world, though, being from rockford, I’m a bit miffed you didn’t choose us. 300k metro area, industrial town thats seen better days, an hour up I90 from O’hare airport that also serves as an amazon/ups hub for even the chicago area. Half way between chicago and the mississippi river, 2 college campuses, smaller cities near by where people might’ve survived. Are we screwed or is there a little stronghold of survivors?

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

I actually picked Bloomington because I used to fly in there all the time when I would head over to champaign. So really just referencing my own life, haha. But that's good to know about Rockford. I'm planning another "tales of the first month" style series that focuses on the "Big Citiee" like Chicago, LA and NYC, so might Have to work Rockford in there.

[@efuller6770]

Ooohh Bloomington. I know that area... let's see how good the research is

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

I spent a couple of years in Champaign, so flew into Bloomington a lot

[@sofaking7880]

This narrator sounds like the one who narrates another zombie series ill be back with its name but thank you derek hope your almost fully moved into the new place

[@sofaking7880]

So the series is by Bob howard and it sounds like the narrator who reads his books is doing the narration for you derek but the first book is called alive for now it's pretty good so if anyone is waiting for any of your releases it's not a bad series to listen to in mean times again thank you derek for releasing all of these books on here for us hope you and your family nothing but the best

[@sofaking7880]

Is it grahm Halstead sorry if I miss spelled his name but yeah if so it's the same narrator lol

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

Thank you! Yeah we are doing work at the house now to get it ready. Moving in just after Thanksgiving. Nothing but chaos, haha

[@sofaking7880]

@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor I hope everything goes smoothly for you for whatever work needs to be done to it before moving in I've been helping my buddy redo electrical and the whole nine at his dad's house so him and his wife can move in its been alot of work but fun and a great learning experience for me

Soon. It will be in December. Just closed on a house so trying to juggle.all that fun stuff, haha. But nom-stop zombie action in 2024 though!

[@sondradenny6909]

@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor this one was way too close to home lol

[@richlisola1]

Seeing what they saw, I would’ve flown north. Into Canada 🇨🇦 -As far into the wilderness as possible, to find somewhere flat and desolate to land.

[@turbopokey]

They didn't have the fuel to get anywhere near that far, plus they didn't know exactly what was going on on the ground as it was dark out. All they knew was reports of "riots" around and they weren't sure how things were going on the ground in Bloomington. If they had, ditching in lake Michigan near the shore as far north as they could get doesn't sound bad. If they could have gotten past Milwaukee there's not many people up that way. In the dark a water landing seems better than crashing in an unknown field.

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

Yipeeee!

[@vincenteasley]

18 seconds in. 1st 😅

[@MelvinMowle-ui3yh]

Hope your move goes good. In my opinion moving is one of the worst packing, loading, and unloading then if you're lucky you finally get everything unpacked 6 months later. Thanks for the story.

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

Thanks Melvin! Yeah, I told my girl that she better love this house because it's going to be my death house. Never moving again. Fifty years from now I'm going to be haunting the next family that lives here, haha

Good book. But the monotone AI-reading is annoying. At least it makes us appreciate more the real humans reading.

[@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor]

Thank you! And yeah I had to switch over to AI for financial reasons. Once I got through my backlog it was either AI or have one story every few months
