Amadeus Creed: The Mad Butcher

Amadeus Creed: The Mad Butcher

La Selva was supposed to be a sanctuary. A hidden nation built on science, order, and progress. Instead, it became the domain of Creed, a brilliant but monstrous visionary whose experiments twisted bodies, minds, and generations. Under his rule, humanity became raw material, and the pursuit of perfection became a nightmare carved into flesh.

When José Miguel Carrera, a soldier, survivor, and reluctant rebel, finally brings Creed’s empire crashing down, the victory is anything but clean. The laboratories still hum with forbidden knowledge. Survivors bear scars that run deeper than skin. Children are born with unsettling traits that whisper of a genetic future no one asked for. And the people of La Selva, long conditioned to obedience, now face a freedom they are unprepared to wield.

As the nation struggles to rebuild, three forces rise from the ashes:

Commander Valerius, who seeks order through strength, wielding Creed’s salvaged technologies as tools of rebirth.

Elias Thorne, the voice of the oppressed, fighting for a democracy free from every shadow of authoritarianism.

Dr. Aris Thorne, hidden in the dark, quietly weaving Creed’s forbidden science into a new doctrine of “guided evolution.”

Caught between these clashing visions, José must confront a truth more terrifying than Creed himself:

Tyranny does not die with the tyrant. It survives in ideas, in fear, and in the seductive promise of progress without conscience.

La Selva has broken its chains, but the battle for its soul has only begun.

And in the fragile dawn after revolution, hope and horror grow side by side.

Know the Author: Dustin Grammer

Know the Author: Dustin Grammer

For this installment of our “Know the Author” series, we’re spotlighting Dustin Grammer, a rising voice in independent horror fiction. With titles like Moo, The Other Side of the Graveyard, The Structure, and Dirt Road Tales of Horror, Dustin blends rural dread, dark imagination, and character‑driven storytelling. In this short Q&A, we take a closer look at the author behind the books and the creative path that shaped his work.

Q&A

ZMP: What originally sparked your interest in writing within the horror or paranormal genre?

DG: Seems like horror was present for me from a young age, having been born in the 80's and a young kid through the early 90’s. I was scared of a lot of things, and I grew up around a lot of good storytellers. I can remember being babysat by an aunt and watching Friday the 13th, the 8th one, I believe. I had an older cousin who would tell scary stories about ghosts and werewolves; Pepsi and Doritos had the classic Universal Monsters on their products, and the elementary school library was full of monster books as well. The IT movies came out when I was in Kindergarten, I think, and I can remember kids talking about the “killer clown” a lot at school. So, I guess the combination of influences created the spark.

ZMP: When readers finish one of your books, what’s the one thing you hope stays with them?

DG: First off, I am incredibly thankful to anyone who has finished one of my books, but to answer the question, I would hope that a sense of enjoyment stays with them and also maybe that I scared them just a little…

ZMP: Do you have a writing routine, or do you work whenever inspiration hits?

DG: Inspiration hits me quite frequently, but I mainly write on weekends when I get motivated enough. Once that happens, I tend to put in hours of work at one time. Along the way, especially with my short story collections, I chart out the titles or chapters and add notes detailing draft completion and full edit percentages. I do this to have a visual motivator.

ZMP: Did any real events, people, or places influence the story or research?

DG: Absolutely yes! The majority of my stories and a lot of the characters are created that way. It could be a coworker, family member, or simply someone that I observed in public, as far as the characters go. I do this in hopes of making the characters seem like actual people and not just cardboard victims of the horrors in the stories. I also loosely create stories based on places I have traveled, and a lot of times set the stories in the southeastern states.

ZMP: What are you working on next, or what can readers expect from you in the future?

DG: I probably have a mile worth of notes to work off of, and I try to be careful about announcing what my next book project is, for the simple fact that I switch up a lot between works. I’ve switched projects three times now since the release of “MOO”, but nevertheless, I’m hoping to release another short story collection by the end of the summer. As a goal, I’d like to release at least three more books by 2028.

Dustin Grammer continues to carve his place in independent horror with stories that blend imagination, emotion, and the eerie familiarity of rural life. His work reminds readers that fear often hides in the quiet corners of everyday places. We appreciate Dustin for sharing his time and insight, and we look forward to seeing what dark paths his next project will explore.

Boogeymen by Sandra Rains DeBusk

 

Boogeymen by Sandra Rains DeBusk

Stunning new book from Sandra Rains DeBusk.

From the back of the book:

"The imagination is a wild unpredictable creature, waiting, lurking, wanting to be heard. How many times I've let my imagination go full force and scared myself to death.

I have awakened from a deep sleep and witnessed the grim reaper standing by my bed. How odd. I thought to myself. But,
before I could ask the question that lingered in my sleepy mind, he was gone!
Was this part of my imagination, or was he there and for what reason?

How real are spirits? Demons, Ghosts?
Is it just our imagination working overtime or is there a realness to it all?

Some say evil things and evil beings, do not exist ... but, I am here to tell you, they most certainly do."
