Feed My Reads recommended in 2022 - day 101

Welcome to day 101 of our Feed My Reads recommended reads in 2022 and we once again welcome James Melzer to our selection with the excellent short story Now I Lay You Down.  This story sees zombies and the end of the world yet manages to contain sexual moments too and who could argue with that?

Sex at the end of the world!

After watching her husband die in the zombie apocalypse, Serana is left to wander the world alone. Foraging for food and supplies and only taking rest when it's safe, the last year has been difficult, but she's a tough girl who knows the ropes.

After she stumbles across an abandoned church, she meets the caretaker, Tommy. Like her, he's a survivor, and the two form an instant bond that leads to the sharing of their bodies in a hot mess of passion that changes their worlds forever.

From award-winning author James Melzer comes an erotic, horrific romp that will leave you trembling in ways you won't soon forget.

*Contains explicit, sexual situations and is intended for a mature audience only*

Review:

The end of the world has finally happened and the few survivors are having to carefully navigate their way through the wreckage and avoid the zombies who remain but when Serana enters a church in hope of having a safe space for the night she could never imagine what she will uncover and just how much it will change her life.

This is a short story which is a horror that also contains plenty of sexual situations and manages to cram a huge amount of punch into a story of less than 30 pages.  The small markdown is that there were a few little editing issues and it felt like a story that could have been developed into so much more if it had been increased into a larger length but these are very smalls things that should not put others off reading this one.
