PREFACE
Hi. As I rewrite this introduction, yet again, it is the 13th day of August 2014.
A printed edition, really? I can easily imagine many folks are thinking.
Valley of Death, Zombie Trailer Park was my first attempt at trying to transfer the many disturbing thoughts, from the hunk of meat stewing inside my skull, into something resembling a novel. While it has met with a great deal of success, many readers have quite rightly poked their accusatory fingers at numerous grammatical problems contained herein- principally commas placed in weird locations or missing entirely where they should be.
Please, don't wave this novel at English Professors and say, “Mr. Bebb didn't put a comma here or there, so why did I get a D on my English Composition?” They will not be impressed. If anything, they will most likely be simultaneously shocked, saddened, and disillusioned at what passes for literature in the twenty-first century but not impressed. Or at least they shouldn't be swayed into forgiving your grammatical goofs just because of this novel.
I've also gotten numerous emails and reviews from people who believe this story gleefully crosses many lines of decency. There are numerous gratuitous descriptions of bloody violent altercations, cannibalism, and other socially questionable behavior. So, I guess you could consider this a final warning. Don't read this story if disgusting things offend you. I'm not smart enough to write a zombie tale that doesn't include gross subject matter, and if I were I doubt I'd bother to do so. Zombies are gross and usually tend to do distasteful things.
So, in summation, please don't read this story if you don't like tales about zombies. It breaks my heart when someone sends me a note and explains they couldn't finish reading the story because it was too violent, gory, crammed full of grammatical errors, and so on. The mere thought of ever upsetting anyone because of my novels oftentimes makes it difficult for me to sleep. I worry that someone might be so disheartened and miserable because a comma was missing or plopped down in the wrong place that they could take out their righteous frustrations on innocent victims. They might read a depiction of excessively disgusting death and suffer a mental breakdown. Another person might notice the zombies in this book aren't picky regarding who or what they eat and be traumatized when some animals get killed and devoured.
It's getting difficult to find the right keys to press through the torrential downpour of heartfelt tears of regret, sorrow, and shame. So, let me wrap up this introductory ramble with a sincere hope that no one reads this that is easily nauseated by zombies and their tendency to act out in antisocial ways or is a strict grammarian.
