Hi Brenda,
Thanks again for submitting Zeeka and the Zombies to the
13Horror.com Film & Screenplay Contest.
It stands out for its unique blend of genres and vivid
setting. I particularly enjoyed the richly imagined futuristic Caribbean world
in 2036. The way you fused sci-fi elements with dark fantasy and Caribbean
folklore created a backdrop that was both unique and deeply immersive. This
setting, with its advanced technology, really anchored the story in a
distinctive environment. Very creative!
You've worked in several well-executed plot developments
that kept the tension high throughout. The revelation that Chief of Police
Grady was the true mastermind was pulled off really nicely. The touching twist
when it was revealed that Zeeka, despite his villainy, had not activated the
killer gadgets in Number Nine's false head, subtly wishing for his son to live,
also caught me quite off guard.
Your screenplay delivers on several horror fronts. The
gruesome scene during the Carnival massacre, vividly depicting the (splendidly
specific) 125 deaths and 75 severe injuries, with descriptions of
blood-splattered areas and severed body parts, was a delight!
Overall, Zeeka and the Zombies is a compelling and
ambitious work that successfully weaves together a complex narrative with strong
characters and memorable horror elements. There are moments of humor, witty
dialogue, and light-hearted interactions woven into the narrative, which made
it a very entertaining read.
We'll announce the finalists and winners on September 30th.
Good luck!
Best regards,
Andrew

HOW CAN ONE MAN USE SCIENCE FOR REVENGE?
HOW CAN ONE MAN USE SCIENCE FOR REVENGE?
ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES is the first story in the mind-blowing, multi-award-winning book Zeeka Chronicles.
The futuristic book series was inspired by the zika virus.
It’s the year 2036, and it’s a high-tech world.
Dr. Raynor Sharpe had a vision of zombie-like men with small heads walking on the beach. Was he dreaming or was it a reality?
The woman he secretly loves, Janet Jones, is engaged to another man and is sleeping in the next room. Why is she there?
He received a call from Dr. George Brown of the Gosh hospital where he works. Upon his arrival, he is surprised to hear Dr. Brown say that a zombie visited him, he sedated him and placed him in Room Nine.
He had no name and he called him Number Nine.
The zombie told Dr. Brown that his Master was Zeeka and there were fifty others like him planning an attack on the hospital.
The mystery deepens when Number Nine disappears from the hospital.
Was he really a zombie and was he speaking the truth?
The plot thickens when Janet’s wedding invitation reveals that her fiancĂ© is Dr. Jason Stephens, who the police suspect of being Master Zeeka.
Jason calls off the engagement with Janet and disappears.
Raynor finds Janet and finally proposed to her.
Did she accept?
Did the police find Zeeka?
Read a review from an ardent fan:
"This was such a fun read. The reading world is crammed with zombie stories, but I'll bet you haven't read one like this. It had the feel of an old black and white sci-fi movie, which I love, blended with modern themes and a more modern medical aspect.
Considering the length, I was surprised by how much was packed in it as things zipped along. I really loved Janet and Raynor and found their relationship a nice addition. I'm so curious to learn more about the 'zombies' and Zeeka in the next parts."
