Summary

Born of bloodshed, a prolific stain, fed by the sins of earliest man....The Simmons moved into 228 Briar Street. With two growing children needing a stable routine and a house to call home, Marc and Claire settled into the old red brick, unaware of the neighborhood's dirty little secret. In the dark and unfamiliar depths of the basement it lurks. It desires to manipulate the family into destructive chaos as it has countless times past and as far back as there were settlers in this plot of land, feed upon both flesh and the ecstasy of its dark influence. And not just in this house. It is old, mischievous, and inherently evil. It is...THE STAIN. Ruschelle Dillon's brand of humor has been incorporated in a wide variety of projects, including the popular and bizarre novelette "Bone-sai," and this work reflects upon her talent this time in a dark and disturbing way, a tale of ancient evil resurrected in modern-day urban setting that only Ms. Dillon can tell, enough to satisfy any avid horror fan and will haunt you long after taking it all in from beginning to end.

    Reunited again—and I don’t f*cking care whether that’s a good thing or not. 
    Haunted by grief, plagued by hunger, we’re on the run—again. And mostly not from the undead this time, since I have my own special way of dealing with the zombies. It’s the living who think that survival of the fittest puts them on top of the food chain now.  
    Well, I got a surprise for you… 
    And, wouldn’t you know it, Jared is all for helping me stay strong… and full. 
    But there is hope for humanity yet, even if mine’s possibly lost for good. Resistance is rising, the intrepid few still fighting for a better tomorrow. Maybe not all is lost for those believing they are beyond being saved—or don’t give a crap about such mundane concepts. Yet times are trying enough that for a hot meal and a quiet night at a warm fire, we might just risk it all. 
    Only that none of us realized what we’d actually have to bargain for… 
    Because in the zombie apocalypse, things can always get worse.
