Part of the story takes place at a pond from my childhood (in my fictional world, it is filled with zombie catfish). The same pond inspired "The Scavengers Lying in Wait", due in Harvest Hill next October.
These shots were taken last spring. Behind the camera, through about twenty yards of trees, is Greenwood Cemetery, home to more dead than the number of living in my hometown. Damn if this isn't a great locale for a horror story.
The pond used to stretch off to the right in the bottom picture. A buddy and I would hang out on Sunday afternoons and catch dozens of bullhead. We used to freak each other out, too, what with the scores of tombstones within shouting distance.
Good times.

It looks like a pond I take my daughter to now. Only without the zombie catfish or tombstones. Congrats. Now I need to get my butt in gear for that story (I just thought of an angle on it today)
Congrats on the sale! Sounds like a cool story, too.
Man, everyone's talking about Dead Bait. I'm starting to feel left out, so hopefully I'll actually come up with a story idea.
Thanks, both
Jamie - there's nothing like a nice little pond, protected from the world by a bunch of gnarly trees...
K.C. - um, undead sharks? You're the resident expert, right?
Congratulations on the story! : )
Very cool -- congratulations!
Congrats on the sale! Looking forward to reading it.
WOW! That was fast. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations.
Warm congrats! I plan on starting on mine today. All I have for right now is a starting image, but we'll see where that takes me.
Also, I am nearly done with the story I'll be sending them for the 2012 AD anthology.
Thanks, all.
Best of luck with 2012, Barry.
I know the pond was filled with zombie catfish in reality. You're just trying to keep us from panicking.
So thanks.
