The Once Upon a Zombietale Anthology is a collection of nine twisted fairy tales from nine different authors. Today I bring you Beauty and the Beast Zombie Style by S.L. Bull.
Excerpt:
Agda watched in horror as Radley was slashed and bitten. One beast clawed at his heart and feasted on it s if he were in ecstasy. Agda pushed aside the shock and began to run. Unbeknownst to Agda, Tabor had taken off at the sight of Radley being eaten by the beasts and left Agda to her own fate like the selfish coward he was.
Agda ran through trees and snow, looking and screaming for help. She had no clue where she was and the only thought she had was to survive.
*****
What Agda also was unaware of was that Prince Clotho was hunting nearby that night. He was hunting the beasts and slaying them, in hopes that if they all died the curse would end. He happened to hear Agda's faint screams and ran to her aid.
Clotho ran toward her as she unknowingly ran toward him. He saw the beast chasing her and, while he had become accustomed to being alone, he knew the beasts must be killed, so he helped her.
