"From Ancestral Legends to Modern Monsters: The Zombie's Fascinating Evolution"
Intriguing tales of reanimated corpses have appeared in diverse cultures throughout recorded history. However, when it comes to zombies, their roots can be distinctly traced back to Equatorial and Central Africa.

There’s Nothing in the Attic
The house at the end of the street was for sale and it was a bright day in the town square down the road where the markets were beginning to open their shutters. Children who were off from school for the weekend, took their balls and dolls to play there often. Recently, the rest of the street noticed that the ‘for sale’ sign on that single house at the far end of the street had been crossed out and replaced with ‘sold’. A little girl with brown hair the length of her back, the daughter of the newcomer’s next-door neighbour shuddered lightly to her friend, “don’t you remember what happened there?” But her friend simply shook his head and shrugged it off. “That guy that went missing…Didn’t he live there?” She sounded unsure, as if she couldn’t remember, as if it had even happened in her lifetime.
