    About this ebook

    Drowning the warlock didn’t end things ... It only started the terror!

    Lovers Nissa and Arzu are running for their lives to escape a warlock’s revenge. The trouble is, Scaletown doesn’t have many places to hide. Worse, the floating village is uniquely vulnerable to the ravages of an undead megalodon.

    Zombie Shark is a rip-roaring summer read--and suitable to heat up cold winter nights as well. You’ll be hooked from the first line!

    Stephen D. Sullivan is the award-winning author of dozens of fantasy novels and stories. He lives in haunted Frosthaven, Wisconsin.

      Zombie Shark - Stephen D. Sullivan

      Drowning the warlock didn’t end things...

      The two young mages looked in horror at the mangled body lying on the docks.

      We need to get out of Scaletown, Arzu whispered to her lover. Right now.

      What? Nissa asked. Why—?

      Don’t you remember? Arzu hissed. "We’ve seen this before!"

      Gods of Mercy, Nissa gasped. She’d been so worried about Arzu’s illness that she hadn’t noticed the similarities; Belna the fisherwoman had clearly been savaged by some kind of huge shark. But, that’s impossible! Umira killed that monster.

      I know, Arzu replied.

      We sealed the rift! Nissa said, voice cracking with desperation.

      I know, Arzu repeated. But maybe there was another one.

      Gods of Mercy!

      I don’t know how it’s happened, Arzu said, all I know is that we have to get out of here—right now!

      How?

      Before the echo of Nissa’s question had died away, though, the town’s alarm bell began to ring again.

      All the people assembled on the docks, which must have been at least three quarters of Scaletown’s population, froze at the sound—even those tending to the dying fisher captain. Everyone looked puzzled.

      Then a little girl’s frantic cry split the air, drowning out even the peal of the bell:

      SHARK!

      …It only started the terror!

      PROLOG

      I curse you, Magrum Saark said, staring at the sea of angry faces hovering above him. He focused his black eyes on each of the floating island’s leaders in turn: Jorum, Selni, Tybek, Vard, Belna—all hypocrites. Yes, they’d feigned horror when they’d discovered his secret, but behind those public faces he’d also seen envy. Any one of them would have done what he did, if they’d possessed the knowledge. I curse, you, each and every one, the aging warlock continued. You and your children shall di—Oof!

      Vard slammed his slab-like fist into Saark’s stomach, and all the breath rushed out of the warlock’s lungs. Saark tried to continue, tried to form the words of the curse, but another blow hit him, and then another, and another. Spots danced before his eyes. He found it impossible to concentrate as the rough hands of the townspeople forced him toward the edge of the boat, pressing his back against the gunwale so hard that he thought his spine would snap.

      I— he managed to gasp, but as he did, someone forced an oily rag into his mouth, choking off his efforts. Why were they doing this? He’d only been ridding their floating scavenger-isle of undesirable elements. They should have been lavishing him with thanks; yet, instead, they were trying to kill him.

      It was more than envy, Saark realized; it was fear. They feared the power he sought—and the power he already possessed.

      What’s this? Jorum’s rough voice asked, pulling aside the tattered robes covering Saark’s chest. The eyes of Scaletown’s self-styled Admiral went wide as the warlock’s
