A promotional image for a Deathbed horror story by Ben Zelevansky that publishes on Monday.

The title, “Self Storage,” is superimposed over an image of a padlocked storage unit door. The tagline reads “True friends keep secrets.”

I wrote a new blog at TheDeathbed.Substack.com about why I published a fictional pulp horror story about real life politics.

My latest horror story on DeathbedWriting.com is called “Saint Vengeance” and it is about a bunch of murderous ICE agents who behave like they’re above the law. Unlike most stories about that topic these days, mine is fictional. #AbolishIce

You know what happens when the Mother Cabrini, the undead Patron Saint of Immigration meets up with a lawless band of ICE agents in New York City on the Fourth of July? FIREWORKS Read “Saint Vengeance” on DeathbedWriting.com

I wrote the newest horror story for DeathbedWriting.com, it is called SAINT VENGEANCE, and it’s about what happens when rogue ICE agents face the reanimated corpse of St Frances Xavier Cabrini, the Patron Saint of Immigration, on the Fourth of July in New York City. It’s a tired, huddled MASSACRE.

Last month, a band called TOPHOUSE got on my radar because they release new songs every Monday, and one was a banger called DEATHBED. Since I publish horror stories by comedy writers every Monday, it only made sense to respond with a short story called…TOPHOUSE. DeathbedWriting.com

When I saw the remake in 2004, I hated it, (except the opening which I loved.) I felt it took the one element that made the original a classic, the criticism of consumer culture, and just cut it. Recently I rewatched it, (without expecting Romero’s genius) and it was fine. Fun, even.
