pandiesuicide-1New Zealand-born writer/actress/ filmmaker Pandie James (Massacre) recently rediscovered a treasure trove of old works she’d written as a teenager and in her early 20’s on an old hard drive. One of these treasures was ‘Vampire Summer’, a short vampire story set in her hometown of Wellington, New Zealand.

Deciding to release the short story on Amazon.com for 99c US on November 19, James was astounded by the response. By the next day the short story has sky rocketed up the charts to #26 on the scifi and fantasy short reads bestsellers and #80 on the horror short story bestsellers list, keeping company with the likes of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft, and all with zero promotion of any kind.
