Here are the judge's comments:

Hi Brenda,

Thanks again for submitting Zeeka and the Zombies to the 13Horror.com Film & Screenplay Contest.

It stands out for its unique blend of genres and vivid setting. I particularly enjoyed the richly imagined futuristic Caribbean world in 2036. The way you fused sci-fi elements with dark fantasy and Caribbean folklore created a backdrop that was both unique and deeply immersive. This setting, with its advanced technology, really anchored the story in a distinctive environment. Very creative!

You've worked in several well-executed plot developments that kept the tension high throughout. The revelation that Chief of Police Grady was the true mastermind was pulled off really nicely. The touching twist when it was revealed that Zeeka, despite his villainy, had not activated the killer gadgets in Number Nine's false head, subtly wishing for his son to live, also caught me quite off guard.

Your screenplay delivers on several horror fronts. The gruesome scene during the Carnival massacre, vividly depicting the (splendidly specific) 125 deaths and 75 severe injuries, with descriptions of blood-splattered areas and severed body parts, was a delight!

Overall, Zeeka and the Zombies is a compelling and ambitious work that successfully weaves together a complex narrative with strong characters and memorable horror elements. There are moments of humor, witty dialogue, and light-hearted interactions woven into the narrative, which made it a very entertaining read.

Best regards,

Andrew

ZOMBIE LOVERS CAN READ A FUTURISTIC THRILLER

DEAR FRIENDS,

I am sharing with you one of my bestsellers for your reading pleasure.

REVENGE OF ZEEKA - ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES is Book 1 in a horror mystery thriller series about futuristic zombies and their clever Mastermind Zeeka.

.A zika virus outbreak is the start of the island's troubles.

Twenty years later terror stalks the island.

It’s the year 2036, and it’s a high-tech world.

Dr. Raynor Sharpe saw zombie-like men with small heads walking on the beach.

Was he dreaming or was it a reality?

He received a call from Dr. George Brown of the Gosh Hospital where he works. Upon his arrival, he is surprised to hear Dr. Brown say that a zombie visited him, he sedates him and places him in Room Nine.

He had no name and he called him Number Nine.

The zombie told Dr. Brown that his Master was Zeeka and there were fifty others like him planning an attack on the hospital.

The mystery deepens when Number Nine disappears from the hospital.

Was he really a zombie and was he speaking the truth?

The plot thickens when Janet’s wedding invitation reveals that her fiancé is Dr. Jason Stephens, who the police suspect of being Master Zeeka.

Jason calls off the engagement with Janet and disappears.

Raynor finds Janet and finally proposes to her.

Did she accept?

Did the police find Zeeka?

Read a review from an ardent fan:

"This was such a fun read. The reading world is crammed with zombie stories, but I'll bet you haven't read one like this. It had the feel of an old black-and-white sci-fi movie, which I love, blended with modern themes and a more modern medical aspect.

Considering the length, I was surprised by how much was packed in it as things zipped along. I loved Janet and Raynor, and their relationship was a nice addition. I'm curious to learn more about the 'zombies' and Zeeka in the next parts."

ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES BY BRENDA MOHAMMED

Raynor's eyeglasses fell to the highly polished floor.

He picked it up, put it on, pulled the curtain aside, and looked out of the window.

"Am I awake?"

He shook his head as if to shake off his drowsiness.

"Is this something out of a science fiction movie? Am I seeing hundreds of short people with tiny heads walking like robots on the beach?

"He scratched his head again, and then pinched himself. "That hurt. I am not dreaming."

He looked at the digital calendar on the wall to recall the date.

It was Sunday 30th January 2036.

He flung open the window to take another look at the beach.

The pungent smell of rotting fish invaded the room.

He could hear the waves pounding on the seashore.

There was no one in sight except a lone angler trying to pull in a catch.

He wondered, "did I just have a vision? Where are the short robot-like people? What about those noises I heard?"

ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES is available on Amazon in Kindle and Paperback.

Read a review from an Amazon Reviewer:
"An intriguing start of a promising series.
Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
This is a story about a mad scientist who got really mad.
We do not learn about him and his motives much in this book since it's just the first part of the series.
Yet Brenda Mohammed shows us the first consequences of his madness in this clever story about a virus outbreak leading to an emergence of strange zombie-like people.
The fast pace and amount of action keep this story thrilling.
At the same time, the author manages to give us a glimpse of the main characters' feelings that do not concern the zombies directly.
We can observe a young doctor planning her marriage and her admirer's disappointment.
This seems to be a plot within the main plot, and it makes this story more complex, the characters easier to relate to, which is not easy to achieve in such a short story that is packed with action.
Yet there is a final twist that reveals to us that personal lives of the main protagonists may be infected by Zeeka's influence more than it seems at first glance.
This book leaves many questions unanswered and makes me look forward to reading the sequels.
I can even imagine this book as a good movie."

This is what the print book looks like.

In Revenge of Zeeka by Brenda Mohammed, the island of Gosh is under attack by an army of zombies under the command of a vengeful science genius. In the year 2016, the Zika virus broke out in Central and South America with life-threatening effects for pregnant women.
Given a choice to save the mothers or the unborn babies, a decision was made to save the mothers.
The tiny stillborns were securely and secretly buried.
Only a few people knew of this.
Unknown to everyone, however, a certain scientist managed to get hold of all 51 bodies, bring them back to life, and condition them to follow his command, creating himself a perfect army of zombies.
Now, twenty years later, the evil scientist seeks revenge on those he holds responsible for the stillbirths.
Only three of the current doctors at Central Hospital - Raynor, Mark, and George - witnessed the unfortunate events of 2016.
The three have strong suspicions about who might be controlling the zombies. Meanwhile, Zeeka is lying in wait for the perfect time to unleash his army onto the island. Zeeka has big, evil plans and this is just the beginning. In a desperate search for answers, and with very little to go on, the doctors search for the elusive Master Zeeka.
Will they save the islanders from Zeeka and his zombies, or will it be too late?
Revenge of Zeeka, by Brenda Mohammed, is a one of a kind novella trilogy that delivers an incredible story guaranteed to give readers an absolute sci-fi treat.
I especially liked how Brenda used current events as the pivotal point from which to build this amazing sci-fi horror.
This made the story even more relatable.
More importantly, however, I admired how she owned her story and created this captivating version of events.
She captured with an amazing depth the setting, characters, plot, and emotions in such few words.
If you are looking for a thrilling short read, this fast-paced, sci-fi action novella will give you the time of your life.
