If this keeps up forget about ever discovering the next Stephen King or Clive Barker...
Fangoria had their attention drawn to a Kentucky news site that reported today on 18-year-old Kentucky native William Poole who was arrested on terrorist charges after a piece of fiction he had penned was discovered by his grandparents and turned over to the police. "My story is based on fiction," said Poole. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies."
Poole's zombie opus was for English class and made no threats to his school or any particular classmate, school faculty member or the police, however, a Kentucky detective says, "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky."
Wow. Just...wow.
I think we've all written a similar zombie high school story at one time or another. In fact, when I was a senior in my Connecticut high school I whipped up a piece of fiction that was basically Dawn of the Dead...except set in my school. The story came fully illustrated depicting full-blown zombie splatter. Later, I turned the story into a spec screening, albeit one I'm not proud of now. But still...
Times have changed for the worse, I suppose.
Poole now faces a $5,000 bond and now has to convince the court that the incident is all one big misunderstanding. Click the link below for the full story.
