ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES II
About
When a mysterious outbreak linked to the Zika virus transforms children into zombies, a determined team of doctors and a sceptical detective must expose the rogue cop disguised as a scientist behind it, before his undead army overruns their Caribbean island home.
Brenda Mohammed crafts an intense, character-driven sci-fi horror thriller set in a richly imagined futuristic Caribbean world in 2036. The story’s high-tech elements, such as robots, brain-enhancing inventions, and weaponized zombies, mix with Caribbean Carnival celebrations, creating a visually stunning and culturally rich backdrop. The fusion of sci-fi, dark fantasy, and Caribbean folklore makes the story both unique and immersive.
The story is purely the author’s imagination, inspired by the Zika virus in 2016, and where Good triumphs over Evil.
The protagonist, Dr. Steven Sharpe, undergoes a deep transformation, evolving from victim to hero, while the antagonist, Master Zeeka, is psychologically complex, adding depth to the conflict.
With zombies, ghosts, kidnappings, and shocking revelations, the plot keeps the tension high.
In this new edition of Zeeka and the Zombies II: A Futuristic Sci-Fi Horror Thriller, the author Brenda Mohammed has added three more episodes, making it a four-episode novel.
The screenplay for Zeeka and the Zombies is a finalist in the 13Horror Screenplay Contest 2025.

Praise for this book
Zeeka and The Zombies' 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 humour, witty dialogue, and light-hearted interactions woven into the narrative, which made it a very entertaining read.
Best regards,
