It's the end of the world and people are being eaten, but the bond between a brother and sisters stronger than ever. Well done. ”

- Cole Hunter Dzubak:20 Apr. 2022“ Lindsay Partain has a fantastic grip on the world of horror and suspense. What makes this piece so fantastic is the world building, in a few pages Partain gives you every hint you need to know of what exactly is going on and what state of mind these characters are in. This reminds me of being in middle school watching the walking dead. Fantastic work! ”
- Andrew Martineau:15 Jul. 2021“ What drew me into this apocalyptic world of sheer terror were the memories of joy that cannot be revisited: the blackberries, the warm sun. This play is layered with human moments of true love between a brother and sister, and the ending is heartbreakingly raw and real. I would love to see this staged. ”
- Shaun Leisher:3 Feb. 2021“ These are the moments we don't often get to see in stories about the zombie apocalypse and when we do it's never with this much heart. ”
- Asher Wyndham:28 Jun. 2018“ No zombies attack in this play, they're outside the storage container, but it's still a frightening read. Because you know at any moment something could happen -- and you know something terrible is going to happen after the play. The tenderness and sweetness between siblings, the images of visions and memories, the narrative power of this horror play is what sets it a part from many other horror short plays. This would be a perfect addition to any Halloween Play Festival. I would love to read a zombie full-length by Partain! ”
- Rachel Bublitz:13 Apr. 2018“ Vivid world and characters created in such a small space and time. THE PINK STUFF is filled with terrifying lines like "The three of us- we were home. The sun was alive." which pulls you right in to this horrifying world Partain has created. And while the horror is spot on, there's also a heartbreaking brother/sister relationship as well. Damn those zombies! ”
- Rachael Carnes:4 Apr. 2018“ Wowza! I love it when in just ten short pages I am completely transported into a different realm of time and place. Writer Partain not only delivers a satisfyingly grim story arc, but carries it out with two sympathetic and multidimensional characters. This taut, remarkable play is imagistic and clever without veering too far from reality. Is this now? Is this the future? This is right where it needs to be. Can't wait to read more of this writer's work. What a treat. ”
