William Kely McClung - Author, Director, Martial Artist
LOOP
"...a terrifying, visceral science fiction thriller that invades the psyche and never let's go."
Debbie Lynn Elias @ Behind the Lens
As a small college town becomes ground zero for a zombie-like plague, and the target of an even deadlier government cover-up, the fate of the town, and maybe the world, lies in the hands of a one-legged badass, a nearly naked Interpol agent, a retro-gaming genius, and the military scientist that started it all.
Racing against the clock while battling rogue military forces, a visionary AI pioneer with his own secret agenda, and the rapidly evolving Loopers and Infected, our band of misfit heroes fight for their lives and the very survival of the human race.
Inspired by real-world advances in facial recognition, artificial intelligence, and applied machine learning, forged into a viral apocalypse that spreads through social media. Award-Winning Film Director William Kely McClung’s LOOP is electric, prescient, and terrifying — an all too real look at the world when man creates what he can not possibly control.

From William Kely McClung
I move back and forth from screenplays to the novels, but first up,
BLACK FIRE – the first action thriller in the BLACK HEART TRILOGY.
The book and screenplay are written, and going through my extensive and final editing process now!
Ula, Jessie, and Bad Ass are challenging an apocalyptic future
in the middle of my newest novel of science fiction horror,
THE INFECTED, the terrifying follow up to LOOP.
And last, for now, is the super hero origin story, SUPER NINJA,
a story nearly thirty years in the making inspired by my over 50 years in martial arts and 30 years in film.

For an idea of Kely’s film work — you can check him out on IMDB
LOOP is an entire world — and like fuczm — encompasses a slice of Kely’s twisted imagination and interests. As a NOVEL, LOOP is a scary, fun tale that hints at the dark side of artificial intelligence and Mankind’s ability to create things we can’t control. Currently, the first novel is written and will be published soon. There is also a feature film screenplay, a series pilot script, a sequel in the works, and of course, the twisted concepts that became the exclusive NFT animations and LOOP Zombie Collector Cards.
While scholars have attributed to the work hidden meanings from political subversion to existential agony, Carroll maintained that it was intended simply as nonsense. “Just the place for a Snark! … Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice: What I tell you three times is true.”
I’m not sure yet! I’m exploring the idea of NFT’s, and or straight buys as printed art, so collecting them now is probably a good idea before the movie is made and they are folded into that marketing. If you are interested, feel free to contact me through this website’s contact page, and reference the zombie cards. I’m sure we can work something out!
