"Forever Zombie caught me by surprise. There is a sinister humor here reminiscent of Edward Gorey, and a playfulness that echoes Roald Dahl. It's a curious mix, but it works great. Trust me: whichever way your pleasure tends, whether it's a subtly placed bit of characterization or a deliciously plotted twist ending, you're going to find something to love here. Forever Zombie is a hit!"
--Joe McKinney, Dead City and Apocalypse of the Dead

Forever Zombie: A Collection of Undead Guy Tales

Every Death You Take

Grim_Reaperbg.jpg image by michelestpierreWhat happens when the Grim Reaper comes to collect a soul from the law offices of Romero, O’Bannon, Fulci & Flanders only to find that his guy seems to have died prematurely? Not only that, he appears to have risen from the ranks of the dead as a zombie! Leave it to the law firm's receptionist to explain things a little more clearly to the Grim Reaper.

All In The Family

It seems like another typical morning in the Harry and Helen Cooper household. Harry is trying to cope with the idea of his parents having to move into his now uncomfortably small home while Helen is trying to make sure the kids eat a proper breakfast and get off to school on time. Meanwhile, Harry's mom doesn't want to eat her breakfast and his father seems to be spending way too much time in the household's only bathroom. But there's a good reason...

Playmate

Chia doesn't play well with others. Maybe it's her upbringing. After all, her parents are one of the richest couples in the entire eastern United States. Although it seems her parents don't give Chia the time she deserves, (and they do not) they try as best they know how. Pet dogs and cats and birds haven't seem to have done the trick. And the neighbors have chosen to keep their own daughters safely away from the Dunlawton estate. Chia is a lonely little girl. But there's a new product on the market that Chia's mother can't resist presenting her daughter with.

The Good, The Bad and the Really, Really Ugly

There's a scary tale in the old west town of Bonanza Creek that only the locals believe. A local gunfighter, the Mud Creek Kid, has never lost a gunfight. Dozens of gunslingers travel for days to met the legendary Mud Creek Kid in the hopes that it will enhance their reputations. But so far, all it has resulted in were dozens of new graves up on Boot Hill. Can Jebediah Mercer, also known as "Lightning", bring down the town's legend? Settle in as old cowpokes Cletus and Kermit take their favorite seats on the front sidewalk of the saloon for the upcoming gun battle.

Home, Sweet, Home

It isn't always the smart thing to do to keep a love one locked up in your basement. One of the alternatives is a facility like the Rush Limbaugh Memorial Care Facility. But it's not cheap and Hank Farkle is having a hard time justifying the expense of placing his father-in-law in even the least expensive wings of the facility. But he loves his wife and it's so hard to say no. Besides, it's been kind of creepy having her father living in their basement watching cartoons all day long...

Special Delivery

Donny Meech hasn't been working at the Unified Package Service very long and he is already tired of his long route and endless schedule. It seems he is always the last out on his route and the last to come back in at night. Is it worth it? And now today he has a special delivery to the research lab in Terrace Heights that will make this Saturday one of the worst days of his life.

The Farmer's Daughter

The last few weeks of Rebecca Sunnybrook's life haven't been easy. Her finance was severely injured in a car accident, but she is finally bringing him home from the hospital. But how will Rebecca's father, the stern head of the Sunnybrook Farm, react to the news that his daughter is ready to marry her boyfriend? And can her beau, a former jazz musician with no farming experience, be a productive member of the family?

Hail to the Chief

It's one of the tightest presidential races in history and Donovan Broadhurst is doing his best to ensure his brother is elected the next President of the United States. And things seem to be going in the right direction. With only a few days before the race, they have narrowed the gap in the poll and are within striking distance. Will they pull it off?

The Oprah Book Club

Harlan Henderson is looking forward to a quiet evening upstairs watching Monday Night Football while his wife entertains the guests in her book club. He is not a fan of the type of books the club discusses and would rather be reading a good old Stephen King novel. But the first guest of the evening is an intriguing guy and Harlan takes a liking to  him. Maybe he can even entice the guy away from the book club and enjoy a few beers with him while they watch the game.

The Smell of Death

The former band members of Gary and the Brainblasters have been cooped up in for weeks now following the zombie outbreak. Food is running low and they have apparently run out of the new Johnson & Johnson Zombie Repellent which has proved to be highly effective in allowing humans to roam outside of their houses into the land of the undead. Can this motley crew come up with their own brand of zombie repellent before they starve to death or die of sheer boredom?

Ozark Hicks and Zombie Chicks

You just might be able to count the total of brain cells in this Ozark clan without even taking off you shoes. Of course, not that the clan can count that high even if they wore shoes. And there's a bit of a problem when the county revenue agents show up to destroy their still. But the problem escalates again with the arrival of the Dixie Chicks zombie motorcycle gang. So who do you think is smarter? The hillbilly clan or biker zombie chicks? Or is it just too close to call?

A Night at the Zombie Museum

Roger and Judy were determined to give their marriage one last chance, but the trip has not begun well. Not only are they lost somewhere in Tennessee, but are suddenly stuck in a ditch in a whale of a rain storm. Luckily (or maybe unluckily) , a state trooper gives them a ride to the Come On In Motel run by Kathy and Jim Bates. (Yes, it could have easily been named the Bates Motel...) With no TV reception for the night, the couple reluctantly take up an offer from their hosts to visit the Zombie Museum across the street. Maybe you'll enjoy the visit as well...

Max Blood, Zombie Hunter: A Story of the Zombie Apocalypse

Max’s mother always thought her son would grow up to be a doctor. His father had wishes for his son to be a lawyer. But the great zombie holocaust changed all that. Now they only wish he had a safe job like working at Taco Bell or even a somewhat safe job like working at 7-Eleven. Instead, Max has become a zombie hunter. But Max takes his job seriously. After all, there are people out there who need his services. There are people who would rather not have their dead (or is that undead) Uncle Fred dropping by for a visit. And that’s where Max and his crew come in. Track down Zombie Uncle Fred and deposit him at the nearest zombie interment camp. Of course, that’s not always as easy as it sounds. And now comes the added pressure of a huge corporation entering the zombie hunting business. Can Max and his crew stay in business? But the bigger question might be, why is the numbering of zombies increasing on the streets of New York City when the government says the zombie outbreak is under control?

Dark Moon Anthology #1: Zombies

A great collection of zombie short stories from both new and established authors.

The Zombie Chronicles - A History of the Undead

Available soon for the first time! The previously unreleased documents that government officials never wanted to see the light of day. Collected over a period of several years, these documents (many of them from the private collection of General Earl Montgomery Dodd) show dozens of government cover ups from the last two hundred years that prove the existence of the undead! Think the Great Chicago Fire was actually caused by Mrs. O'Leary's cow? Think again! A must have addition to your zombie collection right up there with Max Brook's Zombie Survival Guide.

My Boyfriend's A Zombie! /  My Girlfriend's A Zombie (Flip Book)

There's never been another zombie book quite like this one. Meet Amber Vanderkamp, senior at Jennifer Love Hewitt High School. Everything's wonderful in Amber's world. Not only is she head cheerleader, but homecoming week is here and she's sure to be crowned homecoming queen. That is until her boyfriend, Logan Thompson, dies and returns as a zombie. But she can't simply turn her back on the love of her life, can she? A quick moving, humurous romp through a world where zombies are simply a part of everyday life. But here's the added bonus... Meet Zack Logan, star quarterback of the Jennifer Love Hewitt state championship football team. And life is good. Until his girlfriend, Amber Vanderkamp is turned into a zombie. That's right. It's two! two! two books in one. Read this quirky story from Amber's viewpoint, then flip the book over and read it from Logan's. Sure to be an instant classic in the vein of Buffy the vampire slayer. You'll love (and perhaps recognize) the different ways the sexes deal with the problem of a loved one being dead... er, well, better make that undead!
