2009

Forever Zombie: A
Collection of Undead Guy Tales right now! Check out
Every
Death You Take, just one of the many tales in this anthology.
Celebrity party girl Amanda Feral is back from the
dead, and hungrier than ever for a good time. With her zombie gal pal
Wendy and vampy gay sidekick Gil, this stone cold fox is dressed to
kill, on the prowl, and ready to take a big juicy bite out of
Seattle's supernatural nightlife. But what's a zombie chick to do when
her 'Mommie Dearest' gets sick? If you're Amanda Feral, you can either
ignore the wicked old witch - or bury the past by visiting Ethel
before she kicks it. Amanda's not thrilled about the idea of crossing
three states just to be criticized. But Wendy, who's always looking
for fresh meat, is up for the adventure. And Gil, who just launched
his 'luxury' resurrection business, needs to disappear because a
pissed-off client is out for his blood. First, they pack their
stiletto pumps and plasma into a skeevy rattrap on wheels that used to
be a Winnebago. Then, with a little help from a Korean-ghost hood
ornament, a masochist named Fishhook, and a slew of 'moderately
accurate' psychics, they hit the highway - their way. Of course,
they'll have to navigate past some neo-Nazi skinheads, a horny dust
devil, a hunky werewolf cop (who could pass for an underwear model)
and an unsightly horde of supermarket shoppers. But for this glamorous
gang of ghouls this trip is about to take a dangerous detour that
could give road kill a brand new meaning.
