Book description
Zombies are relentless, ravenous creatures, and their insatiable
appetite for living flesh has given author Mark McLaughlin plenty of
food for thought. In BEACH BLANKET ZOMBIE, you will sit down to a feast
of zombie stories -- seventeen in all.
Zombies can rise from the dead for countless reasons. Any
horror-movie enthusiastic can tell you that. Sure, a zombie's bite can
turn its victim into one of the living dead. But that's not all. In
films, corpses have been turned into zombies through voodoo, nuclear
power, viruses, parasites, Egyptian curses (if you count mummies as
zombies), toxic chemicals, the Black Mass, and more. In his stories,
McLaughlin explores many different ways to bring the dead back to life.
As you read these stories, you will learn about zombies created by
Internet witches, and discover the bizarre secrets of the isle of
Zovemba, also known as Zombie Island. And that's not all. To satisfy
your hunger for horror, McLaughlin has added sixteen stories about
other types of humanoid monstrosities. Fiends and freaks come in many
forms, and some of the very worst attempt to pass for people. In this
collection, you will such ghastly, pulse-pounding tales of the macabre
as "Beach Blanket Zombie," "Vulture Soup for the
Soulless," "The Agony of Claude Bawls," "Tears of
the Expressionist Aphrodite," "Cyber-Vengeance of the
Internet Witches," "ZOM BEE MOO VEE," "Tell Your
Secrets to the Slime," "The Bloody Woman and the Chameleon
Man, Also Known as Mom and Dad," "Hello! My Name is
Halja," "Notes Concerning the Death and/or Decomposition of
Reality," "The Tale Of The Cat-Headed Man, The Man-Headed
Dog, and the Lady With Rats For Hands," and many more.
