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.
