About this ebook

A lowly supermarket shelf stacker chokes to death on a peanut during a zombie outbreak, and is rather disappointed to learn he still has to go into work the next day.

To make matters worse, his flat mate wants to bury him, his boss wants to replace him, and his mum has dug up his dad and run off to Vegas to spend his inheritance.

Death's not all it's cracked up to be in this darkly comic short story.

Ratings and reviews

Sorry, but I found it kind of humdrum. I didn't mind that there was no gore, but for me there was no action at all! It just kind of... dragged along. (Pun thoroughly intended, lol).

Short zombie goodness.

About the author

David Hailwood used to write whilst hanging upside-down by his legs, from a tree. Now he's an adult he's apparently not allowed to do that sort of thing any more, so instead he sits at home in his office, cackling manically at his computer (occasionally he remembers to switch it on).

With over twenty years experience working in the UK comics market, his brain matter has leaked onto the pages of numerous comic anthologies, including Egmont's best selling children's comic 'Toxic'. He also edits the popular sci-fi comic anthology '100% Biodegradable'.

He was written comedy material for the BBC, ITV and E4, and once starred in a short comedy horror film titled 'Attack Of The Mutant Sock Freaks', in which a bunch of deranged killer mutant socks attempt to destroy Bognor Regis.
