It’s Me, Hi, I’m the Zombie, it’s Me
"Talk about serendipity. Weird twists of fate. In whatever bizarro world that had materialized since I woke up this morning, glitter, fuc*ing glitter, was the zombies’ Achilles heel."
With a seamless and witty blend of suspense, emotion, and humor, It’s Me, Hi, I’m the Zombie, it’s Me is a refreshingly unique take on the zombie genre. N.J. Gallegos's vivid prose and well-crafted characters draw you in from the first page, immersing you in a world where friendship and resilience shine even in the darkest of times.
Follow the gripping tale of Frankie, Alex, Drew, and Theo as they navigate not only the horrors of the undead but also the intricacies of their own evolving relationships. Amidst the chaos, the characters find solace and inspiration in the music of Taylor Swift, creating a poignant connection that adds depth and emotion to their fight for survival.
Another horror-comedy gem from N.J. Gallegos.
A Barbenheimerian delight.
"Blood! Guts! Glitter! Humor and extreme horror meet head-on in this riotous tale of zombies and clashing fandoms. The apocalypse has never been so much fun!" – Bram Stoker Award-Winning author Tim Waggoner
"Wonder what happens when thousands of Swifties come running headlong at hundreds of horror writers in the Steel City, Hell with the Lid Off? 'Course you do. ZOMBIE OUTBREAK. This is not a drill. These things really happen, if only in Pittsburgh. Desperate romance. Gruesome delights. Karma dance the night away or battle for your life? Take it from someone who was there: we came together and made peace to shred zombie butt. We're the survivors and this is our tale." - Bram Stoker Award Nominee author Douglas Gwilym

Does a stunning job of capturing the endless real-life hilarity of being at StokerCon 2023 in a hotel packed with Swifties, while also delivering a fun zombie romp with enough violence and gore to sate a hungry ghoul. A must-read for everybody who was at the con, but absolutely worth your time for everybody else.

"I too got eaten but in the best way possible."
This is another banger of a novella from NJ Gallegos. It had me feeling John Hughes and George Romero. Breakfast Club meets Dawn of the Dead. Great stuff, but now I'm feeling strangely hungry and sparkly.
