Yes Mother, No Mother, Die Mother! and Other Nightmares

by Graeme Thomas

Something horror for all tastes with this collection of short stories. For your 99c, or whatever the rate is in your own currency, you’re getting a novella, an extensive guide to getting naked with the undead once the zombie apocalypse occurs – you know that day is coming! – and a bunch of short stories taking in everything from fallen angels, cannibalism, and a murderous Santa Claus. How can you go wrong, all this for less than the price of the Styrofoam cup your awful coffee comes in? Yes Mother, No Mother, Die Norman Tate, perpetually in fear of his Mother's domineering presence and acidic tongue. He loves his Mother, he also dreams of murdering her. Norman "Normanhole No-mates" Tate (Why Normanhole? Because he smells like a f***ing sewer!), bullied and outcast for his entire life. He's never had a girlfriend, he's never had a friend, his isolation and Mother's vitriol is all he knows and all he's ever known. Bullied, abused, broken, but even the most timid of dogs will bite if only it's kicked hard and often enough. Change is coming to Norman's world, and bloody death comes with it. Sex With The world as we know it has ended, the zombie holocaust is upon us. Normal people are looking to stay alive but, repugnant loner that you are, you’re looking to get down and dirty with one of the walking dead. There’s a self help manual for everything else these days, so why not one for the pervert seeking sexual adventures with the shambling dead after Z-Day shatters society.
