Dark Comedy Horror Fiction

It would be easier for Thomas Mullen to move on from what he'd seen if Sarah stopped calling. It would be even better if she stopped appearing to him, and only him, to remind him of what he was powerless to stop. But months later, after Thomas loses his phone and the random woman who recovers it arranges to return it to him, his predicament intensifies. This woman tells him that while she's had his phone, his mother has called. His mother really needs him to call her back. And who is Sarah?

After a terrible prank gone wrong, three young men, Topher, Michael, and Kenneth find themselves at Raleigh's Prep, a juvenile detention center for the delinquent children of the fantastically rich. Basically, juvie for rich kids. The boys think they're going to serve out their time, finish their education, but then, three weeks into their term, they find a mangled body on the practice fields.

Imagine James and the Giant Peach, only instead of a giant peach it's a genetic abomination, an unholy hulk of agonized flesh that should not be...and instead of a small boy sharing a jolly adventure with a group of anthropomorphic insects, there is a mindless killing machine on a nightmare voyage through an ecological hell with a group of horrifying freaks! Torture in the name of science! A plastic island inhabited by mutant sea monkeys! Pollution kaiju! A retelling of a beloved children's classic sure to have the original author spinning in his grave!

Brightness Falls isn't just the name of the TV show that womanizing man-child Andrew Ware has been painstakingly creating for the last couple years, it's also his hometown.

A few drinks and few compliments later the woman is dead, killed in a tragic oral sex accident.

Road Kills is a collection of short tales of dark comic horror from the mind of Isaac Thorne. These stories are all connected to travel, to the road. After all, it is always lurking there, quiet and dark, just waiting for you to come out for a drive or a walk or a jog.

Zombie expert Scott Kenemore (The Zen of Zombie) unearths a collection of top-secret lost documents from WWII (originally intercepted by the U.S. Signal Corps in 1941 and presented to Franklin Roosevelt in a confidential memorandum), describing efforts of the Nazi Sicherheitsdienst (or SD) to harness and weaponize Haitian Voodoo and zombie-creating technologies for military purposes.

Los Angeles and Lucifer are a lot alike. They both seduce and lure with promises of wealth, fame, beauty, or love. But those promises are often empty; and even when they’re not, there’s a price to pay.

A dark bizarro tale, a disturbing peek into the world of gainers and feeders; grotesquely obese individuals and the people who facilitate their growth for the lascivious pleasure of both parties. Join our heroine in a fantastical journey to discover the unnerving and grotesque secrets which lay behind the Feeder's nefarious schemes....

Do you believe in fate? What if your fate was actually determined by something small - something like, what counter you used in a game of Monopoly? Troy Thompson is a former F1 driver who now drives taxis (because he missed the high speeds and risk taking) and used to be the little pewter car when he played Monopoly with five others back at the Silver Sands Caravan Park in Whitley Bay, in 1985. Now, 25 years later, the six friends are drawn back to the camp by something - something ethereal, something dark. Does it have something to do with fate? Kismet? Yoga? The friends' old Ouija board?

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Hell - the Raisining!

Eigentlich haben wir nur eine Person gesucht und am Ende drei gefunden. Doch wie soll es jetzt weitergehen? Diese neue Welt ist nicht für jeden gemacht und manche brauchen mehr Schutz als andere.

Haben uns wirklich Zombies gerettet? Abgesehen davon warten noch viele weitere Überraschungen auf mich. Unsere Retter sind nicht irgendjemand, sondern... das sage ich jetzt natürlich nicht! Dazu kommen noch schwierige Entscheidungen, ein paar Todesfälle und ein DVD Abend. Die alltägliche Apokalypse eben.

Weihnachten und unter dem Tannenbaum liegen... nein, ich sage es besser nicht. So schlimm ist es auch gar nicht. Aber klar, so habe ich es mir definitiv niemals vorgestellt: in einem fremden Haus und mit eigentlich mit fremden Leuten, wovon sogar ein paar Zombies sind. Klingt wie aus einem richtig schrägen Film. Zusätzlich wird mein ganzes Weltbild auf den Kopf gestellt. Zombies sind wirklich nicht gleich Zombies. Nicht einmal die, von denen ich es dachte.

Wer hätte zu Beginn der Apokalypse damit rechnen können? Zugegeben, ich bin wahnsinnig neugierig auf sie. Doch zuerst muss die Rettung gelingen. Danach heißt es nichts wie weg von hier. Werden wir je wieder in Sicherheit sein?

Sprechende Zombies und ein nerviger Boss halten unsere Hauptfiguren auf Trab. Können sie endlich hinter das Geheimnis der Stadt kommen? Und wo bekommen sie noch mehr Kaffee her? Dazu kommt auch noch ein harter Rückschlag.

Schöne neue Welt oder doch die Hölle auf Erden? Unsere Gruppe lebt sich langsam ein, aber nicht alles verläuft nach Plan. Auch Dates und gratis Kaffee können einen nicht über die Geheimnisse hinwegsehen lassen. Am Ende zählt nur eins: Zombies sind auch nur Menschen.

Die Apokalypse ist nah! Gepaart wird sie mit einem neuen Haarschnitt, einem Ausflug ins Möbelhaus und natürlich Klopapier. Unsere Gruppe beginnt ihre Jobs und neue Bekanntschaften werden geschlossen.
