Told from the perspective of the sluggish employee of a "Zombie Bed & Breakfast" tourist trap, this horrific love letter, and middle finger, from the zombie capital of the world, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, chronicles the daily workings of a staged zombie assault and the rehearsal of an end-of-the-world scenario. The question of whether the cast are really attacking hotel guests, who is dead, alive, or just annoying as hell is answered in a satisfyingly gruesome manner, sparked by an undead love triangle and a tipping point of post-modern, pop-culture references. Trivia note: Author David James Keaton first attempted to finance and run a Zombie Bed & Breakfast similar to the tragedy depicted here. However, this misguided get-rich-quick scheme ended in disaster. So read this thinly veiled, fictionalized account of one tiny apocalypse, and do not let those poor souls dine in vain. (also includes the utterly irresponsible "Send More Paramedics: The Zombie Movie Drinking Game," which you can play while you read, drink, drive, and die, over and over again!)

David James Keaton received his MFA from the University of Pittsburgh and was the co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of Flywheel Magazine. His first collection of fiction, FISH BITES COP! Stories To Bash Authorities, was named the 2014 Short Story Collection of the Year by This Is Horror and a finalist for the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award. Kirkus spotlighted his debut novel, THE LAST PROJECTOR, calling it "rapidly paced and loaded with humor... a loopy, appealing mix of popular culture and thoroughly crazy people." His second collection of fiction, STEALING PROPELLER HATS FROM THE DEAD, received a Starred Review from Publishers Weekly, who said, "The author's joy in his subject matter is obvious, often expressed with a sly wink and a wicked smile. Decay, both existential and physical, has never looked so good.” His most recent novel, HEAD CLEANER, was recommended by Booklist and Library Journal, who called it "light and breezy with dark undercurrents that keep the reader off-kilter" as well as "great fun." He also teaches composition and creative writing at Santa Clara University in California.
