Candy for Christmas
The holidays are looking bright for an irresponsible, sophisticated Englishman named Timothy who falls in love with an attractive, unpretentious American woman named Candy. She responds warmly when he turns over a new leaf and finds steady employment. The Yuletide romance takes a serious blow, however, when he learns Candy has a homicidal husband who has just escaped from prison and is likely headed their way. Timothy runs the risk of losing both Candy and his life in this frighteningly funny Christmas tale.

Mom and Dad Aren't Getting Along
Teddy's teen years were bound to be affected when his mom returned from the supermarket infected by a zombie bite. Dad immediately insisted he and his wife sleep in separate bedrooms. Mom silenced a complaining neighbor by eating him. Then there was the unfortunate Avon Lady incident.
Family harmony hit a new low, however, when Mom discovered Dad's new girlfriend and became one really unhappy zombie. Teddy's doing his best to keep the family together, but it's getting tougher all the time. What's a teenager to do? A humorous horror short from our Spectres line.

It's hard enough being a teen without having to deal with the family issues of mom being a zombie. Now, Dad's wanting separate bedrooms, Mom has a tendency to nibble on neighbors, and Teddy doesn't know what to do. Maybe a trip to the beach is in order?
This is a short story featuring zombies and is a fun, quick read. I really enjoyed it and would love to see more by Garry McNulty.
Eric and Derik
In the 1980's Bill and Ted set the bar for clueless teenage boys achieving the impossible. After their adventures, you'd think future young men would reach great new heights.
Unfortunately, it didn't quite turn out that way.
Meet Eric and Derik, two clones who spend their teenage years locked in a house playing video games and watching MTV. Everything they know about the world they've learned from television. Their only goal is to become rock stars and get girls to fall in love with them.
So, when their creator suddenly drops dead one afternoon, the two boys find themselves facing a world they're not quite prepared for. What do you do when the housekeeper wants you out, a local reverend wants you burned for being an abomination and your family attorney doesn't want to be bothered? You get the lawyer to relocate you to sunny California to soak up some rays and become big in the music industry.
Alas, even the best laid plans can go awry. With an angry mob on their tail and not a single idea how to live their lives or achieve their goals, only one question remains.
Can two clueless clones avoid persecution, find the women of their dreams and become rock stars?
