Cast your mind back to 2016 when WAYNE SIMMONS and I curated the YEAR OF THE ZOMBIE – 12 authors, 12 original zombie novellas. It was a huge success, with stories that took the living dead from Somalia to Wales, and from the post-apocalypse to the office Christmas party. The entire collection is now available as a very reasonably priced ebook and a beautiful door stop-sized paperback.
One of my favourite stories is LITTLE MONSTER by JAMES PLUMB. James, as you may recall, is a film-maker, and what happens when a film-maker writes a story? The answer’s pretty obvious – they inevitably go on to film it. That’s exactly what James has done, and the movie adaptation of his novella is now ready for public consumption.
Your six-year-old daughter has been bitten by a zombie and now hungers for human flesh.
What do you do?
Do you double tap her in the brain?
Or do you become the ultimate enabler and feed her human flesh?
And where do you get human flesh from?
This is the dilemma that Gareth and Jen face with their beautiful daughter Ana.
What will they do?
And how far will it go?
On 11 November I’ll be travelling to Cardiff to sit in the audience for the LITTLE MONSTER world premier, and I cannot wait. Tickets are available here. UPDATE – the screening has now sold out.
