A few weeks back I mentioned that the INFECTED BOOKS YEAR OF THE ZOMBIE collection from 2016 would be disappearing from the shelves at the end of 2024. In order to mark the passing of the series, I’ve made the final novella – LAST CHRISTMAS by WAYNE SIMMONS and I – free to download for the next few days. Wayne and I had such a blast writing this one, channelling DIE HARD, the living dead, and all the dodgy seasonal references we could think of into a bloody, pulpy Christmas tale. Enjoy!
The Office Christmas Party can be a nightmare at the best of times but when it coincides with the end of the world, things get even messier.
For mild-mannered security guard Howard Stanton, this was meant to be an easy shift. A chance to keep his head down and watch Die Hard movies while the rest of the staff get wasted. But then the zombie apocalypse happened and people expected him to do something about it. Was that even in his job description?
It’s going to be a long drink- and drug-fuelled night. The world’s going to hell and it’s down to Howard to hold it all together. He’s in charge tonight, and if he screws up, it’ll be everyone’s last Christmas.
“Who’d have thought it? Comedy horror from us two miserable sods!” —Wayne Simmons, author of Plastic Jesus and Flu
“Wayne, do you think we’ve gone too far?” —David Moody, author of Autumn and Hater
