  • TV Script writer Larry Baker is hired to pen a new horror series. On location at an old castle he crashes through walls with the ease of Superman - and somehow usually lands plunk in the middle of a lovely lady's bed. But Larry isn;t really a sex maniac. Not quite. Even though the black-haired babe calls him seducer and the gamin-type blonde screams bloody murder... When you're up against real live vampires, disappearing corpses, things that go bump in the night... plus a couple of gorgeously undressed gals guaranteed to drive you up the wall - something's got to give - and it does - with plenty of happy horrible hilarity...
  • Back from the dead…and back on the case! Even being murdered doesn't keep a good detective down - and in the Unnatural Quarter - inhabited by ghosts, vampires, werewolves, mummies and all sorts of creatures that go bump (or thud) in the night - a zombie P.I. fits right in. Dan Chambeaux, a.k.a. "Shamble," solves a string of madcap cases with his ghost girlfriend Sheyenne, his Best Human Friend Officer Toby McGoohan, and his firebrand lawyer partner Robin Deyer.  Here's seven cases from the files of Chambeaux and Deyer Investigations.  Shamble has to solve the mystery of a stolen deck of fortune-telling cards and the undeath-defying feats of a vampire trapeze artist; finds himself sealed in a coffin in the back of a truck with no idea where he's being taken; and is even hired by Santa Claus to find his lost "naughty and nice" list. Being trapped in an unbreakable monster-proof crypt, deciphering a string of mysterious zombie graffiti, investigating the murder of a costumed fan at a science fiction convention where the monsters are the normal attendees or tracking down a kidnapped hell-hound for legendary vigilante werewolf cop Hairy Harry - it's all in a day's work for Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. Although this book is classified as teen fiction, there's plenty in it for adults prone to fits of silly humour. Cover art by Jeff Herndon.
