Have you wondered just what practical things you can actually do with a zombie? How about some great zombie beauty tips for keeping undead flesh looking fresh and pretty. "Spaztastic Zombies" may be just for you – a collection of humour that exposes how much fun zombies can really be and tickles your funny bone, instead of chewing on it. Zombies can provide serious comic relief. A little zombie humour can go a long way to brightening your day and making your zombie apocalypse a little more cheerful and bearable



Very humorous read!!!


I found it to be a very entertaining read. Who would’ve thought that Zombies could be used around the house or to help fix a car.



Everyone wanting to survive the next Zombie Apocalypse should defiantly get a copy of this book. It tells you what weapons work best for killing a Zombie right through to looking good while surviving.



4/5



Creepy Bits



Creepy things happen at night...and other times. Are you looking for stories to put a tingle in your spine or make you wonder what those strange noises you are hearing might be? Read "Creepy Bits" -- a collection of three flash fiction pieces and one hairy poem that might make you want to leave the lights on.

Read "Creepy Bits" -- three short stories that are perfectly suited for dark nights.
What would you do if you woke up in the middle of the night to hear strange thumping outside of your home? What if the noises came inside? Read more in "Thing That Go Thump in the Night."
What is justice for a two-bit punk who preys on an old woman? Find out in the micro-fiction piece "Puttin' on the Dog."
If you wonder what the face of revenge looks like, read "Smiling Mary" and find out.
Sometimes dreams seem very real and it can be difficult to tell the difference. Read "Werewolf" and decide for yourself.



These are really great!! They’d be good read out around a campfire. The crackling of the fire would really intensify the stories.



Morris had me thinking after each of the short stories. They really did get my brain ticking over. The more I thought about the stories, the more I ended up wondering about them. You think you know what happens then all of a sudden it all changes at the end.

Life is as normal as she believes it to be, apart from the deep ache inside her, telling her she’s different. For years, Kiera had dreams where she ventures into a different reality. She’s not alone; a presence is always there, keeping her safe, yet she feels vulnerable, and hunted.

Zakk, Prince of Zantar, is under the Witch Queen’s spell as she tries to take over his world. He crosses paths with Kiera, and their fates are entwined.

As their journey unravels, she learns that she is not the only one affected by this prince. Who is on her side? Will she find out why she has been chosen? How can someone so young, defeat such evil? Will she find the strength to save the ones closest to her? Will this be Kiera’s only Quest?



Such a beautiful and heartfelt story.

Kristy has written such an amazing story for both young readers and young adults. This story suited both ages for many reasons. The fact that Zakk comes to Kiera as a doll and he retaionship they develop really suits everyone. It’s like a transition, like being a tween. The inbetween stage of not being a child and not yet an adult.



Life for Kiera was made hard because of Zakk being a doll. I really felt that this story helps young people see what life is about and how growing up brings changes and it makes us realise we can still hold onto our childhood in our own ways. It made me realise how as we grow up people will pick on others who are not yet at the same stage we are in life.



This story has so much meaning and I really recommend that any young person should read this.



I can’t wait to see what Kristy has install for both Kiera and Zakk in the next instalment.

5/5
