Publisher's summary

Zombies…

Sometimes they rise from the grave, hungering for human flesh…

Sometimes they’re created by a mad scientist intent on forming an unstoppable army of the undead…

Sometimes the zombie plague is transmitted by a horrific virus…

And sometimes, they’re resurrected in front of millions of viewers as part of a live primetime television special.

This novel is the tale of Stanley Dabernath, zombie. A regular guy who dies, is brought back to life as a ghastly walking cadaver, and becomes the international sensation hailed by the press as The Amazing Mr. Corpse. Fame! Wealth! Groupies! Despite his ghoulish appearance, Stanley finds himself living the dream.

But in many ways, it’s harder to be a celebrity than a zombie. The suits behind Project Second Chance want to tell him how to behave in public. It’s difficult to enjoy a simple restaurant meal in peace. There’s constant pressure coming at him from all sides—not to mention that many people consider him a vile blasphemy that should be erased from existence.

And does Project Second Chance have Stanley’s best interests in mind, or is the real reason behind his reanimation something much more...sinister?

Critic reviews

“Those expecting the typical apocalyptic world full of flesh eating corpses will quickly realize they are in for a different treat altogether. For those familiar with Mr. Strand’s popular Andrew Mayhem novels, take the witty banter, sharp one liners and laugh out loud moments, then turn it up a notch or three.” (Horror World)

Completely different take on the zombie story

Once again strand does what strand does best. If you like a good zombie story and you like comedic horror then you should definitely check it out. This is not your typical zombie apocalypse story line there is no apocalypse so if that’s what you’re looking for you won’t find it here. This is just the hilarious story of one man’s life who at random was chosen to be their experiment and cash cow after his accidental death and him trying to find his way and adjust to his new undead life.

Another Strand Masterpiece

The storyline is weird and just on this side of believable. The characters are well thought out and fun. I love Strand and I’ll buy whatever he writes so if you like his style then check this out.

A story only Strand can come up with

A story that can only come from Jeff Strand! Perfectly weird, over the top and yet down to earth. Didn’t care much for the narrator, sounded like an AI reading back every single word as a sentence sometimes. But I enjoyed the story enough to finish it.
