Motorcycle gang and zombies — The Meat Wagon
They are a brutal, outlaw motorcycle gang. She is a single parent working the night shift at a petrol station. Together they battle through hordes of flesh eating ghouls to claim the ultimate prize. When civilisation comes to an end, the Warhogs motorcycle gang are too busy partying to notice. But after their weekend of drink and drugs fuelled debauchery is over they find themselves in a world gone mad. Never having had anything but contempt for the law in their previous life, they embrace their new situation and are ready to take full advantage of it. Holing up in a fenced off industrial estate near Shefferham, it’s not long before they turn their thoughts to the nearby Meadowside shopping centre and all the treasure it contains – enough food and consumer goods for them to live in complete luxury for the rest of their lives. But with five men and only one woman between them, there are more pressing needs to sort out first... Bonus second feature: Simon Goes Shopping ... with a baseball bat! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006PJFOAQ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006PJFOAQ Samples from both stories here: https://sites.google.com/site/marcusblakeston Last edited by mr ploppy; 05-10-2012 at 11:40 AM. |

I've had some editing work done on it, you'll need to request a new version from Amazon, or PM me an email address and I'll send you one. The main difference is the Simon sub-plot has been separated out into its own story instead of interspersed amid the biker plot. It also starts with Lynn in the petrol station, I dropped the flash-forward prologue where they kill the policeman, that's going to be reworked/expanded into a standalone short story.

Also on Barnes & Noble:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-...=2940032960188 But the short story featuring some of the characters, A.C.A.B., is mysteriously missing. You can get that for free from Feedbooks instead: http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/25455/a-c-a-b |

Half price on Smashwords for a while. $1.50 if you use the code SSW50 (about a quid in real money).

"Pulpy, exploitative and with grisly scenes that hit like a socket wrench to the skull; if you enjoy your zombie-lit a little gritty and nasty, you could find a lot of gruesome entertainment between these pages."

Someone put it at number 9 in their 10 favourite horror books this year (presumably books written by unknown writers?)
