Speaking of pastiche and probably OT enough to get me a lecture, I also enjoyed Booster and Reeves by Troy Blackford. It's really stupid. And yet, and yet...hilarious. We did it as a forced buddy ready (I had to coerce some poor innocent reader of my blog to read it too because I was pretty sure it was stupid. But I enjoyed it anyway so yanno. It is only fair to drag others down with you.) It's a spoof on the Jeeves and what is the other guy Wooster?--The British mystery series. AND a spoof on zombies at the same time.

It's exactly the kind of stuff indies can play with in a world without gatekeepers.
It may not get you a 300 acre estate in maine but it'll find an audience.

And it sounds like fun...
