You don’t have to be alive to be famous.

And even the un-dead can be stars – for one terrifying night.

Barry Arctic always wanted to be a famous. He knew he’d be good at it. It was just the talent he had a problem with – but that hadn’t stopped plenty of others succeeding.

After repeated auditions for the X Factor, Barry finally gets the break he feels he’s always deserved.

He’s on the path to stardom.

Except that his next show happens to coincide with a Zombie attack.

But Barry won’t let that stop him. Nothing – not even death itself – will stand between him and his dream.

In this hyper-gruesome, sick and twisted but enormously fun short read, Stewart King tells the story of what happens when a celebrity wannabe gets the immortality he craves as well as an insatiable taste for human flesh.

A blackly humorous and gore-soaked novella that doesn’t pull any punches but rams its message about the fame phenomenon through the ribcage of the reader, this the first of a series of quick-fix, satisfyingly meaty bites of extreme horror fiction from Stewart King that will more than satiate fans of the genre. You have been warned.
