Spalding's Scary Shorts — Nick Spalding
Four tales of humour and horror from Nick Spalding, the bestselling author of the smash hit comedies Fat Chance & Love... From Both Sides.
Feedback: A Vampire Story
Be careful who you write about.
Keating the vampire used to love the stories that humans would write about his species. They had endlessly amused him. Madeline De Martine had changed all that though. From terrifying, bloodthirsty creatures of the night... to maudlin, effeminate idiots obsessed with adolescent American girls, De Martine's blockbuster romances had irrevocably ruined the image of the vampire as far as Keating was concerned. So tonight he's paying the multi-millionaire writer a visit to offer some constructive feedback, and show her the error of her ways...
Dogs Of War
Giving interactive gameplay a whole new meaning.
Disaster... Epic.Huge.Unmitigated.Disaster. Zack Hampton's beloved Gamestation console has just committed electronic suicide - right in the middle of a hectic multiplayer Dogs Of War game. Where the hell is he supposed to find another one the week before Christmas? All the shops have sold out! Imagine Zack's delight when he stumbles on a quaint Christmas shop, run by the enigmatic Mister Fix... and discovers a unique 'special edition' Gamestation on sale for a bargain price. Following a very strange conversation with the old shopkeeper, Zack buys the console and rushes home to rejoin the online mayhem as quickly as possible. This Gamestation is very special though, and Zack is about to take part in a game of Dogs Of War he is never going to forget.
I, Zombie
A story of the thinking dead.
'My name is Jim Monroe and I am a zombie. My natural life on this planet has ceased and I've been re-animated to stalk the world as a pale, grotesque imitation of my former self. I'm different from my undead brethren though... I'm a zombie with a brain. This is the short, shocking story of how I came to be this way.'
Spine Slaughter
When hedgehogs attack!
On a warm summer's day, the village of Wincing On Thames is attacked by the most unlikely of blood thirsty monsters. Hoards of deadly hedgehogs are on the loose, with a taste for human flesh. Can hockey stick wielding Jason, Scab the punk and their friends survive the onslaught? And what turned these normally placid little animals into creatures from the darkest of nightmares?
