Call for help
Ten days ago I posted the start of my novella, with a vague promise of 'more to follow'. A few people in my life(well... 3) have heard further details. Now I'm filling the rest of you in.
I have written three short stories about zombies, each with an unusual bent. The first, as you have seen, is about zombies attacking a man and his burgular. The second sees two humans and a zombie shipwrecked. And the last is a discussion between two zombies - one of whom is having marriage problems.
There are still a couple of drafts of each tale left to do, but I plan to pretty soon print a short run(say fifty or so) and sell them(for around a quid or two)1.
I have a problem, however. I have titles for the last two stories, both of which are based around zombie puns. The second story is called "Desert Island Deadite"(one for the 'Evil Dead' fans) whilst the last is called "Un-dead, not un-wed". I can't think of a title for the first story though.
Which is why I'm asking you guys for help - wanna think of a sorta-funny title for me, that relates both to zombies and the plot of the story(a break-in). The lucky commenter will of course be thanked in the acknowledgments and receive a free copy of the book.
So get to it - leave your suggestions in the comments section of this post!
1 - Two things might seem ridiculous to some readers. a) That I would think 50 people would want copies and b) that they would be prepared to pay money for them. Believe me - 50 is a very small number, and demand will actually outstrip supply. Which is kind of the point. Also, it's not like I'm charging to make a profit on these - I will definitely lose money(printing stuff nice is expensive, yo), I just want to assign value to the product, psychologically speaking.
Oh, and I definitely have plans for two follow-ups, focusing on vampires and then clowns. Because clowns are just as scary as zombies and vampires. You know I speak truth.
