Chuck T-Bone is a private detective—A P.I. A gumshoe. A dick.
He also happens to be a zombie, in a world where the zombies have taken over, and “fresh meat” is a rare commodity. Where you go into a diner to order an elbow joint with a side of toes. But nothing’s really changed—the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, at least until they fall apart altogether.
When a curvaceous member of a famous crime family walks into his office, he’s forced to reopen a case he’d just as soon forget. It’s the one that introduced him to the dame who stole his heart—and got him killed. Trouble is, if it happens again, this time it’s for good.
It’s gory goodness for fans of The Big Sleep and Shaun of the Dead, with a dash of Zombieland thrown in for good measure.
“A fun, hard-boiled zombie story with tongue firmly planted in rotted cheek, A Man’s Gotta Eat is perfect for Halloween.” Stephen Blackmoore, author of Dead Things
“L.A. is a mighty strange place, but it’s even stranger when seen through the eyes of the dead; and that’s just what Dana Fredsti’s done for us in A Man’s Gotta Eat What a Man’s Gotta Eat. Fredsti’s humor, her dark, dark humor, is on fine display in this zombie noir novella featuring a private detective with a healthy appetite for revenge. There were times I nearly split my sides with laughter, and others I just sat there shaking my head in stunned appreciation for Fredsti’s storytelling talents. Sometimes I found myself doing both at the same time. This is a writer who knows her craft. Read this and tell me you don’t agree. I dare you!” Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Savage Dead and Dead City Dana Fredsti’s A Man’s Gotta Eat What a Man’s Gotta Eat is a wickedly entertaining serving of zombie noir. With this novella, Fredsti had created a blood-and-guts stew of humorous hardboiled horror that will make you laugh and cringe at the same time. Don’t miss it!” Tim Waggoner, author of the Nekropolis series
