Undead Flowers is a series of short stories about a bloke named Joe.

He lives in a town called Three Sisters; a town where vampires, werewolves, ghosts and ghouls can live without fear of persecution. The Undead love to buy flowers and that’s why he opened up a florists specially to cater for them, Undead Flowers.

I planned Undead Flowers to be a series of ten short stories which would have an overarching story arc about the Living finding out that the Undead lived here and then setting up a crusade to destroy them all. In the end, I only wrote the first six stories. But they’re pretty darned good! And each story stands on its own two legs.

Each story was serialised in twelve parts and you can read them all here. In fact–dammit!–you should read them because they’re really good!

So, here are links to each of the stories:

• Crusaders
• To the Bone
• Things you Read in Books
• The Exploding Boy
• Silent Graves
• One of our Cadavers is Missing

Oh did I mention that I didn’t quite finish One of Our Cadavers is Missing? If you want to know what happens in the end, email me (at undeadflowers at gmail) and I’ll let you know.

I’ve no plans on writing the remaining four stories right now. They see not only the exciting attack on Three Sisters, but we also find out about Joe’s mysterious background and horrible things happen to the nice old man who lives in the big old house. The remaining four stories are called:

• Bonehead
• Permanent Daylight
• Flesh and Blood
• Night of the Living People

Of course, if I don’t write about it, then you’ll never find out what happens to the love triangle between Joe, Brianna and Hermione! Nor will you ever find out about the talking Venus Fly Trap!

If you’re interested, please feel free to email me (that’s undeadflowers at gmail, if you’ve already forgotten).

I have plenty of other projects up my sleeve that you should keep your eyes out for. Two of the best include:

• Yellow Fever and other nasty diseases
• Lots and lots and lots of blasphemy!

Really, what more could you ask for?

Finally, I just want to thank all of you who’ve read Undead Flowers over the years. Every single one of you who has commented, sent me an email or written a review has been of great help to me: I’ve learned a great deal from you all. Thanks!
