Bradley is a necromancer who is terrified of death. He's working as a short-order cook at his uncle Bernie's burger joint when a chance meeting with a celebrity chef leads to an accidental zombie outbreak. Certain that he caused it, Bradley is forced to confront his capricious powers and leave the small town he's lived in all his life. With his mother and grandfather in tow, Bradley is in a cross-country race to track down Mannie Fuego and stop the zombie apocalypse. Witty, acerbic, and sarcastic as hell, this novella is packed to the gills with observations on modern life, the nature of celebrity, and intergenerational family dynamics. A modern twist on the classic coming of age tale, Mannie Fuego's Guide to Good Eats combines horror comedy with unflinching observations on modern life, social media, and how we grow up and out of dysfunctional family patterns.
