In 1887,
history changed course. A new Plague turned the infected into flesh-eating
monsters and bound the population to overcrowded cities. The rapid advance in
technology creates opportunities for the rich, but also helps to spread new
social ideas which  challenge traditional Victorian morality. These are
the stories of gentlemen, prostitutes, treasure hunters, soldiers and so many
others who struggle to find love within the walls of a rotting city

Off with Their
Heads!

K. A. Merikan

 

 

It’s 1907, twenty years after the
outbreak of a zombie Plague. For a young student of medicine like Clint, the
undead bodies provide an opportunity to study human physiology in the working.
He is a good young man: tidy, well-mannered and hard working. Focused on his
goal to become an excellent surgeon, Clint has a bright future ahead of him. If
it weren’t for a shameful secret he’s forced to keep, his life would have been
perfect.

 

Xavier, a peculiar foreigner he
finds in the morgue late at night, claims to be an assistant to one of Clint’s
professors, but doesn’t know the first thing about the proper way to behead
zombies. Xavier’s story has many loose ends, but something about him unlocks
all the emotions Clint always kept bottled up inside. When he learns the truth
about Xavier, Clint finds himself involved in a conspiracy that could destroy
everything he’s worked so hard for. Frightened by the possible consequences,
yet strangely fascinated by the eccentric, tattooed stranger, Clint follows him
to places he would never dare explore on his own.

 

“Off with Their Heads!” is a
standalone book set in the “Zombie Gentlemen” universe.
