Right Off A Cliff

This exciting and bloodthirsty story tells of the sour and stingy Ebenezer Scrooge and his epic journey of transformation and redemption, brought about by a plague of ravenous zombies. After the supernatural visitations of the long-dead Jacob Marley, himself killed by zombies and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Yet to Come he comes to realize that he is London's only hope. In a city under siege by the undead there is only one man with the character and sense of mind able to stand in their way. A thrilling and unusual twist on the festive tale originally written by Charles Dickens.

A Zombie Christmas Carol by Michael G. Thomas is the perfect example of someone jumping on the zombie bandwagon, and running it right off a cliff (Thomas should stick to sci-fi & leave the undead alone). Well, somewhere, a Christmas tree is mourning the loss of its family because this was a complete waste of paper. The lack of creativity was overwhelming, and this version came off as a lazy attempt at a mash-up.


As always,
