Synopsis
As tattoo artist Star begins to ink her first client on a spring Sunday morning, something goes horribly wrong with the world...Belfast's hungover lapse into a deeper sleep than normal, their sudden deaths causing an unholy mess of crashing cars, smoldering televisions and falling aircraft. In the chaotic aftermath a group of post-apocalyptic survivors search for purpose in a devastated city. Ageing DJ Sean Magee and shifty-eyed Barry Rogan find drunken solace in a hotel bar. Ex-IRA operative Mairead Burns and RIR soldier Roy Beggs form an uneasy alliance to rebuild community life. Elsewhere, a mysterious Preacher Man lures shivering survivors out of the shadows with a promise of redemption. Choked by the smell of death, Ireland's remaining few begin the journey toward a new life, fear and desperation giving rise to new tensions and dark old habits. But a new threat--as gorgeous as it is deadly--creeps slowly out of life's wreckage. Fueled by feral hunger and a thirst for chaos, the corpses of the beautiful are rising!

Customer Reviews

Drop Dead Brilliant
I am a big fan of the way you write, descriptive, but not overly exaggerated.
The characters were great, I felt like I really knew them.
Story line was great, I am not a fan of zombie's normally, but your book has made me want to read another one.
You made me laugh, and cry throughout.

The only thing I would of wanted to see was the zombie's to have made an appearance earlier on.

Wayne Simmons left me begging for more, and my husband didn't even mind......

Great book Wayne, I hope you are bringing another out

Drop Dead Fantastic
Fantastic, I loved it even though I'm not a hardened zombie fan....(although I am a fan of King and it was definitely up there). It's one of those gorgeous novels that you can't put down and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone, in fact my mum is now reading it.

Being from Belfast I really loved the local feel, I could imagine myself in the scenes...especially the Europa bus centre ones.

The lead character, Star, rocks, as a girl with some ink I enjoyed the tattoo references.

There is something for everyone, horror, humour, great characters and sexy zombie ladies ....bring on the sequel!!

breathtaking
