ZOMBIES IN NEW YORK AND OTHER BLOODY JOTTINGS
For Individual Stories ...
AMELINE
Something is sapping the strength of the normally robust dancers of the
Moulin Rouge. Author Sam Stone writes: 'A tale inspired by a visit to
Montmartre in Paris combined with an investigation by my favourite
vampire Lucy Collins (aka Lucrezia Borgia).' Warning: This audio
download contains explicit scenes and language. PRICE £1.24
FOOL'S GOLD
A four hundred year old vampire investigates the Ripper murders in
Whitechapel. Author Sam Stone writes: 'I've always been fascinated with
Jack the Ripper and wanted to explore the legends, adding my own fantasy
twist to the proceedings. This story won the British Fantasy Award for
Best Short Story of 2010.' Warning: This audio download contains
explicit scenes and language. PRICE £1.24
LEAD POISONING
A beautiful starlet dies mysteriously of lead poisoning; can the vampire
Lucrezia solve the crime before anyone else dies? Author Sam Stone
writes: 'Gangsters and Hollywood movie stars are a potent mix and gave
me the ingredients to create a good old fashioned mystery. I was asked
to write a crime story ... but no-one said I couldn't have my vampire as
the investigator.' Warning: This audio download contains explicit
scenes and language. PRICE £1.84
ZOMBIES IN NEW YORK
An outbreak of zombies in New York turns club owner Rocco's life upside
down. Author Sam Stone writes: 'After visiting New York in May 2010, I
felt it was the perfect place upon which to inflict a zombie
apocalypse.' Warning: This audio download contains explicit scenes and
language. PRICE £1.84
TAR
The discovery of wolf remains in the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles is
the trigger for a fanatical cult to try and reincarnate their werewolf
god. Author Sam Stone writes: 'I always wondered what would happen if we
could revive the ancient remains and fossils we find, and a visit to La
Brea brought this story to mind after seeing all the wolf skulls on
display there.' Warning: This audio download contains explicit scenes
and language. PRICE £1.24
RED
They say that opposites attract, but can the werewolf, Red, really give
the vampire, Lucrezia, the security she thinks she needs? Author Sam
Stone writes: 'A sexy story in which I was exploring the idea of
obsession and the levels of degradation to which unhealthy emotion can
lead.' Warning: This audio download contains explicit scenes and
language. PRICE £1.84
ANGELS LOVE VAMPIRES
Teaching an angel all about love seems a good idea until Lucrezia finds
herself the object of too much desire. Author Sam Stone writes: 'The
title came to me first: angels and vampires - now there's a mix you just
wouldn't expect.' Warning: This audio download contains explicit
scenes and language. PRICE £1.24
And from the Other Bloody Jottings ...
CLOWN ADDICT
Gay civil servant, Dale, loves clowns but his dalliances result in a
string of strangely humorous deaths. Author Sam Stone writes: 'As a fan
of horror movies I was drawn to the sinister humour of the Doctor Phibes
films and wanted to write my own homage to those wonderfully gruesome
tales. After a visit to an American Circus I had all the inspiration I
needed.' Warning: This audio download contains explicit scenes and
language. PRICE £1.24
IMMORTAL MONSTER
A struggling writer finds the elusive overnight success he has always
dreamed of, but it comes at a terrible price. Author Sam Stone writes:
'I was asked to write a ghost story but realised that I wanted to avoid
clichés. This story has deliberate ambiguity, is it about a ghost or
not? You decide.' Warning: This audio download contains explicit
scenes and language. PRICE £1.84
CHILLERS AND BREATHERS
Detectives Charlie and Meg live on opposite sides of life and death. Meg
is a chiller - a ghost - and Charlie is a breather - alive - and they
work together investigating crimes. In this story they investigate a
drug which can perhaps bridge the gap between the two worlds. Author Sam
Stone writes: 'I was wondering if the dead and the living could
co-exist and how would they get along, and this story was the result. I
like the ideas and the world and may revisit it again soon.' Warning:

BLOOD LOSS
A mortician discovers that there really is life after death when a
beautiful woman he autopsied turns up in the bar later that night.
Author Sam Stone writes: 'I was exploring what would happen if, even
after death, we could still see and feel. It was a horrible, but
fascinating, concept.' Warning: This audio download contains explicit
scenes and language. PRICE £1.24
SIREN'S SONG
While investigating a rash of unexplainable deaths in the area, a
reporter becomes fixated on a mysterious woman who moves into his
apartment block. Author Sam Stone writes: 'The concept of the Siren has
beguiled sailors for years and I wanted to explore what happens when you
finally come face to face with this most seductive of mythological
creatures, and what lies behind their haunting song.' Warning: This
audio download contains explicit scenes and language.
PRICE £1.84
THE TOYMAKER'S HOUSE
While working on a gory horror movie, assistant director Caron becomes
suspicious of the special effects created by Mark - an odd and solitary
expert who sees his creations as art. Caron's investigations lead her to
some horrific answers. Author Sam Stone writes: 'Psychological horror
is the worst kind of horror and this story was born from a vivid and
gory nightmare. I tried to recapture in words, the horror and terror of
my dream, in an intense and unsettling piece.' Warning: This audio
download contains explicit scenes and language. PRICE £1.84
Bonus Story ...
WALKING THE DEAD
When the dead begin to rise, the world is plunged into panic. It takes
the common sense of a twelve year old boy to figure out how to handle
the zombie menace. Author Sam Stone writes: 'Zombies appear everywhere
in literature but I wanted to write a story that was atypical. The idea
came from the title, a mis-remembering of the HBO television series 'The
Walking Dead' crossed with another BBC crime show called 'Waking the
Dead'.' Warning: This audio download contains explicit scenes and
