An unstoppable curse. A dead man displaced from his time. How do you survive the zombie apocalypse when you started it? Digby Graves, a deceased medieval peasant with delusions of grandeur, is trying to figure out how the hell he ended up in Seattle eight hundred years after his death. Also, why does he have necrotic magic coursing through his zombified body? Added to that is the fact that he made a terrible first impression the moment he woke up by lunging at the first person that came into biting range. Now, the curse he unleashed is loose in the world. Digby has a target on his back and only fragmented memories of his death. He needs to survive long enough to put the pieces back together, learn what it means to lead the horde, and master his power over the dead. Digby might even find a few accomplices along the way, if he can hold off on eating them. The end of the world is gonna get weird.

And joining the Yorkshire Police force is some of the many areas covered. These will bring back memories to the readers of what is was like to live, and grow up then. The 1950's was a time of hope, a time where war rationing had just finished. The young looked to the future and made the best of what they had. Reminders of war existed to show just how bad the bad times could be. A fascinating look at times gone bye, which will no doubt bring back a flood of memories to all from that Era. The writer leaves home as a young man, aged 21, and travels to Ireland for the first time, in 1959, to find work with an Irish friend, and falls in love with the place, and people of Ireland, all its customs and charms, and as a young man of course the local Belfast girls. A weekly Commute between Belfast and Dublin for work, allowed him to build up a considerable amount of experience with the differing areas, customs, and what makes the Irish people who they are. He meets his future wife Kathleen, pictured standing in the doorway of the famous Lido Cafe, (book front cover), who at 20 years of age, was the second eldest of her three other sisters, who also worked there. The writer provides details of his engagement, moving back to North Yorkshire with his fiancee Kathleen in the very bad winter of 1960.

The book contains many photos of the times and allows the reader to slip back into the past, to feel immersed in the time and place. Many will find it a refreshing look back to their own experiences in their youth, other will find it a fascinating look back at something which is now lost to the past. The reader will find the book written in a typical basic working-class style, because that is what the writer is, and again is a telling fact of a time when some children left school for work at 15 years old, a necessity to help towards the family budget. You will read about poverty, ambition, love, happiness, and sadness, and the sheer determination to overcome the hardships of life, followed by success, pleasure, and contentment, and eventual retirement. A compelling read! All a busy life whilst bringing up a large family, the present day finds the writer trying to retire, but still working now aged 79. The book has sold many copies in Northern Ireland, especially in Co Fermanagh, and Tyrone, has been well received with good press write ups, Belfast Live, and the Fermanagh Herald.
