Review: TELL ME WHEN
I'M DEAD ~ Splattergore
and Guts Galore
Travis Luedke

This is their story.

One night Jim disappears, leaving a
grisly trail of animal carcasses and
murdered bodies. Now Missy, the
woman Dave cheated with, threatens to
destroy not only his marriage but his
sobriety. Between Missy’s jealous
demands for attention and the police
investigation
focused
on
Jim’s
disappearance, Dave’s neatly ordered
world quickly spirals out of control.
Amid the wreckage of Dave’s personal
life, a contagion brings chaos to his
hometown of Tres Marias. The
condition, known as “the jimmies,”
infects hundreds and kills quickly. But
the dead find no rest. They rise as
ravenous flesh-eaters.
Dave soon learns that “not all draggers
want to eat your flesh, some want
revenge.” And Jim and Missy, both
infected, each want something from
Dave.

Shane KP O’Neill is the writer of The
Dracula Chronicles, a new and exciting
series adding a new dimension to the
Dracula myth. He has begun the series
with a later Chronicle to give his readers
the vampire first. Chronicle #1, For
Whom The Bell Tolls, will follow to
take you back to the beginning. For
Whom The Bell Tolls is due for release
in November, 2013.

The quarantine of Tres Marias creates
hell on Earth. Badly outnumbered
security forces are no match for the
growing hordes of undead.

The author developed a fascination
with Dracula from an early age. Like
many others he was enthralled by
Christopher Lee’s portrayal of him on
the big screen. It was in his late teens
that he discovered Dracula the man and
the love affair began from there. An
avid lover of history, he studied the
period in which the real historical Vlad
Dracula lived, 15th Century Balkan, for
many years. It followed from there then
that with his love of writing he would
always choose Dracula as his subject.
He built a concept and premise where
he could accommodate both Dracula
the vampire and Dracula the man

If the zombies don’t kill them, the
wackos surely will. Nowhere is safe.

Away from writing, the author has a
wide range of interests. He reads a lot
of books from a wide variety of authors
though his main interest lies in the
horror genre. His love of books is
matched only by his love of the
countryside and of course, his family.
As an added note, he has lived and
travelled
