Zombie: The Doyle O'Malley Story

"Anyone who says being a zombie is easy has obviously never tried it." When Doyle O'Malley inherited his father's pub in Belfast, he never expected to end up as the undead proprietor of The Ghostly Loch in Albfest—a supernatural realm where vampires, werewolves, and ghosts are regular customers. Between dodging his ghostly business partner Eoin and satisfying his craving for brains, Doyle discovers that running a pub is complicated enough without being dead. A darkly comic tale of family legacy, supernatural transformation, and finding your place in the afterlife.
