Working stiffs

Working Stiffs is a hilarious, action-packed tale of survival in the fast-paced world of pharmaceuticals.

Something has gone horribly wrong in the Pro-Well Pharmaceuticals factory and ex-meth dealer Marshall Owens, the company’s owner and drug genius, must keep the surrounding Pittsburgh area from finding out. Unfortunately, the undead assembly line workers have other plans.

The infection spreads and chaos reigns supreme as the surviving Pro-Well employees battle their way through offices with whatever weapons they can scrounge from the supply closet. They must get outside. But they don’t know that The General is out there amassing a shambling, rotting army of Pittsburgh’s finest.

Will the employees make it?

Will two repulsive workers find love in a janitor’s closet?

How many office workers can one man take down with the blade of a paper cutter and some staplers?

Will Marshall Owens go back to selling meth?

And most important of all, will Pro-Well’s stock value plummet?

Find out all the answers in this brilliant new horror/comedy novel reminiscent of the style of Christopher Moore.
