Between Zombies and the Sea Czello Malkin

The passengers waiting to board the MS Brightstar are ready to enjoy the cruise vacation of a lifetime. The ship's staff are ready to cater to their every desire. That is, until something, something horrible, changes them, turning the fun-loving vacationers into ... Well, you get the idea. Between Zombies and the Sea is part horror story, part cultural satire-a book of ideas and fun. We follow a young musician named Nicholas Dresden in his awkward attempt to adapt to ship work, fit in socially, and survive. We meet the musicians, performers, and other crewmembers on the ship, a few of its hungrier passengers, and a mysterious stranger with seemingly limitless power. Who will make it out alive?

"A dark and hilarious book. There's nothing lacking here. The characters and the action, the creative gore. Fans of dark fantasy and weird fiction should be totally into it. I couldn't put it down!" ?????

"This thing is so cool. Malkin really dives into the philosophical angle in an interesting way. As weird as it sounds, this is the deepest zombie book I've read in a long time." ?????

"This thing simmers with creative energy. Totally heartbroken when I finished it. It should be 100 pages longer!" ?????

Fans of spiritual horror are in for an amazing treat when they open this book. A look into two weird worlds at once: the world of cruise ship staff, and the world of the undead.
