by Kevin J. Anderson

Back from the Dead,Back on the CaseMeet Dan Chambeaux—a.k.a. Dan Shamble—zombie detective, a persistent hardboiled gumshoe (or maybe that’s something more sinister on the bottom of his shoe…)Even being murdered doesn’t keep a good detective down, and in the Unnatural Quarter—inhabited by ghosts, vampires, werewolves, mummies, and all sorts of creatures that go bump (or thud!) in the night—a zombie P.I. fits right in. Dan Shamble solves a string of madcap cases with his ghost girlfriend Sheyenne, his Best Human Friend Officer Toby McGoohan, and his firebrand lawyer partner Robin Deyer.And first on the finding out who murdered him.This Zomnibus contains the complete first Dan Shamble novel, Death Warmed Over, plus the seven individual cases showcased in the collection Working Stiff, together in one volume. It’s a perfect way to dig up the dirt on a lot of things that would rather stay buried.Dan Shamble puts the PI in RIP.

About the author

Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. I love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series, humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS and CLOCKWORK LIVES, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are two of my very favorite novels ever. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series.

I have written spin-off novels for Star Wars, StarCraft, Titan A.E., and The X-Files, and I'm the co-author of the Dune prequels. My original works include the Saga of Seven Suns series and the Nebula Award-nominated Assemblers of Infinity. I have also written several comic books including the Dark Horse Star Wars collection Tales of the Jedi written in collaboration with Tom Veitch, Predator titles (also for Dark Horse), and X-Files titles for Topps.

I serve as a judge in the Writers of the Future contest.

My wife is author Rebecca Moesta. We currently reside near Monument, Colorado.

Reviews

[Riju Ganguly · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book contains the novel 'Death Warmed Over' and the short-story collection 'Working Stiff'.
'Death Warmed Over' is the story with which the saga of Dan Shamble, the zombie P.I, had begun. It's a nice tale with a suitable ending that gives our protagonist and his companions an appropriate closure.
'Working Stiff' is one of the most compact and hilarious reads that I have read in recent times.
Overall, I can recommend this collection to all admirers of pun-filled fun with a pinch of horror and a dash of romance.
Recommended.

Walking Dead meets Beetlejuice

Okay, I'm a gourmand rather than a gourmet when it comes to all things zombie. I've read, seen, role-played the gambit (and my fantasy is to have a bit part shambling across some campy scene). But Kevin Anderson really ups the ante with this cross-genre series featuring a PI (that means private rather than paranormal investigator) who awakens after being murdered to resume his day-- and night -- job.

It's a fully fleshed-out world, and our protagonist merges real-time and other-worldly scenes and scenarios seamlessly.

But the real charm of this "Zomnibus" is the relentless run of puns and wordplay that pepper and enliven (pun intended) the story.

This collection includes the first novel in the series as well as a collection of short stories and vignettes that round out the series' very imaginative world.

These zombie detective tales are carefully crafted to keep your attention and tickle your funny bone. Anderson’s light tone and corny humor guarantee the Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. tales will evoke at least a few chuckles.
