After an attempted horse theft goes tragically wrong, sixteen-year-old Caleb Bentley is on the run with his mean-spirited older brother across the American Southwest at the turn of the twentieth century. Caleb’s moral compass and inner courage will be tested as they travel the harsh terrain and encounter those who have carved out a life there, for good or ill. Wealthy and bookish Randall Dawson, out of place in this rugged and violent country, is begrudgingly chasing after the Bentley brothers. With little sense of how to survive, much less how to take his revenge, Randall meets Charlotte, a woman experienced in the deadly ways of life in the West. Together they navigate the murky values of vigilante justice. Powerful and atmospheric, lyrical and fast-paced, All Things Left Wild is a coming-of-age for one man, a midlife odyssey for the other, and an illustration of the violence and corruption prevalent in our fast-expanding country. It artfully sketches the magnificence of the American West as mirrored in the human soul.
Eric was an ordinary man. He wanted to have an ordinary life. But extraordinary events transformed his quiet life... into an afterlife. After moving to the village of Bury St. Morts in the Norfolk countryside, Eric has to come to terms with the fact that he is terminally deceased. Why are the people of Bury St. Morts becoming zombified one by one? Does the problem lie deep in the heart of the English countryside? How will Eric deal with the authorities in his quest to get answers about the biologically challenged? Joseph Robert, writer and poet, says: Is this Swift for the 21st century? Joseph Robert doesn't know but he knows you'll laugh so hard your dick'll fall off. Dangerously close to libel, deeply offensive - all this and more. Melissa Jean, editor and publisher, says: Zombie Reflux is a satirical take on contemporary society. Who else would be brave enough to publish a farce of this calibre other than Meandi Books?
