'Gothsocks': (Through the looking glass darkly.)

Alice has never used her name, ever, and people call her ‘The Bam’. Bam is a gothy angel Bam still totally loves Summer, they broke up a couple of months ago. Normally she works as a palliative care nurse, specifically working with people who have a short time left. She will work at that for two or three years at a stint, then during her emotional recharge time, like now, she drives a black, euphemistically stencilled private ambulance. She breathes the air, listens to her music. Mostly the job is picking up the dead and taking them on the next part of their journey. With Summer. What happens when one of their dead passengers turns out to be a little bit undead? WARNING: Contains scenes of violence, torture, drug taking, some bad language and a little bit of shop lifting and mild bestiality. (But the bestiality is funny and very feminist.)

About the Author

Biography, J.R. Shelley It is rumoured that Shelley was born at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, and graduated (eventually) from the Ace Obedience School. As well as acting and directing Shelley has worked as a writer in UK theatre for what is definitely a long time. Really, a long time. You would go 'Oh, no, you look far too young to have worked in theatre that long.' You really would.. Plays authored include adaptations of Shakespeare, Sophocles, Chekhov and Poe that have mostly been humorous. (On purpose.) Most recently before writing this first novel Shelley co-wrote two urban-gothic comic plays with Chris Lambert*, 'Vampire Hospital' and 'Detention of Terror'. No actors were harmed much in the production of these plays. Shelley's hobbies include hiding. (*The writer Chris Lambert. Not the French acting bloke who was in 'Highlander'.)
