Read the Children & Teen's Horror book with braaaaaainsWhen there's no more room in Hell, the dead will WRESTLE!Teenage necromancer, Alan Chandler, wants to start an undead wrestling federation with his pet corpse, Mort, but his strict father wants him to raise corpses for the military instead. What's a boy to do? When a mad dictator threatens to start World War 3, Alan doesn't have much of a choice. It's either follow his dreams, or become the necromancer his father always wanted him to be. Either way, there's going to be some dead men walking.Interview with the authorQ. What audience is A Boy and His Corpse aimed at?This story is aimed at Young Adult boys & men. A lot of times, the YA is only directed toward females, but I wanted to write a story aimed at young males. It's a market that is often not catered to, which is a shame.Q. Is your story a horror novel?I would categorize my story as Children & Teens Horror/Zombies since there are some horrific elements in here (and zombies), but there's also some Young Adult humor. I'd call it more a black comedy than anything else.Q. Is there a paranormal element involved in this story? Well, yes and no. No, in that it's not really a ghost story, but yes in that the protagonist, Alan Chandler, can move corpses with his mind. He's what one would call a necromancer. But he's a really poor necromancer, so it's something he has to get over to succeed.Q. Is it also a Coming of Age story?It is, and that's why I think young males will enjoy it. A lot of the things Alan goes through, they might have gone through, like being an outcast or a nerd, so I hope they enjoy it. I wrote it for them.
