Desert Island Interview: Mark Henry
Urban Fantasy author Mark Henry shares the six books he would bring if stranded on a desert island.
Seattle. One minute you’re drinking a vanilla breve, the next, some creepy old dude is breathing on you, turning you into a zombie. And that’s just for starters. Now, the recently deceased Amanda Feral is trying to make her way through Seattle’s undead scene with style (mortuary-grade makeup, six-inch stilettos, Balenciaga handbag on sale) while satisfying her craving for human flesh (Don’t judge. And no, not like chicken.) and decent vodkatinis.
Making her way through a dangerous world of cloud-doped bloodsuckers, reapers, horny and horned devils, werewolves, celebrities, and PR-obsessed shapeshifters—not to mention an extremely hot bartender named Ricardo—isn’t easy. And the minute one of Amanda’s undead friends disappears after texting the word, “help” (The undead—so dramatic!) she knows the afterlife is about to get really ugly.
Something sinister is at hand. Someone or something is hellbent on turning Seattle’s undead underworld into a place of true terror. And this time, Amanda may meet a fate a lot worse than death…
Mark, who is a comedian, warns strangers “prepare to be insulted” about his debut novel, Happy Hour of the Damned. I picked up an autographed copy at the 2008 Emerald City Writers Conference Book Fair and will let you know if his prediction comes true. To tide you over, here are some other blogger reviews of Happy Hour of the Damned:
