Excerpt
He smiled at us for the first time, revealing a set of gums, with no teeth to speak of. “Dolls’ house is up there,” he said. “Turn left on the first landing. Ask for Crow.”
“Crow?” I blinked.
“The person in charge of the dolls. That’s Crow.” Another maggot peered out of a nostril like it was testing the air. The zombie’s hand flashed up and grabbed it before it could retreat. “Gotcha,” he muttered, and slurped it down.
“Oh yeah, thanks very much.” Luke gave him a queasy smile.

Before I could finish my sentence, the zombie called out from his desk. “Hey, what’s in the suitcase?”
“Oh, just something we think, um, Crow might like,” Luke called back.
The zombie looked like he was about to object when another writhing maggot dropped out of his nose and onto the front of his shirt. He flapped his hands on his chest, not wanting to miss out on another tasty treat.
Luke and I scaled the stairs as quickly as possible. Not just to avoid any more questions, but to shield our eyes from seeing one more squirming maggot going down his toothless piehole.
