Five star collection of short stories - horror AND comedy!,
By
This review is from: Dial M For Monster: A Collection Of Cal McDonald Mystery Stories (Paperback)
If you liked zombie comedy movies like Shawn of the Dead, or horror movie parody movies like Scary Movie, you'll love this collection of Steve Nile's short stories, featuring the supernatural private investigator Cal McDonald. This is a much more accessible volume for non-comic readers than the other comic based tales of Cal McDonald -- they're just darn good reads, with the kind of dry with that Steve Niles brings to bear with this character.

Great Short story collection for Cal Mcdonald fans,
This review is from: Dial M For Monster: A Collection Of Cal McDonald Mystery Stories (Paperback)
This collection is Awsome. all fans of the Cal Mcdonald books have to check this out. my Favorite sotry is "The Eater" because it was out right hilarious and "The Dead Dont Die" just because it was a classic Zombie story. this books stories all take place after "Guns Drugs & Monsters but before "criminal Macabre" everybody read and enjoy. good for multiple readings.
