Fashion Freak in Focus: Wayne Simmons, author of Drop Dead Gorgeous
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 by WebMistress
There is nothing we love more than giving you the heads up on cool stuff other Fashion Freaks are doing! That’s why every month on the ‘zine, we’ll be spotlighting someone out there in the Lip Service universe doing something creative. This month, we aim our bright light at Belfast and Wayne Simmons.
About Wayne:
Belfast born, Wayne Simmons, has been loitering with intent around the horror underground for some years. Having scribbled reviews and interviews for the likes of Pretty Scary, ZOMBIE-A-GOGO and REVENANT MAGAZINE , Wayne is now delighted to release his debut (zombie-ish) horror novel, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, through PERMUTED PRESS…
In what little spare time Wayne has left, he enjoys walks by the shore, getting tattooed and listening to all manner of unseemly screeches on his BOOM-BOOM Box…

From Permuted Press:
While Star, shorn-headed and black-eyed tattooist, began inking her first client of a warm, spring Sunday morning, the world died…
All across Belfast, the hungover majority lapsed into a deeper sleep than normal. Something changed gear, Mother Nature’s darker side rampant throughout the unholy mess of crashing cars, smouldering televisions and falling aircraft.
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS spits out the story of a shell-shocked group of post-apocalyptic survivors as they search for purpose in a broken-down city. In a world stifled by the very smell of death, they scrape out a new life, fear and desperation giving rise to new tensions and old habits…
… But a new threat, as beautiful as it is deadly, crawls out of life’s wreckage, fuelled only by feral hunger and several shades of chaos…
Heavily inspired by Asian Horror cinema, blending fantasy with dark sci-fi, Drop Dead Gorgeous promises the gore-hungry hordes the finest in tattooed Horror. As visceral as it is delicious, this is one apocalyptic shocker you won’t want to miss…
What’s our take?
If your thing is politely worded tomes about fragile heroines, Drop Dead Gorgeous is probably a bit harsh for your delicate sensibilities. BUT, if you’re into action-laced horror filled with choice vulgarity, vivid gore, and full-tilt, ass-kicking chicks out to, not just survive, but live with a vengeance sporting a cranked up attitude, Drop Dead Gorgeous is your kind of read.
