...okay, so I'm not really dead; however, I did just have Randy snap a bunch of headshots of me pretending to be dead in order to take a chance at getting one of the pictures included in a "casualties pulled from the rubble" sequence in the upcoming film version of Jeff Vandermeer's Shriek: An Afterword. Oh, and in case you're asking "Jeff who?", then you need to pick up and read City of Saints and Madmen, an amazing literary work that is definitely making my top ten book list this year - call it a must-read recommendation.

So, would you be an interesting corpse? Do you want in on the action? If so, hit up this thread over on the Night Shade Books message boards (and while you're there, you might as well take advantage of the 40% off coupon - NSB0640) and post a picture (or try to post a picture - that part didn't work so well for me). And be interesting, after all, the dead of Ambergris would probably be more diverse than a bunch of T-shirt clad computer geeks in zombie makeup.

Good luck, have fun, and try not to bleed on the carpet.
