Product Description

The whole school goes on lockdown, but Brian and his best friend, Chad, are safe (and stuck) in the theater departmentfar from Brians sister, Kenzie, and his ex-girlfriend with a panic attack problem, Laura. Brian and Chad, along with some of the theater kids Brian had never given the time of day before, decide to find the girls and bring them to the safety of the theater. But it wont be easy, and it will test everything they thought they knew about themselves and their classmates.

SICK

"The gore and action will leave enthralled readers thrilled and then sated with each kill on either side."

"Between the pacing and the heroes salty, blue language (full of lovingly creative, genital-inspired insults), reluctant readers who love zombies will devour it, right up to the abrupt end."

"Sick is well written, with great detail, even if it is a little gory."
