Living Death Race: Beauty & the Brains

by John Everson

Overview

One Deadly Girl...
One Macho Guy...
One Kick-Ass Car...
And a Whole Lotta ZOMBIES...

In an apocalyptic near-future where zombies have taken over, the remaining humans live walled up in a few key cities. Once a year, their doors open to let the bravest of drivers out to compete in the LIVING DEATH RACE.

Mira "Beauty" Linn made her money to trick out her classic 1972 Mustang in the underground, illegal zombie cock fight ring. But when Tony shanghaies her and her car to drive in the Living Death Race, she vows to let nothing get between her and the prize. Not Kill Bill and the Cootch, not Master & Servant, not Gwen, Tony's zombie mistress and definitely not Tony, who someone erroneously dubbed The Brains.

But Tony has his own plans as he drives "Deathasus" hard in this cross country marathon to dole out more death to the dead!
