If you've read the independent satire, sci-fi, horror sensation that is the Island of Dr. Morose; you know how deliciously gruesome, gory and gritty it is. What you may not know is that author Mike Gagnon originally conceived of the book as a graphic novel, a project that was completely plotted, fully scripted before the project ultimately died. Like any great story, or zombie, it just wouldn't rest, rising again as the internationally distributed and fan lauded novel we know and love. Now here, the author presents the original texts. All the plot and chapter breakdowns, character bios, and the complete original graphic novel script, exposed like the entrails of a bloated corpse on the beach, just before you realize that corpse is moving, gnawing on your ankle and working it's way toward your brain!
Lifelong lover of words and art. A professional author, illustrator and instructor that has worked for publishers all over the world. Fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, magazines.
A zombie in a suit and bow-tie served drinks to the dinner guests. The smell of his putrid arm catching the attention of at least one diner.
Book Excerpt
The Island of Dr. Morose Script Book
A zombie with a bowtie on and a serving tray in one hand leans over Marija’s shoulder to re-fill her champagne glass. This zombie is more decomposed than others and has stink lines coming off of him. (if we could make him look a little like Emperor zombie from Amazing Screw-On Head that would be great.) Marija’s face is twisted with disgust. She stares and leans away from the zombie who has invaded her personal space. She is pulling away as far from the zombie as possible and has her arm raised in mock self defence. Her wrinkled nose sniffs the air.
