Amazon Reviews
“Ideal for fans of the Goosebumps series who don’t mind gory stories.”
“My son really enjoyed this book. It is a wild, creepy, and hilarious ride! Dessi’s cruise turns into a zombie nightmare, and her grandma is one of them! With help from a monster-hunting teen and a super-sniffing dog, she battles brain-hungry passengers and tries to save everyone. It’s spooky, action-packed, and full of surprises!”
“I’ve never had so much fun reading a book about zombies! The Vetala Zone: December and Friday’s Zombie Cruise is a wildly entertaining ride filled with heart, humor, and just the right amount of horror. From the moment December Spenser boards her family’s annual Grandparents Cruise—still grieving the loss of her beloved Grams—you know this won’t be an ordinary vacation. But when passengers start turning into zombies (including Grams herself!), things spiral into chaos in the best possible way. Special shoutout to Grandda’s multi-function cane—one of the coolest supporting gadgets in the story—and to the military threat looming overhead, which adds real stakes to this already intense adventure.”
The Day After Hamlet Died

You don’t know me but you know my friend: Hamlet, the best-known dead prince ever. Maybe you know what happened to him and maybe you don’t, but it wasn’t just a story. It was real, and I can guarantee you don’t know the parts I’m about to tell. The unexpected survivors. The hidden murders. I’m the only one left who was there: Horatio, Hamlet’s best friend.
Sebastian sometimes writes as David Jarvis, as was the case with this short novel. It originally appeared in Black Cat Weekly issue #178.
Amazon Reviews
“There are so many things I enjoyed about this romp around Denmark, Castles, Kings, and Hamlet. To mention a couple of highlights, the author seamlessly blended old and new language to create a piece that simply sparkled … I hope to see more sequels to Hamlet’s plays done by this very witty writer. Another note: this is an A+ mystery. And a bit of a romance. And for me, the book ended with a chuckle. Highly recommend this read.”
“The Day After Hamlet Died is now my official headcannon for how things played out after The Bard’s story ended. It’s got a fun murder mystery, plenty of fourth wall breaking, a romantic subplot, and a very satisfying ending that ties things Search term:up, and hints about further incursions into Shakespeare’s plays by the protagonist. The writing is great, and the story is well-paced. For the record, I’m an English teacher who teaches Shakespeare to high schoolers, but I also think that, above all, stories should be fun. And that’s exactly what this one was.”
