Bloodier thanFried Green Tomatoes! Funnier thanThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre! Welcome to Gil's All Night Diner, where zombie attacks are a regular occurrence and you never know what might be lurking in the freezer . . . Duke and Earl are just passing through Rockwood county in their pick-up truck when they stop at the Diner for a quick bite to eat. They aren't planning to stick around-until Loretta, the eatery's owner, offers them $100 to take care of her zombie problem. Given that Duke is a werewolf and Earl's a vampire, this looks right up their alley. But the shambling dead are just the tip of a particularly spiky iceberg. Seems someone's out to drive Loretta from the Diner, and more than willing to raise a little Hell on Earth if that's what it takes. Before Duke and Earl get to the bottom of the Diner's troubles, they'll run into such otherworldly complications as undead cattle, an amorous ghost, a jailbait sorceress, and the terrifying occult power of pig-latin. And maybe--just maybe--the End of the World, too. Gory, sexy, and flat-out hilarious,Gil's All Fright Diner will tickle your funnybone--before ripping it out of its socket!… (más)
This is a very fun humor/horror book. Duke, a truck driving werewolf, and Earl, a scientologist vampire, wind up at Gil's All Night Diner just as someone is attempting to call the old gods back to Earth, and Gil's seems to be the center of all the weirdness. ( )
What a fun, cthulian, horror-themed, fantasy novel. It stays on just the right side of camp, and it's really quite sweet. Also, there's plenty of Lovecraft influence. Hooray for tentacles and whimsy. ( )

This book is dedicated to the following people in the order of importance: To Me, because I wrote it. To Mom, without whom I probably wouldn't have. To the men and women of the DFW Writer's Workshop. Their wise advice made this book better, although I'll later deny I ever said anything of the sort and claim this part of the dedication is a typo. And to Don "The Dragon" Wilson.

In the middle of nowhere, along a quiet stretch of road, the diner dreamt of the hungry dead. And of two men. Well, not men exactly.

But, for now, there was just Earl, his best friend, his girlfriend, one spectral dog, and a long dirt road heading into a distant horizon and a nice, quiet, normal night.
