Gobbelino London & a Contagion of Zombies

"Zombies don't exist. You told me they don't exist.""There's a corpse clawing its way out of a grave over there. I'm open to the possibility that I may have been wrong." I see dead people.

And I'm not the only one. They're even on Facebook.The dead are rising, and if we don't stop them before the infection spreads any further, we're going to be knee-deep in the zombie apocalypse before you can say mmm, brains.

The only problem is, we don't know why they're rising, who started it, or how to stop them.

But G & C London, Private Investigators, are on the case. Just as soon as we get through dealing with disapproving reapers, irate magicians, zombie-fied chickens, and a small internal case of undeadness. Trust us.

This is the second book in the Gobbelino London, PI urban fantasy series, centred around the adventures of a mercenary feline PI and his human sidekick. It contains snarky cats and other gods, many bad jokes and terrible puns, plus a large serving of mythological and real creatures behaving badly. It will appeal to anyone who likes their fantasy funny, modern, and filled with friendship rather than romance - and also to those who suspect their cat may be living a great and secret life when they're not looking.

A Contagion of Zombies contains some violence, particularly toward the already dead, but none of it is graphic. It contains no sex and only mild language. It does, however, contain blasphemy.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Voodoo

Voodoo is a rich and inviting fragrance built around the depth of freshly brewed coffee, softened with the natural sweetness of sugar cane. Warm and slightly indulgent, this scent blends bold, roasted notes with a smooth, lingering sweetness that feels both energizing and comforting. Subtle and atmospheric, it carries a hint of something more, adding a layer of intrigue that makes the fragrance feel warm, familiar, and just a little bit magical.

Why we chose this: Gobbelino London is a mercenary feline private investigator, Callum is his long-suffering human sidekick, and together they have faced Books of Power, zombie chickens, the last unicorns in England, necromancers, weres, mermaids, and the end of the world, usually for less money than the job was worth. Voodoo carries the warm, slightly mysterious depth of a series where the magic is always stranger than expected and the friendship at its heart is the realest thing in it, rich and roasted with a hint of something that feels like a late night that keeps getting more interesting. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a Yorkshire evening where Gobbelino is already plotting something inadvisable and Callum has just realized it is too late to stop him.
