Mark's Merry Mayhem

This was included for free from audible, and as it bridged the gap between holidays, I gave it a go. I’ll share the bio, as this is kind of a real short one:
“Most of you know I’m not known for my short stories, apparently I’m much too long-winded. But on occasion there are some things I just need to pull from my head and put on paper. I hope you enjoy this small glimpse into the things that keep me up at night.”
The first story opens up with the author writing his family and home into a zombie apocalypse. As he is an apocalyptic writer, it makes sense, but I also thought it was a really cool idea too. They barricade themselves upstairs and fight to keep the hoard at bay.
The following stories feature some of the characters from his works, which I have not read, and I can only assume would be much more enjoyable if I had first. However, they do seem to be at least mostly unrelated to the other works, because you can follow along easily enough, it’s just some of the personal relationship stuff that doesn’t hit.
Personally a 3/5*, an enjoyable and real short collection. The narration was real Bostonian, but enjoyably fitting.
