Not until today, that is.  A. S. Thomsen makes it look easy with Eight Ball Down, a book that seems like it could be right up there with Shaun of the Dead or The World’s End as far as cheeky London humor-meets-deadly catastrophes go.  It’s a charming read that will have you ready to turn the page before your eyes even make it to the last word on each.

Vampires are coming out of the woodwork, a new evil walks the hallowed streets of Putney, South London and the ridiculed Putney Vampire Killers face their biggest challenge yet – saving the World…and Boat Race Day…in under 12 hours.

Armed with their magical pool cues and working out of The Great Lodge, a living building disguised as a pub (The Pig & Phoenix) and rumoured to have gone senile, Carl, Lola, Johnny and Bert take on a host of supernatural beings on the Lower Richmond Road while trying to rid the world of the infamous magical Eight Ball. Vampires, zombies, fish demons, Time Police and a pan-dimensional indestructible plague of female pirates stand between them and the end of the planet. Can they do it and get back in time to open the pub before a swarm of angry punters have their necks?

With an interesting story that’s delightfully funny, Thomsen manages to make combining genres seem effortless.  Eight Ball Down promises to be just the first of the Pig and Phoenix books, and once you’re done reading this, you’ll be clamoring for the next one. If you’d like to pick up this story, check it out on Amazon.  It’s also available in the UK store.  And be sure to check out Thomsen’s website and her awesome book trailer!

I absolutely love that Ryan and her charming story are aware of its presence.  The tongue-in-cheek humor definitely drives this story, and I have no doubts that you’ll enjoy it.  Read on to see the synopsis:

Meet Hailey – possessed by an otherworldly being who was trapped in her Kindle.

Hailey Parrish is quick-witted, irreverent, and hasn’t had a date in three years. She only wanted an eBook reader because her collection of paperbacks threatened to take over her small living space. Little did she know that the “special offers” that prompted the purchase included much more than a reduced price in exchange for a few ads. The device came pre-loaded with the essence of Sebastian Kess, an erudite womanizer with magical abilities from a parallel dimension. When she inadvertently releases him and he inhabits her body, she finally has a man inside her, just not in the way she imagined. And soon her predicament introduces her to yet another supernatural, the handsome could-be-the-man-of-her-dreams Alex Sunderland. Can Alex and Hailey find a way to return Sebastian to his own body and stay one step ahead of the criminals who want to keep him where he is?

Special Offers, the first book of the Coursodon Dimension Series, combines urban fantasy, a bit of romance and a healthy dose of quirky humor.

Ryan is a prolific worker bee, and you can find her books just about everywhere.  For links to the entry title of her Coursodon Dimension series, click the links below.
