TGIF, right? Looking for something weird to read this weekend? Check out the horror anthology Inanimate Things! http://bit.ly/inanimatethingsvolumeone

Zombie pirates, living toys, medical equipment, and mannequins. These are just a few of the things that can tear you apart. Enjoy these stories and try not to disparage the things you see just because you don't think they're conscious. You could insult a psychopathic thing that you never expected...
