Dawn of Zombie Haiku
by Ryan MecumMore Brains...Some race. Some lurch. Others come crawling, limping, staggering-dragging themselves toward anyone who might still have a pulse. Zombies invade the island of Manhattan, and they are hungry.The story of the zombie apocalypse is told through the eyes of Dawn, a ten-year-old girl who has been well-schooled in the undead because of her father's love of zombie movies. As the zombies approach, Dawn and her dad realize the time has come to implement their Zombie Escape Plan, so they gather friends and escape to the Statue of Liberty.Only... the plan doesn't go quite as expected. Dawn documents their downfall in her haiku journal, where the limb-snapping, eye-popping, bone-crunching zombies eventually make her one of their own. In gory detail, and sometimes channeling her favorite poets, she describes the gruesome scenes before her-and her own frightening impulses.

Unfortunately, when her producer-husband Kit scores his first blockbuster movie, he is stricken with dreaded "Mogus Virus"—(a common ailment!), which compels seemingly down-to-earth people to hire personal chefs and trainers and share enough air-kisses to inflate the Hindenburg. And adding to the crazy is the suspicious on-location death of his director, the much-despised whiz-kid Jeremy Lord. What’s a rational wife to do? Suddenly Lucy's only hope of maintaining some semblance of domestic bliss is to dive alone into the Pacific Palisades shark pool of actors, agents, industry honchos, lavish spenders, spoiled brats, ex-wives and voluptuous nannies, and surface with the killer. Her only weapon in this ocean of sex, lies, and camera phones is her irreverence and smarts —and they may not be formidable enough to protect Lucy from the dangerous predator who's circling....

De flor en flor
by Estefanía Carmona Sánchez Alejandro D. Martínez MartínUna apuesta, una boda, muchas flores y dos misiones: ser el padrino de sus mejores amigos... y ligarse al florista encargado de la decoración. ¿Qué puede salir mal? Cuando Lorena y Ángel deciden casarse, saben que no pueden nombrar padrino a nadie más que a Nico. Y, como dice el refrán, «un gran poder conlleva una gran responsabilidad». Entre sus (numerosas) responsabilidades se encuentra la de ocuparse de las flores, y cuando descubre De flor en flor, sabe que esa floristería es la elegida (y no solo porque el dueño, Héctor, sea el chico más guapo que ha visto en su vida. Para nada). Pero Damián, su compañero de piso, decide darle aún más interés a sus funciones: sabiendo que Nico es incapaz de negarse a una apuesta, le reta a que se ligue al florista para que sea su más uno en la boda... o pague un mes entero de alquiler solo. Con lo que Damián no cuenta es con que, incapaz de jugar con los sentimientos de Héctor perodeseoso de ganar la apuesta, Nico confiesa y, junto al florista, deciden darle su merecido a Damián. Así comienza su alianza. Con sus mejores amigas como únicas cómplices y mientras Lorena y Ángel rezan por que la boda no se vea perjudicada, Nico iniciará con Héctor una falsa relación que... quizás no sea tan falsa como ellos creen. A veces las mentiras solo necesitan de un empujoncito para convertirse en verdad.
