About Tshirt Laundry

The Tshirt Laundry concept started in late 2009 as the brainchild of a small marketing firm. What was once a few inside jokes quickly turned into an idea for an online Tshirt company, when our owner, who loves himself a funny tee, cleverly remarked, “That would be HILARIOUS on a Tshirt!”

Our designs are inspired by anything and everything – jokes, Youtube videos, our favorite TV shows and movies, current events, and more! We have a team of designers and idea generators just itching to create your next favorite shirt!

Scott Kenemore and Buy Zombie Present: Zombie Ohio Giveaway!

Scott Kenemore is one of the authors we just love over here at Buy Zombie. He’s put out a slew of highly entertaining novels on the undead to date and doesn’t look to be slowing down anywhere in the near future! By slew I of course mean 5 just so there is no confusion. Still his way or working the undead into many situations is an absolute blast and a must have for zombie fans who love humor with their flesh eating monsters.

(Contest is only open to our readers in North America*)

The always wonderful fellow Chicago based author Scott Kenemore has taken a break from his busy schedule of working with the undead (and being blizzard season digging a path through snow out of his zombie fortified compound) to send us over not 1, not 2, not even 3, but *5* Autographed copies of his recently released Zombie Ohio. That’s a lie, he actually sent over 6 but you will have to fight me to the death for that last copy. That being the case the other 5 are up for grabs! What a lucky day for fellow Scott Kenemore fans, am I right?

About Zombie Ohio

When rural Ohio college professor Peter Mellor dies in an automobile accident during a zombie outbreak, he is reborn as
a highly intelligent (yet somewhat amnesiac) member of the living dead. With society crumbling around him and violence escalating into daily life, Peter quickly learns that being a zombie isn’t all fun and brains. Humans—unsympathetic, generally, to his new proclivities—try to kill him at nearly every opportunity. His old friends are loath to associate with him. And he finds himself inconveniently addicted to the gooey stuff inside of people’s heads.

As if all this weren’t bad enough, Peter soon learns that his automobile accident was no accident at all. Faced with the harrowing mystery of his death, Peter resolves to use his strange zombie “afterlife” to solve his own murder.

Skillfully combining the genres of horror, humor, and film noir,

Zombie, Ohio weaves an enthralling and innovative tale that any fan of the current zombie craze is sure to relish. Followers of detective and horror fiction alike will find something to love about Zombie, Ohio—a tale of murder, mystery, and the walking dead.

Easy Contests Make The World Go Round

As any regular reader of Buy Zombie knows I try to feature contests from other sites whose prize that is zombie themed. It’s really a win for everyone; YOU get more chances to win something related to zombies and THEY get more potential readers. (Disclaimer: Let’s be honest. I get an easy post out of it so really everyone wins!)

So this contest is a simple comment on a post and/or re-tweet a message to Twitter contest, the prizes? Well the first place winner gets 3 shirts and the second gets a pick of one shirt. Now you may ask, what shirts? Well two of them are fun filled Freddy Kruger and The Ring themed shirts- wait, those aren’t zombies! Well of course the third happens to not only be a zombie themed shirt but one we just talked about this last week!

So if you are interested in an easy contest with a fun prize? Head over to our friend Alison’s Screamstress today for a chance to win more horror themed shirts today!

Zombie Nation Presents A Short Story Contest

This is a contest running until December 31st so you still have time to jump (limp… crawl) on it!

I know theres 1-2 writers out there who follow Buy Zombie, both young writers and a few with published novels out there. So if you’ve got an extra idea or some extra work laying around there is currently a contest going on for short stories from 500-10,000 words that you can win some prizes with! This isn’t one for getting your work published (though with enough entries might be something for them to consider.) However, who doesn’t like free exposure?

More importantly though, what’s a contest without prizes? Boring, so how about having a list of at least 10 prizes so far! All of them are easily considered keepers as well.

Prizes so far:

* [REC] (the hit Spanish zombie film – dvd)
* DEAD SET (E4′s hit zombie pastiche of Big Brother – region free dvd)
* Tomes of the Dead: Way of the Barefoot Zombie (Paperback Novel by Jasper Bark)
* An Exclusive Zombie Mez-Itz Action Figure!
