Tommy Two is a man of fine tastes – cars, clothes, women…himself. But more importantly, Tommy Two is a criminal – the kind that specializes in a certain brand of crime. The Australian-born malefactor is an American-based pirate, robbing and pillaging high-brow cruiseliners for their riches. No matter the risk, Tommy is there to reap the rewards. However, the tone changes from bright to disgustingly bleak, all in the blink of an eye, when Tommy takes what seems to be an all-too-easy job. With the ease comes an easily overlooked, but dangerous, catch – he and a man named Benjamin are to escort, and document, the effects of something call “Green Tea”. A mysterious green fluid that induces fear, death, and grotesque forms of fornication among the undead victims. Is Tommy Two successful enough to pull off a sea-bound heist with the horrors of Hell biting at his feet? Sit back, have a cup of Green Tea, and prepare for a rip-roaring rampage through undead waters. Musically maniacal, Donald Armfield creates a chapbook filled to the brim with scenes of gratuity – blood, guts, gore, sex, and insanity. None of it to be taken too heavily, or too lightly, as the plot pounds with horror driven crime, and a sick sense of humor that rings back to the pulpy paperbacks of the yesteryears.
The Green Tea Heist Reviews
-
HA! This book is funny. If you look at the cover, well, this is you on Green Tea. Scientists designed it from toxic waste, and if you drink it you will become a very horny zombie. Watch out for Tommy Two, who is a badass. He can and does pull off his own heists. This cool sumbitch steals the captain's diamond and rescues the clueless pretty lady while all the dead and dismembered passengers are having violent sex. On a boat. This is a fast-track ride through wackyland. Don't be a girly-man. Read it.

Originally published in Busted Lip anthology, this standalone publication of the tale is well worth the money. Morbidity lingers within this tale of toxic love and greed. The green tea mentioned here is a chemical weapon developed by shadowy scientists. Once ingested, the imbiber turns into a rapidly decaying and uber-horny zombie. Add to the mix a modern-day pirate who stumbles upon a liner where they stuff is being tested and all sorts of horror ensues.
I love independent stuff like this. Very rarely have I ever been disappointed by a purchase. Sure, it might not be the next Finnegan's Wake in writing style, but it has heart and passion (if a little disgustingly displayed) and that comes across in the book. Too many people are ignored by the mainstream and thus their talents and a good deal of excellent material is lost.
This is a fun and grotesque story (as you can see from the sample above), but is not for the easily offended, the faint hearted, those who wear monocles (as they might pop out after gazing at the material), or non-lovers of horror. -
If you like lots of sex in your violence, you’ll love The Green Tea Heist. Not the sexy kind of sex, mind you, but the kind two toxic waste zombies have while chewing each others’ faces off. This book reads like a zombie splatter film crossed with a classic action flick condensed into forty pages of gory mayhem, and is certain to find fans with those who enjoy the aforementioned film styles.

A good story
Crazy? Deranged? Good ol fashioned violence and gore. It's got it all. I recommend this book to all fans of modern horror. .
