#1 - Remedies for the Supernaturally Afflicted



Editor’s Note: I think we’ve established that ESP is not your average publishing company. To show you just how different we are and how much we care, we’ve hired a group of expert attorneys to answer your supernatural legal questions. Are you worried about your daughter’s zombie boyfriend? Is your vampire secretary constantly late for work? Have you gone hunting and found out your prey was…not exactly what you thought you were shooting? Our advice column can help!


I have a question about my wife. She’s been a zombie for about 18 months now.  I have tried to remain a loving and devoted husband, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult. How do I put this delicately? A man has certain needs.  It has been 14 months since we shared the “intimate relations” that I had become accustomed to in our relationship. It isn’t that I want or need sex every day, but we haven’t done it in almost a year and a half!
To make matters worse, she doesn’t smell very good or change her clothes much, and she seems to have lost interest in being “hygienic.” And all she really wants to do is eat. But I still have needs (I still want to make love to my lady!). They aren’t being met, and I see no end to this. When I try to create an intimate atmosphere or flirt with her like we used to, she gets violent. She’s gone cold and barely talks to me beyond the occasional grunt or groan. I would like to save the marriage, but she won’t go to counseling (the one time I convinced her to go, she attacked the counselor). I don’t know what else to do. Can I file for divorce? I know I said ‘’Till death do us part’’ but we’re kind of there already right?

Meet the Scribes


Okay, so we’ve given you bits, and we’ve given you pieces. We’ve given you morsels, even.  You’ve read the first chapter of a pretty badass (if we do say so, ourselves) novel.  You’ve gotten a peek inside the mind of our editor on public transit and the apocalypse.  It’s about time, then, that we properly introduced ourselves.  We are the founders and keepers of ESP.  We are the Electric Sheep Scribes…
Sound off!
