So Now You’re a Zombie: A Handbook for the Newly Undead by John Austin

So Now You’re a Zombie: A Handbook for the Newly Undead by John Austin
Chicago Review Press, 2010
ISBN: 1569763429
Available: New

So Now You’re a Zombie appears to be a book in the vein of Scott Kenemore’s The Zen of Zombie and Z.E.O, but rather than mix the undead and self help it crams loads of in-jokes into a beginner’s guide to zombies. While it’s not a novel, (there’s no real story), it’s not quite nonfiction either, and it’s often too grim to be pure humor.

Rather, it is a reflection of our current obsession with zombies and all the forms their stories have taken. Another must-have for the collections of zombie enthusiasts, and also a good addition to public collections that cater to lots of zombie fans.

Contains: Violence, gory illustrations, bad puns
