Breathers: A Zombie’s Lament by: S. G. Browne
OK. I KNOW I had Breathers listed on BuyZombie before but I think it was lost when the database that holds all of BuyZombie’s information went away awhile ago. (This is why I backup daily now instead of weekly.) So. Let me just start by saying that this is one of my favorite Zombie books out there, one of these days I will get around to doing a full review but it’s a fun and different take on the Zombie genre that is part Zombie and part comedy. It’s a great weekend read and I highly suggest this one. (I was actually hyping the book on Twitter today and it was pointed out I didn’t have a post here!) So, here it is in all of it’s fun filled Zombie loving glory. If you want a bit of the undead with a side of comedy- do yourself a favor and pick this one up today!
“For fans of Max Brooks’s The Zombie Survival Guide and zombie aficionados everywhere, a hilarious debut novel about life (and love) after death.
Meet Andy Warner, a recently deceased everyman and newly minted zombie. Resented by his parents, abandoned by his friends, and reviled by a society that no longer considers him human, Andy is having a bit of trouble adjusting to his new existence. But all that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls in Rita, an impossibly sexy recent suicide with a taste for the formaldehyde in cosmetic products, and Jerry, a twenty-one-year-old car-crash victim with an exposed brain and a penchant for Renaissance pornography. When the group meets a rogue zombie who teaches them the joys of human flesh, things start to get messy, and Andy embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will take him from his casket to the SPCA to a media-driven class-action lawsuit on behalf of the rights of zombies everywhere.
Darkly funny, surprisingly touching, and gory enough to satisfy even the most discerning reader, Breathers is a romantic zombie comedy (rom-zom-com, for short) that will leave you laughing, squirming, and clamoring for more.”
You can buy it today at Amazon and for more information about the book head over to Undead Anonymous.
