Zombie, Ohio by Scott Kenemore
While I usually wait until books are up for sale instead of pre-order I can’t help but want to encourage all of our readers to support Scott Kenemore, a Chicago based zombie author who has a flair for putting together solidly entertaining zombie books.
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.

This sounds pretty stupid. Stop glorifying the zombie genre as a fad and trying to milk it from all angles. If you can’t come up with original ideas for zombie novels that involve people surviving, striving, evading, what have you, the undead, then don’t half ass it and try to write it from the zombie’s perspective. No better than any of those other fad books (Z.E.O. , Zombie Haikus, etc.)
PASS.
Hi Guest,
I feel like 95% of the zombie novels out there are about people “surviving, striving, evading, what have you, the undead.” This book, actually, is the kind of thing that sounds original and not just like somebody “piling on” the zombie heap.
Brian,
Completely agree with you! There are a TON of the survival books out there (and that’s not a bad thing at all!) It’s nice to see a refreshing change of pace come up now and again.
