Parody horror...a surprising genre but one filled with more social commentary than frightful terrors. Unless, that is, you think too long on the social commentary's underlying truths. I ran across this book by accident...word of by mouth by a fellow customer in the book store encouraged me to give it a try.
Horror parody is a new genre and not everyone's cup of tea. If you are culturally literate, horror motif aware, and slightly warped this is the book for you!
The Zombies of Lake Woebegotten is based on the idea that every town has secrets, the book proceeds to then rip down the walls to reveal in comic and bizarre the nature of those secrets. It is filled with sex, deviance, hate, drunkenness murder and that is BEFORE the zombies show up!
It is a one book motivation to double check your secrets and what might happen when .... not if... that awful zombie apocalypse strikes. You can never be too careful.
