Zombie Bake-Off

De: Stephen Graham Jones

Narrado por: Scott Sowers

It's time for the annual Recipe Days bake-off in Lubbock, Texas. Soccer moms and grandmothers gather to show off their family recipes, learn new secrets for the perfect shortcake, and perhaps earn a chance to be on the famous cooking show, How Would You Cook It, Then? When the bake-off is crashed by a federation of pro wrestlers - including American Badass, Jersey Devil Jill, Tiny Giant, The Village Person, Jonah the Whale, the Hellbillies, and the fan favorite Xombie - all hell is set to break loose. Your heart beats faster as you anticipate who will come out on top in the ultimate showdown of the century: soccer moms or pro wrestlers. Anything can happen. An infected batch of donuts has transformed most of the wrestlers into mindless brain-eaters and the doors of the convention center have been chained shut, leaving the survivors locked inside, forced to fend for themselves against the hungry dead. Possessing the intensity of a shotgun to the face, Zombie Bake-Off is a stripped-down masterpiece of blood and doughnuts from celebrated author Stephen Graham Jones.

"Of course, he's dead."

OMG. Stephen Graham Jones did it again. Wrote a book I could barely read without gagging but couldn't put it down because of course I had to find out what happens next.

I love the characters, and really love to hate them. I love the worlds he creates and the ambiance within. And look forward to the next book.

Keep writing, Stephen Graham Jone, because your books are better than anything I've ever seen on the big screen.

Very entertaining!!

I loved this book!! Narrated beautifully!!! It was better than I had hoped for!! Funny and entertaining

How do you make zombies and Pro-wrestling boring?

Really struggled to finish this one. Just slow, poorly paced, uninteresting meh. I really thought pro-wrestling and zombies? This will be great, if not sci-fi channel fantastic, but no.

Just no.

Delightful Campy Horror

While not the masterpiece-level of the Indian Lake Trilogy or The Only Good Indians, this is a fun one-off. Part Zombieland, part Poseidon Adventure, Zombie Bakeoff is more like a disaster story than a true horror, but very worthwhile, especially for Stephen Graham Jones completists.

Happy I took a chance on this!

Starts a little slow but then it takes off like a rocket! It’s an odd mix of characters and that makes it even better. Definitely worth a listen and I think it would make a great Sci-Fi or Shudder movie. Give it a shot if you like zombie horror.
