A Novel

De: Corey Redekop

Narrado por: Paul Costanzo

Outlandish and emotional, this humorous novel centers on Sheldon Funk, a struggling actor who dies in a bus restroom only to awaken during his autopsy and attack the coroner. Fleeing into the wintry streets of Toronto, Sheldon realizes he’s now a zombie - as if he didn’t have enough on his plate already. His last audition, reading for the reality television series House Bingo, had gone disastrously wrong. His mother is in the late stages of dementia, his savings are depleted, his agent couldn’t care less, and his boyfriend is little more than a set of nice abs. All Sheldon has to his name is a house he can barely hold onto and a cat that is more pillow than mammal. Now he also has to contend with decomposition, the scent of the open grave, and an unending appetite for human flesh - and on top of it all, there’s another audition in the morning.

In order to survive his death without literally falling apart, Sheldon must find a way to combine his old life with his new addiction, which would be a lot easier if he could stop eating vagrants. A hysterical take on fame, love, religion, politics, and appetite, this is the story of the "everyzombie" people long to be.

Coffee, tea, or BRAINS

A different spin on the zombie genre as this is told from a first person point of view. A dark humor tale interwoven with some woke nonsense and unnecessary political jabs. Some details left open to interpretation and lose ends not properly tied off at the end. It is still a bleak, violent, and humorous story.

Surprised

What a twist. Enough to keep it interesting. Completely different view point and a unique story line. Could have tied up some loose ends but over all weird and equally entertaining.

Surprisingly good

Started slow with a lot of details about character’s inner experience of changing into a zombie. I was about to give up from boredom but glad I did not. It turned out to be a fun zombie ride.
