Z is for Zombie--Adam Troy Castro
I picked this up off of Netgalley on a lark.
This is what I think you would call a "typical zombie book." There is the bleak outlook--the apocalypse of numbers and more than a little grue and gore.
And yet, like Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead there is more than a little amusing about it. First it is an alphazombie book, carrying us through the traditional alphabetical recital of things beginnng with a certain letter related to zombies. Second there are moments in some of the 26 very short stories that are amusing--some are laugh-out-loud funny.
Overall, given that it will take the reader perhaps twenty minutes to peruse--I'd recommend it to the Zombie class. Others can easily give this one a miss.
