Zombie: Youth's survival amidst family secrets, violence

If you’re a fan of zombie movies with an affinity for coming-of-age novels, Zombie by J.R. Angelella is the perfect fit. Set in Catholic school, a teenage Jeremy takes refuge in zombie movies and learns valuable lessons on survival. His twisted family secrets are exposed in the most gruesome way imaginable, leading to a startling and unforgettable climax. The use of horror as a metaphor for the harsh realities of life adds depth to the plot and promises a wild ride from beginning till end.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A zombie movie-obsessed teen is forced to face a dark family secret in this shocking debut literary novel from a talented new author.

Wow! A crazy, wicked knock-out of a book! -Garth Stein

Fourteen-year-old Jeremy Barker attends an all-boys Catholic high school where roving gangs of bullies make his days a living hell. His mother is an absentee pillhead, his older brother a self-diagnosed sex-addict, and his father disappears night after night without explanation. Jeremy navigates it all with a code cobbled together from the zombie movies he's obsessed with: Night of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later, Planet Terror, Zombieland, and Dawn of the Dead among others.

The code is put to the test when he discovers in his father's closet a bizarre homemade video of a man strapped to a bed, being prepped for some sort of surgical procedure. As Jeremy attempts to trace the origin of the video, this remarkable debut moves from its sharp, precocious beginnings to a climax of almost unthinkable violence, testing him, and the reader, to the core.
