Greetings my shambling shuffling friends!
Have you ever read a good book about a close knit community of decent people, one of those stories that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, with zombies? It sounds like a difficult combination but it works out great in:
THE ZOMBIES OF LAKE WOEBEGOTTEN, by Harrison Geillor and Night Shade Books, www.nightshadebooks.com.
If the town of Mayberry from the Andy Griffith Show was a real place, and became the setting for George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, the THE ZOMBIES OF LAKE WOEBEGOTTEN would be the result. Author Harrison Geillor has written a special zombie story, extra gorey in a Mayberry kinda way.
The novel starts with an ice fisherman awaking in the middle of the night with the urge to relieve his plumbing. Stepping out of his ice fishing shack and relieving himself he notices a meteorite streaking overhead and then exploding into twinkling cosmic dust high in the atmosphere. Upon re-entering his ice fishing shack, the dead fish in his cooler begin flopping about and falling to the ground around the cooler. The poor guy cuts off their lil fishy heads but the heads keep moving, so he has to throw them down the fishing hole in the ice.
The next day at the grocery store, the owner and his employee encounter the badly injured lil dog of old man Levitt, ( well only after the grocery store owner has sex with a local woman, who has a husband that wont have sex with her, and she assumes that it is because he is seeing another woman, but is really sexually aroused by his sports car....yeah that fetish!)
The lil dog of old man Levitt has his hind legs all twisted around like he has been hit by a car, and wont stop snapping at peoples ankles. So they capture it and try to return the lil ankle biter to old man Levitt.
Upon pulling up to the house of old man Levitt, they hear a chainsaw, and go busting through the front door to find.....
Mr. LEVITT
Old man Levitt is just shy of 80 years old and is in the process of chainsawing a zombies head off. Three more stumble into the living room from the kitchen behind him, he turns, and very nimbly for a man his age, chainsaws another zombie cutting off both arms at the elbow before sawing out its legs from under it.
Mr. Levitt is having a zombie problem on account of all the bodies he has buried in his basement. Old man Levitt is the town serial killer who dispatches door to door salesmen. (Something we all wish we could do.)
They lock up Mr. Levitt in the town jail cell, but with no judge coming from the city, what with all the zombies and it being the end of the world, they decide to let Mr. Levitt do what he does best...only against zombies of course.
But the problem with letting a serial killer only kill the already dead is the same problem you encounter with a man who masterbates, it may give him temporary relief, but it is not the same as sex.
How will old man Levitt find release? The kind that only a serial killer would enjoy.
How will the end of the world effect the nice townspeople of Lake Woebegotten and what other secrets and fetishes are they hiding from each other?
What will the children find in the baby cradle of baby jesus during the christmas play, and who put it there?
You will have to read this hilarious, sweet, and gorey zombie story to find out.
THE ZOMBIES OF LAKE WOEBEGOTTEN is available through www.nightshadebooks.com and www.amazon.com .
Thanks for reading, and till my next post, I will be shuffling along with the lost.
