There's nothing quite so terrifying as a corpse that moves, a creature that even death can't stop. It's all the worse when the living dead is someone you love...

"There's a small, small, small little dead thing in dinosaur overalls he has to either kill or be killed by and the last time Marcus slept eight hours he was twenty-four and the last time anybody touched him kindle and on purpose was Cal."

? I don't know if I would want to survive the zombie apocalypse y'all - it sounds pretty bleak.

BookishFeminist Yep no thanks 🙅🏻 8y

LOVED IT! This collection of zombie stories really runs the gamut: zombification of soldiers through wartime experiments, necromancers creating zombies (both good and evil), people turning into life sized porcelain dolls, dead lovers brought back as "ghosts," and the soulless undead who just want to eat your brains. Oh and did I mention the lesbian, gay, bisexual, nonbinary and trans characters (most as MCs)? Fantastic stories and characters! ??

😆 This is definitely me when the zombie apocalypse hits. Which apparently means my love of books is going to get my girlfriend zombified and beheaded. 👀

BookishFeminist 😂😂😂 this is maybe not the best zombie apocalypse survival technique but what is living without books. WHAT IS LIVING WITHOUT BOOKS. 8y
kammartinez "Think of the books people! THINK OF THE BOOKS!" Yep, 100% me when the apocalypse happens XD. 8y
Yamich49 @BookishFeminist @kammartinez Right? Like who wants to live in a world without books anyway? Pshhhhhh 8y
Zelma I always get anxious thinking of a post-apocalyptic world without books. Especially when I think about that Twilight Zone Episode where the last man on earth breaks his glasses. 😱👀👓 8y

👌🏽Way to seize the opportunity to make a good bi joke there Lexa. 😆

BookishFeminist 😂😂 how are your queer zombie stories going? 8y
Yamich49 @BookishFeminist FANTASTIC. It's amazing to read some cool zombie stories that just happen to have girlfriends running off to save their girlfriends and guys falling in love with nice zombie dudes. 🙌🏽🙌🏽 8y
BookishFeminist "Nice zombie dudes" ? 8y
Yamich49 @BookishFeminist LOL honestly that's the best description of that character I can come up with. Without giving any spoilers at least. He is definitely a nice dude who just happens to be undead. 😉😆 8y
Broke_Girl_Reads @Yamich49 "a nice dude who just happens to be undead" even sounds like a tinder bio 8y

So this week I started a book blog, joined NetGalley and requested about twenty titles already! 😬 Most of the ones I requested so far have been queer books and most of them have been approved so now I'm feeling the pressure to read them soon. Not a bad situation for sure. This is one of them and perfect for October: queer zombie short stories! Thanks to Litsy for adding it to the database so quickly. I'm loving the ones I've read so far - spoopy!

BookishFeminist Queer zombie short stories is the most Jenna book you could read. 😆 I see you're also staying 💯💯 on brand with #creeplife. 👻😂😂 8y
Yamich49 @BookishFeminist Right? 😆😆 I read the synopsis and was touched that someone pulled this short story collection together just for me! 😉 I'm just trying to live by your example, gotta keep that #creeplife brand strong! 👻 8y
Bibliogeekery Ooo, I'm excited for even more #queerbooks suggestions from you! 8y
Yamich49 @Bibliogeekery Oh yeah, I will have SO many new #queerbooks suggestions - it's gonna be awesome. 🤓 I've just gotta make sure they're all added to the Litsy database so I can review them! 8y
