Breathers
Breathers: A Zombie's Lament | S.G. Browne
3 posts | 13 read | 7 to read
For fans of Max Brooks’s The Zombie Survival Guide and zombie aficionados everywhere, a hilarious debut novel about life (and love) after death. Meet Andy Warner, a recently deceased everyman and newly minted zombie. Resented by his parents, abandoned by his friends, and reviled by a society that no longer considers him human, Andy is having a bit of trouble adjusting to his new existence. But all that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls in Rita, an impossibly sexy recent suicide with a taste for the formaldehyde in cosmetic products, and Jerry, a twenty-one-year-old car-crash victim with an exposed brain and a penchant for Renaissance pornography. When the group meets a rogue zombie who teaches them the joys of human flesh, things start to get messy, and Andy embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will take him from his casket to the SPCA to a media-driven class-action lawsuit on behalf of the rights of zombies everywhere. Darkly funny, surprisingly touching, and gory enough to satisfy even the most discerning reader, Breathers is a romantic zombie comedy (rom-zom-com, for short) that will leave you laughing, squirming, and clamoring for more.

I definitely have a soft spot for zombies. Here are two different takes on the #zombie book. Breathers is billed as a zom-rom-com (zombie rom-com). It does have it's funny moments, but the zombies also try to win back their rights that have been taken away by the Breathers. A Questionable Shape is more of an existential zombie novel. More high-brow, with lots of philosophical discussions about what it means to "be" a zombie. #RockinMay
