I Am Scrooge
I Am Scrooge: A Zombie Story for Christmas | Adam Roberts
5 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Award nominated SF author Adam Roberts takes on Dickens in this festive zombie gorefest. Marley was dead. To begin with. The legendary Ebenezeer Scrooge sits in his house counting money. The boards that he has nailed up over the doors and the windows shudder and shake under the blows from the endless zombie hordes that crowd the streets hungering for his flesh and his miserly braaaaiiiiiinns! Just how did the happiest day of the year slip into a welter of blood, innards and shambling, ravenous undead on the snowy streets of old London town? Will the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future be able to stop the world from drowning under a top-hatted and crinolined zombie horde? It's the Dickensian Zombie Apocalypse - God Bless us, one and all!

Liz_M Another great sounding title -- Hark the Herald Angels Scream 😂

Is The Lost Man holiday/winter related? I've heard good things about Harper's other books!

Sometimes modern retellings of the classics are quite good and/or funny, especially the parodies. This was not. It's just the reproduction of the storyline with a lot of zombies and the jokes weren't funny at all. He didn't use the only interesting twist well.
I guess that's why you can buy it on Amazon for 0,19€.

Sarah83 Danke für die Rezension. Dann spare ich mir den Kauf. 🖒 7y
MariaW @sarah83 Wenn du's unter nem Euro kriegst, dann kannst du es nehmen. Ansonsten echt nicht, oder vielleicht das englische Original. 7y
Sarah83 Ich hab ja keinen Kindle. Von daher werde ich wohl nicht daran kommen. 😁 7y
