Comments for Zombies Calling

Zombies Calling: 05/02/14

Zombies Calling by Faith Erin Hicks is a humorous look at what an attack by zombies would be like in a Canadian university. Everything starts when Joss wants to take a break from studying for finals and would prefer to be anywhere else, including in the middle of a zombie movie. Quickly though she regrets that wish!

Joss, the zombie movie obsessed main character, has to rethink her assessment of zombies in light of a zombie attack. They don't seem to be following the script she's expecting. She also comes to realize that a zombie attack in a country with strict gun laws might not be such a good idea.

I laughed repeatedly while reading Zombies Calling, though I did end up with "London Calling" by the Clash stuck in my head for the rest of the night after I finished the book. I posted some of my favorite panels to Tumblr too.
