Zen and the Art of Cannibalism: A Zomedy
When a harebrained scheme to swipe forty pounds of pot from Russian mobsters goes awry, the Wizard thinks he's got problems. But when a giant evil talking dog shows up and starts raising the dead, things get a little more complicated. As the end grows nigh, it's up to Wiz and his ragtag cohorts (along with a binge-drinking voodoo god) to fend off the hungry horde. Will they make it? Or will everything go up in smoke? A hilarious, gut-busting, skull-crunching homage to B-movies everywhere. Funnier than The Illyad... Scarier than Brokeback Mountain... Dumber than Breakfast of Champions... Significantly shorter than Dune... It's Zen and the Art of Cannibalism.

K. This book.
...You know, it almost feels weird to call it a book when played very much like a movie in my head; it got the smiles, winces, and laughs the way a film would. It also left me with that satisfied aura of a story well told, jokes well delivered. I actually guffawed at several points. (Note that is coming from a person who is unbelievably hard to move. Seriously I have no soul). It's snarky and gritty. Love it.
I wanted to take a moment and list off my favourite parts ...but I won't because it's a long enough list that it would be easier if you just picked up the book. Trust me on this one. ...Oh fine, I'll at least give you the confirmation that zombies here are treated in such an original way that I'd never seen done before .
This is one of those reads that lift bad moods - especially if that bad mood comes with hating people, because it makes clever remarks about society that will sate your cynical pallet but will also elevate your mood back into something fun. I don't get how something dark can also be so very light at the same time, but it is. If you are looking for a feel-good book that isn't all flowers and rainbows, then I'd recommend starting here.
