Zombie Housewives of the 1960's
by Sharon Day (Author), Julie Ferguson (Author)
The toxic bomb apocalypse of the 1950's didn't stop Stella and Liz. These housewives reanimated and continued their days as usual, only with a hunger for living flesh. Stella, the perfect housewife, continued her housekeeping in her zombie state and Liz, the drunken, slutty divorcee housewife, stirred up a Bloody Mary and fell into her usual stupor. This book is for all things zombie, a fun and playful look at the zombie-like existence of housewives through the ages incorporating zombie tips and recipes.
Review:
A Dead Woman's Work is Never Done"
"Zombie Housewives of the Apocalypse" by Julie Ferguson and Sharon Day is a fun romp, or should I say shamble, through zombie pop culture. The book includes a nice section called "zombie artisans" including links and commentary on zombie websites, zombie artwork, zombie movies, books, games, magazines, products, comic books, etc. Having said that, the real meat (or is that brainzzzz) of the book would have to be the zombie story and eye-popping pictures.
The tale takes a look at the lives of Liz and Stella during the zombie apocalypse of an alternate timeline in the 1950s. This book is planned to be the first in a series of Zombie Housewives books covering the 60s, 70s. etc. How do Zombie Housewives deal with their zombie existence? Is this a metaphor for our everyday life? Read it and see for yourself.
By the way, check out page 57, "I'm watching you Barry Huddleston." My review may be a little biased by my inclusion in the book. I'd like to give it the unofficial title of "Barry the Handsome Zombie Book" but I'm afraid that the author wont go that far.
It's a fun coffee table book and a must-have for Halloween. Great pictures, and packed with all sorts of zombie goodness,I highly recommend it.
