Book Review: ZombieStop Parade
Zombies are the majority. They are the brainless monsters following after the minority, who despite their lack of numbers, still run the world. ZombieStop Parade is not about zombies, or at least not the regular kind.
Richard Buzzell, in his book ZombieStop Parade, takes readers through the pages of a personal journal of our protagonist, Corky, and his best friend, ZombieStopperUno. Corky and ZombieStopperUno are out to do one thing–reanimate the millennial generation’s zombie population. This book does not recount a story of the living dead, but rather that of the American “zombies” who take their orders from corporate America.
At age twelve Corky and ZombieStopper set up the counter culture website “ZombieStop.” This is a place for the dislodged youth of generation next to connect with others who are equally displeased with the course the earth is taking, and for the most part has remained a small online refuge for the like-minded.
However, two fire bombings that fit the MO of the pair’s website have hightened the popularity of ZombieStop. This alerts the attention of the public, the media, and the authorities. The perpetrator is identified as “The Jackal,” and it is questioned throughout the text as to whether he is one of our two main characters.
What is most worthwhile in this novel is the storytelling itself. ZombieStop Parade is a great example of pop fiction at its best, employing the tactic of the snark to highest satirical effect. This work is quick, entertaining, and challenging–and will appeal to readers looking for the next wave in fiction.
