Zombie, Indiana

In the third book of his Zombie series, Scott Kenemore brings the explosive horror thriller of an undead outbreak in the city of Indianapolis. Zombie, Indiana takes place during the same timeline as the outbreaks in his books Zombie, Ohio and Zombie, Illinois, and has the same punch as the previous two.

Zombie, Indiana explores the impact of an invading zombie horde on a trio of Hoosier protagonists . . . each of whom have some dark secrets to keep. When the governor’s daughter mysteriously disappears on a field trip, IMPD Special Sergeant James Nolan, scholarship student Kesha Washington, and Governor Hank Burleson must all come together not only to find the governor’s daughter, but also to undertake a quest to redeem the very soul of the state itself . . . all while under constant attack from the living dead.

With humorous, memorable characters, tense action sequences, and brutal zombie violence, Zombie, Indiana will put readers in mind of some of the most compelling works of popular fiction. At once a mystery, a thriller, and a horror novel, Kenemore strikes again with this rollicking tour through America’s heartland that is nothing but a tour de force for zombie fiction fans!

My two-bits:

Politics, teens and zombies.

This story takes place at the start of a zombie outbreak in Indiana. The story follows characters who are trying to figure out what has become of the world while trying to reunite with loved ones and keeping safe from the threat of zombies.

Got a sense of Hoosiers and some landmarks of Indiana along the way.

I started this series with the third book and now curious to read books one and two to see how both Ohio and Illinois zombie infestations are handled.

Yet another brilliant entry in Kenemore’s zombie canon—Cap’n Hook meets the undead.

Set in the Caribbean of the eighteenth century, the epicenter of piracy, voodoo, and the dark arts, The Code of the Zombie Pirate reveals all the secrets to selecting, customizing, and managing a motley crew of pirates-cum-zombies. Imagine the consequences of pirates who have crossed the line to immortality: the breathtaking lack of respect for life—it’s the ultimate pirate dream! Kenemore advises captions in:

Selecting Zombie Pirates: Fast or slow, chatty or quiet?

Can a zombie hold a cutlass, or is it better off using its teeth? As readers will learn, pirate crews benefit from diversity.

Finding a Vessel Worthy of a Bunch of Dead Guys:

Learn the ins-and-outs of pirate ships. Which ones best suit zombies, with their unique undead benefits and drawbacks?

Flying the Zombie Pirate Flags: Learn how to instill fear with something as simple as a brain and crossbones.

Going Full Zombie: Should the reader—an aspiring Pirate King or Queen—become a member of the walking dead? There are benefits and drawbacks to this, discussed here.

This rollicking guide through the world that zombies and pirates both haunted and hunted will keep Zen of Zombie readers intrigued and win over legions of new fans.

30 color illustrations.

Amusing quote:
We are universally detested. Upon sight, our presence brings cries of alarm. Whenever we show up, people understand that something is very, very wrong.
