A Zombie bit Myffanie
A satirical novel about saving property value during a zombie outbreak.
Carr writes a comedy that prioritizes real estate over human life. Barry and Myfanie face a literal end of days but worry about their home's worth. The cosmetics lab accident serves as the inciting incident for the chaos. Their garage extension is the central plot device driving their actions. This focus creates a humorous contrast with typical zombie narratives. The story critiques materialism through absurd circumstances. It does not offer scientific explanations for the infection. Instead, it highlights the ridiculousness of caring about assets during extinction. The setting remains confined to the village and its immediate dangers. Characters react with selfishness rather than heroism. This angle provides a fresh take on a well-worn subject.
This book sits within the contemporary horror comedy tradition, published in 2021. It reflects modern anxieties about housing markets and financial stability.
