Delicious Zombie

Wol-Vriey presents a darkly satirical vision in Delicious Zombie, published by Burning Bulb Publishing in 2022. The narrative explores a world where the undead serve as livestock for humans seeking eternal youth. Scientists have proven that consuming zombie meat reverses aging and cures diseases, leading to a society free of old people and illness. This biological miracle has birthed the Church of Zombie, which preaches that digestion is salvation. The plot follows scientist Ethan Hackman, former CIA assassin Paula Neyman, and socialite Zoe Patterson as they attempt to halt this grotesque cycle. Their mission draws the attention of ruthless bounty hunters who hunt them across the landscape. The story balances scientific speculation with gothic horror tropes, examining the moral decay of a population obsessed with immortality. Violence and gore are central to the narrative, depicting the brutal reality of harvesting undead flesh. The book appeals to readers who enjoy black comedy mixed with supernatural thriller elements. It may not suit those seeking traditional zombie survival stories or those uncomfortable with graphic depictions of mutilation and bloodshed. The author uses a fast-paced structure to keep tension high as the protagonists evade their pursuers. This work sits within the tradition of satirical horror fiction, using absurd premises to critique societal values regarding age and health. It reflects contemporary anxieties about longevity and the lengths people might go to preserve youth. The narrative style is direct and unflinching, focusing on the visceral consequences of the characters' choices rather than abstract philosophical debates.
