The Infects
Age 14+
General Fiction
“An allusive horror novel that engages in philosophical, social, and humanist critique while providing plenty of laugh-out-loud moments." —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)
A feast for the brain, this gory and genuinely hilarious take on zombie culture simultaneously skewers, pays tribute to, and elevates the horror genre. Serving up a cast of irreverent, slightly twisted characters, an unexpected villain, and an ending you won’t see coming, here is a savvy tale that’s a delight to read — whether you’re a rabid zombie fan or freshly bitten — and an incisive commentary on the evil that lurks within each of us. Paperback edition includes a bonus list of the Ten Worst Zombie Movies Ever Imagined.
