Snork, what happens when you turn a high priced call girl into a zombie? Well you end up with the trashy raunchy Mature Audiences Only Zombie Tramp. Yes, the book features a zombie call girl who through no fault of her own ends up killing off a bunch of people in full color gory detail. Simply awesome in so many ways that it is hard to pin down exactly where the book failed for me, because it didn’t. This is going to end up being one of the many ZomBCon Seattle wins that simply made my day when I got the chance to read it. From the description of the book:
Janey Belle was Hollywood’s hottest high priced call girl, until her Madame set her up on a date with the undead. Now she walks the night… in search of revenge! It’s sexy cool zombie time with zombie convicts, voodoo queens, and LAPD all hot on our Zombie Tramps trail! SR Graphics Presents: Zombie Tramp collects the full three issue cult favorite series from creator Dan Mendoza, all in one 112 page volume. The book also includes a bonus section featuring sketches and design artwork of the titular fetish pinup grindhouse girl!
Seriously this is an awesome book to get your hands on. This is a well done and lovingly crafted mix and mashup of so many aspects of what we consider modern horror that you can’t afford to pass this one up. If you love zombies, sexy ladies, revenge, the whole 9 yards including the kitchen sink, then you want this book. Amazingly you can get it in print on Amazon, or see if they are going to a horror convention near your home town. I had the good fortune to talk to them for a couple of minutes at ZomBCon and they are really cool people.
In all, rating this one 5 of 5, it simply rocks and is trashy, and is funny, and has everything going for it. There is a bit of trashy wonderfulness wrapped up in an engaging and entertaining story line. Yes, the Zombie Tramp is well endowed, but that is part of the charm of the whole book. There is a lot of surrealism to this, but think about it, it’s a zombie call girl, what could you do with the story line? This is one of those independents you want to see truly take off because it deserves it. It is quite simply, excellent. The authors web site is right here, and it is seriously NSFW (Not Safe For Work).
