The Christmas Zombie

Yesterday, I mentioned that I was reading THE STUPIDEST ANGEL by Christopher Moore. Now that I’ve finished it, I feel like it needs an entire post to itself. Christopher Moore is great. He writes really funny tongue in cheek type paranormal. One of his vampire books is called BITE ME.

Since it’s Christmas, I decided to read Christopher Moore’s Christmas story, THE STUPIDEST ANGEL. It is about a Christmas angel who travels to Earth to grant a special Christmas Miracle to one lucky kid. The kid he chooses witnessed a drunk guy in a Santa suit die. So his wish is for Santa to come back to life.

What does this stupid angel do? Turn Santa into a Zombie of course. The book is really funny, and not very scary. I just think it’s such a great idea. We’ve had Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. So why not Santa and Zombies. If you are looking for a fun holiday read this year, I have to recommend THE STUPIDEST ANGEL.

Please note, this book is not written for children. And many young children may be traumatized by the idea of a zombie Santa. So I wouldn’t recommend this book for anyone under 12.
