If you're looking for something that's different from your everyday
zombie gorefest, if you want a zombie novel with actual brains, and
a mouth that cannot be silenced, try The Last Weekend. It's
killer.
--Strange Horizons "In The Last Weekend, it is the shades of
Charles Bukowski, Henry Miller, John Fante and other hard-drinking
scribblers who haunt the pages. ... Mamatas finds new life in the
old apocalyptic cliches, and even this late in the zombie craze, he
manages to deliver a highly caustic and entertaining
end-of-the-world satire."
--San Francisco Chronicle "Nick Mamatas crafts a clever blend of
multiple genres that is equal parts heartfelt, fearful, and funny.
The Last Weekend is a headshot to a tiresome trope. I loved
it!"
--Brian Keene, author of The Rising and The Last Zombie "Mamatas's
wisecracking philosophical undead opus vivisects genre stereotypes
and moral preconceptions with viciousness and style . . . focused
intimacy and sustainable dark humor will delight both zombie fans
and readers looking for some moral questioning and emotional
substance."
--Publishers Weekly "Mamatas is adept at creating menacing
scenarios that induce cognitive dissonance, i.e., "Do I laugh here,
cringe, or both?" An unusual effect; one I admire."
--Buy Zombie If you're looking for something that's different from
your everyday zombie gorefest, if you want a zombie novel with
actual brains, and a mouth that cannot be silenced, try The Last
Weekend. It's killer.
