"This worked both as a zombie story and as a Prairie Home Companion parody. The author nailed the tone of Keillor, and also the history of zombie lore. It's a quick, silly read that I'd only recommend if you like zombies or public radio."

    " Pretty funny concept but not for an entire book. I only got through the first 50 some pages which was enough. "

    " This book was extremely enjoyable. The story effortlessly satirizes small town midwest and all its disfunction as the community of Lake Woebegotten works to survive zombie apocalypse. "

    " This was a fun listen-the narrator sounds strikingly similar to GK (wink, wink, nudge, etc.) Was a tad confusing listening when certain plot points were revealed without all the info - i thought for sure the discs were in error until I looked at a copy of the book. Otherwise this was an entertaining listen. Would be great for a road trip! "

    " If you hunger for zombie lit, this is certainly worth a read. It's the Prairie Home Companion version of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, all the children are above average and all the undead are voraciously hungry. "

    " This was a good solid zombie story with a few good yuks. I wouldn't say it's as funny as some of the other comedy-zombie options out there, but it was certainly a good read. It had some interesting characters, and unique scenarios. "

About Harrison Geillor

Harrison Geillor was born in a small three-room farmhouse in central Minnesota sometime in the middle of the twentieth century. He attended one of Minnesota’s prestigious institutions of higher learning, where he obtained a degree in English. Like English majors everywhere, he wanted on to work in a variety of jobs that had nothing to do with books or literature. At some point in his life he decided that the best way to appreciate Minnesota was to appreciate it from afar. He splits his time between Santa Cruz and San Francisco, only returning to Minnesota for smelt fishing, and the occasional family reunion.
