Zombie Chickens Coming Home to Roost
Here at the Dead Rooster Online Entertainment Laboratories (DROEL) we are constantly on the lookout for high-quality rooster related entertainment. That’s why, this week, we were especially pleased to unearth a major work in the rare “Zombie Chicken” genre.
NEW BOOK—Cluck: Murder Most Fowl
As my loyal readers already know, I’m a big fan of Horror fiction, so when I discovered a book featuring zombie chickens—and considering the name of my blog—I nearly began to hyperventilate. So far, I’ve only read the sample pages available at Amazon, but I’m already truly impressed.
After those first few pages it became immediately apparent that author Eric D. Knapp is a serious and skillful writer and his book is going to be a delight to read, especially for those of us that love the Horror/Comedy genre.
“Ancient evils have trapped the souls of a group of hens somewhere between life and death, and Bobby Garfundephelt, trapped inside the farm must make his way though the maze of the farm while avoiding the deadly traps of the evil Rooster King and his army. Fortunately for Bobby, the Exorciste de Volaille… a sort of exorcist of poultry has caught wind of the situation and must now enter the evils of the henhouse to rescue Bobby and face off against the evil Rooster King in an epic battle.”

I’ve got a review copy on the way and intend to do a full review when I finish the book.

Hmmm…
Chickens? Awesome.
Zombies? Awesome.
CHICKEN ZOMBIES?! Not sure the world is ready for such a thing.

@Jillian,
The pages I have read so far describe the events and viewpoint of a dead rooster (I’m not kidding).
How could it fail?

I’m wondering how it is possible I have missed this author. Usually I am hanging with baited breath for Christopher Moore to put out something new… you have introduced me to a new world. Thank you for that. I can’t wait to go to the bookstore tomorrow! Especially since I am a HUGE Evil Dead fan!
And CLAIRE – you are such a dirty girl! Don’t let him take pictures for God’s sake!

@Petra,
This book seems rather tough to find at the local bookstore. I checked around and couldn’t find it anywhere except online. I still haven’t received my review copy–I can’t wait!

@Claire,
“I am so hard done by”? Is that Britishspeak? Or, were you panting when you wrote that…

Oops! No smiley face. Did I cross the line on that one? Sorry–just playing around–didn’t mean to offend.
