A guest review from Teen Room staff Nick!
“The city is dead.
Streets are just filled with people
who aren't quite people.”
Zombie Haiku is a contemporary work about a present day zombie apocalypse written entirely in haiku form (5, 7, 5). The book begins with a survivor who faces life against the zombie horde. The book takes us through his struggle against them, until he is bitten and eventually joins the zombie menace. The haiku's continue from the perspective of the zombie for the rest of the book. It includes illustrations which help accentuate the brutality of zombies and the distress of the survivors.
I enjoyed the oddity that this book brought about. I thought the haiku story telling, although sometimes hard to follow gave the book something different. Although at a 140 pages it was a short read, it is definitely worth the laughs for a poetry or zombie lover.
