Andy Zach Books – Zombie Turkeys
Sam Melvin, an underachieving e-reporter from a small town, changes forever when he meets turkeys that won’t stay dead. You can shoot ’em, chop ’em, burn ’em—they come back stronger. The undead plague of poultry spreads uncontrollably, rocking the whole country. As Sam tracks down the zombie turkeys and how to eradicate them, his editor, Lisa Kambacher, nags him to turn his stories and expenses in on time. During their years of working together, Lisa has mellowed from bitchy into an irascible pinchpenny.
With paranoid militias clashing with the federal government and unkillable turkeys, Sam and Lisa doubt their ability to survive. Sam and Lisa have no superpowers. If you have a heart condition or lack humor, you should not read Zombie Turkeys, no matter how much you want to find out what happens.
The handprint turkey on the cover is your first clue.

Let me start by saying that “Andy Zach” has an unusual sense of humor (or possibly has escaped from a lunatic asylum and is living under an assumed name). I invite you to check out his Amazon author page and read the bio. He’s gone all in on this zombie expert thing (since his parents were zombies) and states that he reanimated dead animals as a child for a science fair. He also currently raises phoenixes as a hobby. One more thing before starting on the story. What is that ‘thing’ on his head in his author picture?

Review Part 2
Right off the bat, you have to assume that with a title like “Zombie Turkeys” that this will be a humorous story, yet it unfolds almost like a documentary. I wanted to love it, but something didn’t fully click with me. I did LIKE it, nonetheless. There are some cute running gags about expense accounts and the occasional shift of POV to the head ZT “He felt great. He was full of energy, he had many hens to breed with, and he was the leader of a great flock.” There are plenty of other gags (like ordering a Zombie Turkey killing flame thrower from Amazon Prime) that continue to make things fun, as well as all of the way-out ways they develop to dispatch the undead turkeys.
If you have an off-beat sense of humor, give Zombie Turkeys a try. It might be right up your alley.

This book made me chuckle. I’m not a big zombie fan, but I did have a lot of fun reading Andy Zach’s tongue-in-cheek chronicle of the turkey apocalypse and America’s valiant efforts to avert it.
I loved his frequent (if brief) use of the first infected tom’s POV, I loved the recurring and mock-chilling effect of the war cry of tens of thousands–hundreds of thousands–of zombie turkeys (“Gobble! Gobble!”),

Review Part 2
I loved the several romance-blooming-during-the-Apocalypse subplots, I loved the satire of modern American Internet culture (although I was mildly surprised to discover that one really can buy a flamethrower on Amazon.com).
And since this was, after all, a zombie story with thousands of human deaths, I also appreciated the author leaving out objectionable language and descriptions that were overly-gory or overly-passionate–this is a creative decision many current writers would not have made.

Funny
What added to the Zombie Turkey situation was the author took the reader through the different towns of Illinois by a reporter working on his big story added great humor to the saga. The reader has to wonder how Mr Zach dreams up these crazy stories but they all seem to work.
