First, the Best Email Fan Comments

In a recent newsletter, I encouraged fans to respond to this picture. Boy did they!

I asked my fans to explain how this photo was created. Here are the two best responses:

From “Spam Collector”:

Seriously, look at the lower part of the iceberg. Colors and shapes are too
perfect. Nothing in the background even though there is land or other bergs?

Photoshop.

Then, from Howard:

I assume it is a photo on top and an artist’s rendering below for several reasons.

1, the physics.  the ice would not be stable in that position.  it would turn on its side.  Just as a sheet of ice on a pond does not point up and down.

2. the optics.  there is not as much detail in the bottom as the top.

3. unless illuminated artificially, the bottom would be in darkness, and the top brighter. Water absorbs visible light. so there should be a gradient illumination.

4. Pictures I have seen of real icebergs tend to look more like somewhat smooshed Hershey’s kisses. Kind of pointier on the top and kind of a blob below.

I awarded Howard the free ebook.

Second, Best Goodreads Fan Comment Follows

Goodreads doesn’t get the traffic Amazon does, but there are great book fans there!

From author E.M. Swifthook:

This was a book I picked up with trepidation as it seemed all too possible it would be a ‘one trick pony’ stretching a single joke to beyond breaking point across the length of an entire novel. Wrong! It is like a bowl of potpourri on the sideboard of life – lots of subtle blending examples of humour – many of them very American so I suspect there were even more than I noticed, handicapped by my British perspective. This is a book that takes ironic comedy to a whole new level – maybe ‘steelic’ comedy…? Humour is a very personal thing, but this book hit me right on the funny bone.

Third, Best Amazon Fan Comment

I still like this next one, even a year later!

Now for the literary bang–and I don’t mean an interrobang. Here’s a Zombie Turkeys bang:

4.0 out of 5 stars

Miss Goosebumps? Have Fun With Zombie Turkeys!

By Rik Ty on July 17, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

What was most surprising to me about Andy Zach’s Zombie Turkeys? – that is qualified as an actual adventure story! I wasn’t expecting that. About a quarter way in, when a young reporter gets the assignment to follow a swarm of 10,000 rampaging turkeys into a stretch of unfamiliar woodlands, it actually grabbed my attention while I was driving, and I was scared for the reporter (even without the zombie element, 10.000 turkeys is a LOT, and being a reporter is no protection against 10,000 wild animals).

We get a little bit of everything in this novel. The prologue is very funny. There is plenty of carnage, the author has plenty of fun envisioning industrial scale defenses against zombie turkey hordes. There is nice wish-fulfillment as a small-time newspaper becomes wildly successful reporting on the zombie-turpocalypse. Finally, there is also nice wish-fulfillment as the reporter finds ways to survive, the reporting teams grow and expand, and even as love finds its way into the mix.

Part 2

There are two major comedic set pieces included in the novel: a turkey dinner at the Whitehouse (which had a funny moment (to me), where Michele Obama encourages her children to walk across the backs of the secret service agents, and says something along the lines of “Go ahead sweetheart – that’s what they’re there for.”) The second major comedic piece involves professional sports and fandom – when a zombie horde overruns a stadium, fans compete to see which band of hooligans can kill the greater number of invading turkeys – it is a broad set-piece that gets richer and richer as it plays out.

A book with the title of “Zombie Turkeys” promises light entertainment, and that is delivered. There is more adventure than I expected, and slightly less direct comedy — the characters play their scenes straight. The comedy is in the absurdity of the events (at least for me).
Fans of zombie fiction should definitely give it a try. Graduates of the “Goosebumps” books (and there are a LOT of them) might also really enjoy it. Fun. Gruesome yes, but fun (and very friendly).
