Zombie Turkeys by Andy Zach is a wild horror comedy about one very unexpected apocalypse.
When small town reporter Sam Melvin discovers turkeys that won’t stay dead, what seems like a strange local story quickly turns into nationwide chaos. The birds can’t be killed, they just come back stronger, and soon the country is overrun.
Teaming up with his sharp, no nonsense editor Lisa, Sam chases the biggest story of his life while trying to avoid becoming turkey dinner himself. The tone is fast, gory, and deliberately over the top, mixing satire with full blown absurdity.
If you enjoy horror that doesn’t take itself too seriously and like your apocalypse with a heavy dose of dark humor, Zombie Turkeys is a chaotic, entertaining ride

Restarting the Apocalypse – Old Trials Anew – Book 4

Best of 2026 Reviews  -

Len and his friend Rich continue to prepare the world for a massive apocalypse of mana bursting out of storms and dungeons. They both got new lives after they died when this happened previously. They found themselves in their 18-year-old bodies with all their knowledge of years of surviving when the apocalypse first occurred.

Now, in the fourth book, they must prepare for and face the first dungeon outbreak. Powerful creatures, twice as strong as Len and Rich, come boiling out of the dungeon by the thousands.

And there’s a civil war going on in their country, at the same time.

Rich and Len have prepared a fortress and a city to withstand the outbreak. Will it be strong enough, or must they destroy all their work to save the world?

Best of 2026 Reviews – Summary Blurb

Civil war is brewing, but Harmonia’s dungeon might end Yorel before the first banner is raised.

Len steps out of Kreni Hall without Rick or the other Titans, Daniela, and Dennis.

King Eardin, whose death sparked the Plynthia Civil War in his last life, is alive and well, summoning Rick to a ball in Eskon City. A ball where he aims to reassert his dominion as King of Plynthia.

An outcome that neither his sons nor their supporters desire. Rick is needed, and Len will go. Now is not the time Goran wants to be drawing the attention of others. Not when their focus is on Harmonia’s growing threat.
They’ve changed the Titans’ fates, brought Dennis and Daniela into the fight, and pushed their skills past anything they had in their last lives.

It’s not enough. Harmonia dungeon spawns Rare grade creatures, over a hundred levels stronger than even Len. The Goran Army has been growing stronger, but not strong enough to face this threat head-on.

If the dungeon’s creatures ever break free, nothing on Yorel can stop them.

Threshold doesn’t just guard Goran or Plynthia—it’s the line between Yorel and annihilation. If the dungeon’s creatures escape, if Threshold falls, Yorel falls with it.

They’ve already watched Yorel die once. If they fail to control Harmonia, they’ll watch it happen again.

And this time, there’s no reset.

I got a new review! Someone likes Diane Newby.

My Undead Mother-in-law: The Family Zombie With Anger Management Issues (Life After Life Chronicles)

imageBarbara

Fun adventure with some twisted humor

March 22, 2026

Once more, Andy Zach has transported us into his odd but wonderful world. This story is a bit different from his first two books, which introduced us to a new type of zombie and the regular folks who had to step up and deal with these regenerating monsters. This time, a new threat is introduced, and our heroes have to learn to control zombies in order to face it. Ian Fleming would have been a fan of this adventure. I loved reading this book and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys an action-adventure mystery with a bit of twisted humor.

My Undead Mother-in-law back cover

My mother-in-law’s a zombie. And she has anger-management issues.

My mother-in-law, Diane Newby, zombified by accident. She still volunteers at her church bake sales and cooks pot roast for her daughter and son-in-law, Ron Yardley. What ticks her off is when people don’t treat her like a normal human being—with glowing red eyes and super strength and speed. And if she doesn’t get her own way, look out. She explodes and leaves broken plaster and body parts in her wake. Nothing stops her: not brick walls, the federal government, or middle-aged spread.

But the world’s most powerful criminal plans to control zombies. His only problem with zombies is that they have way too much free will. He has a solution for that. But will it work with Diane Newby?

The world divides into pro-zombie and anti-zombie factions. Battles break out everywhere. Which side will you take? Who will live and who will die?

You might not survive this book. But at least you’ll die laughing.

Your Classic Zombies Versus Aliens Novel– What It’s About

My Undead Mother-in-law and her zombie family are hired by the US government as privateers. Their mission: go to places too dangerous or sensitive for direct US intervention.

Happy Mother's Day
Zombies Versus Aliens
Diane Newby, in her natural environment.

After missions to Somalia, Sevastopol, London, and North Korea, they meet a new challenge: aliens! A flying saucer lands on the White House lawn seeking to make a deal with the US–and all the other nations in the world.

Middle-aged, overweight, and undead, Diane Newby leads the paranormal privateers against criminals and corruption. Sailing to trouble spots too sensitive for the US government, with zombie strength and regeneration they beat bullies into submission. Aided by zombie turkeys, corgis, and bulls, vicious criminal geniuses fall before them. If Diane gets overwhelmed by foes, her lovely zombie bodyguards and romantic zombie husband come to the rescue.

Zombies charge first, ask questions later.

Out of the blue, new foes appear. Or are they friends? Or both? The frenemies neutralize zombies and orchestrate world peace. They disrupt the economy and produce fabulous wealth. Even the greatest criminals and governments can’t stop them from dominating the world.

Can humanity afford the price of peace? All must surrender freedom to a not-so-benign dictatorship. Diane and the paranormal privateers must do the unthinkable to save humanity. But is it enough?

In an explosive and unconventional ending to Andy Zach’s Life After Life Chronicles, you will learn what happens when the paranormal privateers meet the world’s greatest fear. And you will laugh all the way.

Your Classic Zombies Versus Aliens–Meet The Crew You’ll Never Forget

The following description of George Newby was written by her son-in-law, Ron Yardley.

A heavy tread down the stairs announced George Newby. His eyes shone red too, but while Diane was built like a middle-aged woman, George was a classic wide-body. His shoulders filled the stairway. You’d think he was a truck driver or a lineman rather than an accountant.

“Hi, Karen. Hi, Ron,” he rumbled. He hugged his daughter, as if he held a baby bird, and shook my hand without hurting me in his bratwurst fingers. His bright-red eyes looked squarely into mine.

George and Diane are also on the back cover of Paranormal Privateers.

Action, humor, refreshing zombies; Yes please!

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2022

This series is the first I have read of Andy Zach’s and I am glad I picked it up! The series continues with lots of action, characters continue to be developed, humor, and the zombies are still not mindless shells ambling around awaiting an axe to the head.

Still a refreshing take on zombies as a whole. I look forward to what Andy writes next!

Audio Version: Phil Blechman and Raven Perez do a great job with their respective characters and the overall narration.

Great Book! Fun Twist to Zombie Story!

Whew! Lots of stories within stories with a wink of incredulity as we read along the pages. Tongue-in-cheek adventures, modern day villains’, and zombies; wait, are they still zombies or not? Yep, we have that zombie virus run amok with various creations to transform them back and forth. How much of a zombie body do you need to regenerate?

Gung-ho leader of the group Diane Newby, husband George, are charging on fighting crime with the discreet eye of the government as their silent partners. Somali pirates, Harrod’s London Store with real bulls in the china shop, parasitic cyborgs, virus-antivirus, bacteria, and other minute details tangle the story line into a braided rug of conspiracies and innovative solutions.

The book picks up shortly after the last one. Early conversations recap the previous events to bring you up to speed. The story has action, adventure, comedy, and even romance. With something for everyone I recommend giving it a try.
