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.

And little do they know, but their arch enemy is among their group.

As I expected, story time at Andy’s house must include a recorder to grasp the many directions and characters he develops in each book. This set of several stories are exciting in a novel manner of disbelief overlaid with a tinge of possibility.

How many people have tasted a hummingbird zombie zucchini, a superpowered set of disabled kids with an intelligent hamster as co-partner, a phoenix genetic research specialist, all these under one cover? Well, step right up and open page one!

Each story includes ideas from his zombie turkey series and, as always, a hint of something new to come! I laughed and soaked up the words, wanting more.

Best Reviews of All Time

Zombie Apocalypse Recom Indie Authormendations

Best Reviews of All Time – I’ve gotten hundreds of reviews over ten years of writing. Here are the best ever.

Best Reviews of All Time – Zombie Turkeys

Listen to an audiobook excerpt by clicking here.

‘He felt great. He was full of energy, he had many hens to breed with, and he was the leader of a great flock.’

Sam Melvin is a reporter with the Midley Beacon, it’s a tiny local paper – with an online presence – run by its penny-pinching editor Lisa Kambacher. When Sam sees the two turkey hunters on the slab in the local mortuary, he knows he has a story to cover and he sets out to do so with great gusto.

As the zombie turkeys multiply, Sam and Lisa are the leading media team on the ground and the Midley Beacon goes international, solving their financial woes and syndicating their work across the globe. But it’s not all good news. After all, there are those people-killing zombie turkeys heading into town…

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 …

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.

Zombie Turkeys Review, Part 2

‘Wanted badly: .30-06 carbine. Will trade hunting dog or wife for it.’

This is a well-written book which takes a totally deadpan approach to a thoroughly – hysterically – funny sequence of events. It is dark comedy, so avoid if you are squeamish. The pace of the book rolls along in a perfect, unhurried way – screaming up into the action sequences and taking time to enjoy the more delicious moments of humour. The story itself is a lot deeper than many real zombie books and the explanation for the zombie phenomenon is as clever as it is satirical.

The characters are well portrayed, deep enough to engage with and care about . . . the humour is subtle, all-pervading: like the idea of the survivalist organic turkey farmer, part of a network of such, living off grid – except for ordering things from Amazon on his wife’s credit card of course…

‘The most disheartening thing was, she’d stab one through the heart, it’d drop fifteen feet to the ground with a satisfying thud, and then it’d stagger to its feet five minutes later and fly back up fifteen minutes later.’

This is a book I can recommend wholeheartedly to anyone who enjoys slow-boil satire and does not mind a few gory giblets thrown in the mix. If you want a good comedy read, you should gobble this up!

I love mysteries, and Andy Zach has come up with a fun and believable one with his “zombie Detective” book. It kept me reading to figure out the murderer. I missed the Peoria area locations from the first book, but I guess folks from other regions should get to join in the fun. Sit down, eat your grits, and enjoy another fun mystery from Andy Zach!

Best Reviews of All Time – My Undead Mother-in-law

When I started to read this book, I was leery. As far as I know, I’m less interested in zombies than anyone on the planet. How could I give a reasonable review? Turns out, it wasn’t hard at all.

I’ve said before and it turned out to be true here that, if you have a ridiculous premise that’s hard to swallow, run with it, normalize it, and readers /viewers will eventually accept. And it worked.

The original premise of cognizant, virtually indestructible zombies was lobbed and backed until I was a believer, actively rooting for zombies.

Plenty of (bloodier than average) action and some smiling, if not guffaw humor. Plus, a nice fulfilling story arc in an easy readable length made for a fun book. (If bloody action doesn’t bother you). With charm that didn’t take itself to seriously but still capable of many a tender and touching moments. I’m glad my prejudice didn’t keep me from enjoying this out-of-the-common-way story.

Chapter 12 – Criminal

Zombie Detective New Excerpt
Criminal chapter icon

Sam walked into the office in Chicago Police Headquarters. “Superintendent Howell?”

“Yes. Please call me Gary, Sam.” A big smile creased his brown face below his glasses and bald head.

“Sure, Gary.”

“I’ve prepared a briefing for you. Here are the videos in time order.” Superintendent Howell pushed a button on his computer, and a wall-sized screen lit up, playing a black-and-white security video. A man wearing a ski mask punched a car window, opened the door, and took out a computer bag and a cell phone.

“That was the first crime. Here’s the next.” The same man knocked out a store’s plate-glass window and grabbed a television.

Your Thirteenth Literary Gift

Sam watched all twelve videos with Gary Howell. They all happened late at night, all the break-ins done by the man’s fist. In the last video, taken from a policeman’s body camera, the man was shot, and he stumbled but kept running and vaulted over a six-foot barbed-wire fence, clearing it with a foot to spare.

“Whoa! I can see why zombiism is suspect number one.”

“Yes. We never found the bullets that were shot, and our video analysis show the man was hit in the leg and the back.”

“And then did the Olympic high-jump stunt.”

“Yes. We also analyzed his speed before the jump. Thirty miles per hour.”

“So an Olympic sprinter as well as a jumper. Have you interviewed any decathletes in Chicago?”
