Nothing is safe, not even the poetic form of haiku, from an attack by zombies.

Zombie Haiku is a title that sums up the entire book with its two words. True to the haiku three-line form of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and then 5 syllables, author Ryan Mecum creates a zombie tale that is poetic yet completely disgusting. Awesome!

Mecum takes us through its 140 pages from the first attack of the zombies to the author becoming a zombie himself to his own quest for endless meat (in the form of brains, of course) to the end which I won't spoil for you.

Here's an example of the haunting haiku you will read about from Mecum:

All I think about
is how hungry I will be
Once I eat this foot.

You will not like this book if, a) you don't like zombies, b) you don't like haiku, and, c) you have a problem with zombies referring to babies as "happy meals" and the fact that the author/zombie eats his mom.

However, if you're the type of person who always takes note of how to escape from any room you're in in case of zombie attack, then this book is for you.

As a bloody bonus, gruesome photos and blood spatters accompany the text...almost as an homage to the classic illustrations of traditional haiku texts.

Finally, Mecum dedicates his horror story to the Zombie Master with this verse:

To George Romero:
Because of you I'm screwed up
Thanks for your movies.

Zombie Haiku was published in 2008 by HOW books, an imprint of F+W Publications, Inc.
