Vegan Zombie Apcolypse has its own vocabulary (questioning any possible typos such p. 42 "...now's a good time to intimate me of your research" or "Haeven"). Vocabulary includes: Humancow- womancow, mancow; blood potatoes; meatsoil; Vegfarm; cuntbag; DEZA- Decadent European-Style Zombie Aristocracy; brainshit; cuntdoors; necros; sponge rat tampons; codom-worm; death rafts; Haeven; cockrockets; zombinator; were-zombies; humanosaurs; xombina. I found descriptions or metaphors referencing zombie movies a bit annoying. Examples include: p.26 "Raw or cooked, human meat made zombies sick, an actuality nothing like what had been portrayed in pre-undead-holocaust screen flicks." p.72 "...resembling more than anything else constructs from ancient movies about life after the apocalypse." p.136 "...we degenerate back into the shambling horrors of ancient human movies." p. 243 "They looked like the red 'kill' smears in ancient videogames." p.257 "Finally with blood potato stacks at practically zero, most zombies reverted for good back to 'old time Hollywood mode'--mindless creatures with only one thing on their minds--brains." The language was quite vulguar and potentially offensive; Fuck; Cunt; and Shit were commonly used in various forms. However, the book was very imaginative, enterataining, and transported me into his world. (  ) sar96 | Jan 2, 2014 | Review: Definitely, a bizarre page-turner.

In fact, I think I’m pretty far from the targeted audience for this book. See, I like odd and I like unique. I love different. I love something that breaks the mould of the tropes we see so often. I love something that can create something completely new and unexpected. I don’t mind if this includes scads of wackiness and weirdness and totally off the wall re-interpretations. But I’m not a big fan of random stuff bring thrown together for the sake of it being random. A book with oddness works for me, a book that seems to be cobbled together from weird fever dreams is likely to lose me unless it has something underlying it. This book crossed the line to just being random for the sake of it. But it didn’t do that through the story. There was a story there – a truly bizarre story of a post-zombie apocalypse. A story of humans gets as living fields in which potatoes the zombies rely on to keep themselves conscious and capable – humans little more than cattle, slowly dying without names – that’s amazingly original. Zombies that actually explode on contact with human brains – I love it. The strange post-apocalyptic cult of humans that consume zombies in accordance to the bizarre tenets of their gods. Both zombies and the cultists hunt the ever-dwindling supply of the free humans We have an escapee from one of the human farms and a heretic from the zombie-eating cult, meeting up in the wilderness, both hunted by their respective groups but perhaps, together, able to create a new future. Hey, that actually sounds pretty awesome Then we get the Lemon Tree to the misspelt heavens, a meat deity and zombie-eating brains (no, really, that isn’t a mistake) and super dinosaurs and werezombies and super heroes and the Sun doing something even more odd and terminator zombie and… ye gods I have no idea. It’s at this point where a potentially awesome story is well and truly drowned under all the extra wackiness that is shoe-horned in whichever way possible. I feel the author tried too hard to make this story so different that throwing in weird stuff took precedence over everything else. It was less a story to be told and more a public declaration of how very weird and quirky it (and the author) is.

At least that's what Wol-Vriey's premise is for this wickedly subversive zombie tale that is nasty, disgusting, vulgar, obscene, misogynistic, did I say disgusting, and gleefully offensive (sometimes solely for the sake of being offensive. Ok, most times for the sake.) So it's humans against zombies, humans against humans, and zombies against humans by default. Or something like that. There's also the imperfect religion worshipping the imperfect god who imperfectly took over after God and Satan washed their hands of this imperfect world. It would be easy to dismiss this book as a piece of zombie tripe (a delicacy in the book), but that would be denying the author his due. There is actually something quite ingenious going on here. Wol-Vriey not only plays by his own rules, but he has his brains and gets to eat them too. As he destroys the zombie sub-genre's time-honored rules, he pays homage to them by giving them a place in history as the "zombie stone age." Unfortunately, the story ran out of steam and the last 60 pages just seemed like a convienent wrap-up to the story and left a foul taste in my mouth. But until that time, it was a hoot! This rating is not based on the skill of the author in terms of narration or characterization, but on the entertainment value I derived from his seemly endless imagination and his willingness to offend in the name of that entertainment. Take that for what it's worth. Recommended for those people who have strong stomachs, find humor in the pervese, and like their blood-potatoes raw. All others, you've been warned.

VEGAN ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE: In the post-apocalypse worlderness, zombies rule the earth. They're allergic to meat, and brains literally make them explode. Zombies now eat blood potatoes, parasitic tubers grown in the flesh of humancows corralled in maximum security farms. The necros, barbaric human nomads travelling the worlderness in floating villages, worship the zombies. The necros both eat the zombies, and wear clothes made from them; they live in houses built of bricks of undead flesh.They also keep zombies as sex slaves. Two fugitives meet in the ancient ruins of Texas. The first is Soil 15-f, a womancow who's escaped her farm a week before she's due to be killed and her blood potato crop harvested. The second fugitive is Able Kane, former head necros food technician, now sentenced to death for heresy. But Soil is no ordinary humancow. Unknown to herself, she's the vegan zombie agricultural revolution, and the zombies desperately want her back.And the necros equally desperately want Able Kane dead. He's fled with a forbidden discovery which will reshape the world for the worse if used.And Able is just hardheaded/misguided enough to use it. With android zombinators and the head necros assassin (Able's ex-girlfriend Morphia) after them, Soil and Able Kane have no choice but to climb the lemon tree to Haeven, residence of the zombie god Necro. And by anyone's reckoning, Soil and Able Kane are the two people in the worlderness who should never have been let into Heaven. Back cover description: Fear not mankind, the omniscient God Necro proclaims that your tasty brains will be safe from the ravenous undead during the impending zombie apocalypse. Unfortunately for most of you, however, the enlightened zombie hoard plans to herd you like cattle on their potato plantations and use your fertile bodies to grow their specialized blood veggies. Only by prostrating yourself before the Great Necro can you join forces with other faithful necros and defend humanity from the ever encroaching zombie invasion. But it won't be easy, especially if you've just escaped from the vegfarm - and you already have the cattle brand on your forehead and the telltale potato vines sprouting from your body. Bounty-hunting zombinators, flying cleaver-laden helicopters and cockrockets, will soon be hot on your trail as you race toward the Promised Land and the sanctuary that is known as the Republic of Texas. Not only is "Vegan Zombie Apocalypse" one of the most bizarre stories ever conceived, but its universal appeal should extend far beyond its bizarro fan base. Enthusiasts of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror, and especially zombie fiction lovers, should relish this book, even though it ventures into the dark realm of the extraordinarily grotesque at times... many times actually.
