THE BEST ZOMBIE CHICKEN NOVEL YOULL FIND ANYWHERE-BAR NONE Armand, the Chicken Exorcist foretold for centuries, faces his greatest opponent when he comes across the undead Rooster King who had been spit from the mouth of hell to preside over the minions of undead poultry at Rambling Acres Farm. But this is no ordinary chicken haunting and there is more than just chickens whose fate has been sealed. Funny and beautifully written, Cluck will be beloved by fans of Sir Terry Prachett. If you only have the time to fit in one chicken zombie book this year, you owe it to yourself for Cluck to be that book AWARDS 2008 Odyssey Indie Excellence Award Winner 2008 Finalist ForeWord Magazines Book of The Year Award, Horror Category 2008 Independent Publisher Book Award Bronze Medal Winner, Horror Category 2007 Finalist ForeWord Magazines Book of The Year Award, Horror Category PRASIE FOR CLUCK "Eric D. Knapps Cluck: Murder Most Fowl is one of the best books weve reviewed so far on Odyssey Reviews. This tongue-in-cheek (or beak) work of brilliance will surely make you laugh. The writing is on par with the likes of Terry Pratchett. The story is brilliant, the writing unbelievably good" - Odyssey Reviews "When you can make a zombie chicken an unforgettable villain, youre doing something right. My prediction is that this is destined to be a cult classic." - R.W. Ridley, author of The Oz Chronicles "Definitely amusing and most bizarre this is an out of the ordinary first in the series which will have you clucking for more" - Ann Marie Chalmers, Front Street Reviews "With a unique blend of comedy and good vs. evil, Cluck manages not only to unfold an entertaining story but also to be incredibly humorous and very well written." - Revenant Magazine Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Bobby Garfundephelt buys a sprawling, multi-building farm, with the intention of turning part of it into a bed and breakfast. Included with the farm is a chicken coop, full of loud, stupid and filthy chickens. Janice, his wife, likes the chickens, and has to repeatedly remind Bobby to feed them. In a moment of frustration, one night, Bobby sets fire to the coop, with the chickens inside. Janice leaves him. Stuck somewhere between life and death, the zombie chickens go on the attack. Led by an evil undead Rooster, bigger than the average rooster, they chase Bobby throughout the labyrinthine rooms of the farmhouse. The house has been altered and added to so many times over the past 200 years, that it has gained a rudimentary intelligence, and assists in Bobby’s torment.
Arnold is a young boy with a unique ability. Remember the famous movie line, "I see dead people?" Arnold could say, "I see dead chickens." After years of seeing a blue light coming from everyone, and being attacked by undead chickens, Arnold’s parents ship him to a secret monastery in France. Their specialty is chicken exorcisms. On his deathbed, the present leader of the order transfers the being, or presence, living inside him to Arnold, making him the new leader. Many years later, Arnold, now called Armand, arrives at the farmhouse, to do battle with these undead zombie chickens. Amid everything else, Armand has to deal with a chicken spirit that takes over Bobby, so that, one minute, he is cowering in fear in the corner of a basement, and the next minute, he is trying to kill Armand.
If nothing else, this is a very different sort of novel, and it’s a very good novel. It’s nice and strange, and the author does a fine job with it. ( )
