A fable told to zombie children in Z-World.
We could always use more horror-themed books for children, as they’re a great (and safe) way to introduce kids to the horror genre. For me, R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books helped me along when I was growing up, and I suspect that author Brian James Freeman will be doing the same with his latest project.
Set for release in April 2018, The Zombie Who Cried Human was illustrated by Glenn Chadbourne, and it’s just been put up for pre-order by Cemetery Dance Publications.
The Zombie Who Cried Human is the first book in the “Little Gruesome” series, blending classic fables with modern storytelling techniques to entertain all ages.
“Little Boy Zombie lives on a big farm just outside of ZomBeeTown with Mama Zombie, Papa Zombie, and Rex the Zombie Dog. One day, while Mama Zombie and Papa Zombie are away, Boy Zombie is left in charge of the farm. But when he gets bored, he decides to play a prank on the citizens of ZomBeeTown. He yells toward town, “Humans here, humans here!” And everyone comes shambling to the farm to help. When they discover they’ve been tricked, Boy Zombie is warned by his elders: “Don’t cry ‘humans’ when there are no humans! But will he learn his lesson in time?”
You can pre-order the standard version for $19 or the limited edition for $65.
