Take 5 for Zombie Week: Variant Zombie Tales

I like a good zombie book. I also love a good zombie book which presents a variation on the traditional zombie tale. Sure I like them dark and scary and brooding. I like a good old fashioned zombie plague as much as the next living undead person. But I also love to read a new […]

Zombie Love: Why Are Zombie Things So Popular? (A guest post by Geri Diorio)

March 23, 2015 by Karen Jensen, MLS

This week we’re – and by we’re I mean people like me and author Carrie Mesrobian, not necessarily everyone here at TLT – counting down the days until The Walking Dead season finale. So while we’re counting down, we thought we would dedicate the week to zombies. We’ll here from author Carrie Mesrobian later in […]

TPiB: Turn Your Library into Lovecraft Middle School (spooky crafts and Halloween fun)

October 7, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

Halloween is one of my most favorite times of the year.  The leaves turn beautiful colors and glide gently to the ground, perfect for leaf pile jumping.  Everyone gets to dress up.  And there is candy.  Lots and lots and lots of candy.  I may or may not be the parent who sneaks candy out […]

Book Review: Eat, Brains, Love by Jeff Hart

October 3, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

The first thing you need to know is this: Eat, Brains, Love is not really a play or spoof on Eat, Pray, Love.  It is not Pride and Prejudice with Zombies.  It is its own book, and it is actually really good. Jake is sitting in the school cafeteria.  He doesn’t feel so well.  And […]

A bolt of bright yellow light sprang from the dark. Nearly blinded by the glare, Alex squinted and would have put a hand up if she hadn’t needed both to hang on. Belatedly, she realized that the light must be for her. The Changed saw very well in the dark. She saw Wolf, his legs […]

Book Review: Zombie Baseball Beatdown by Paolo Bacigalupi

October 1, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

“It might be kind of funny, if the cows weren’t trying to eat you . . . “ It’s easy to dismiss zombie books, and I see it happen often.  Yes, zombie books have – by definition – some type of zombie in them.  But zombie books are most often a layered reading experience, there […]

September 30, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

“There’s a whole bunch of really scared people out there,” Kat says. “They’re going to need to be dealt with.”Something about the words she chose makes my skin crawl.Jaime takes a cautious step away from the door, as if to make sure no one is going to try to bust through from the hall. “What […]
