Breathers: A Zombie's Lament

By S.G. Browne

Details: Sunday, May 12, 2013; 12:00pm until 1:30pm at Westport Coffee House: 4010 Pennsylvania Ave, Kansas City, Missouri.

Westport Coffee House is located in Westport a block west of Broadway and shares parking with the nearby shopping center.

Synopsis: For fans of Max Brooks’s The Zombie Survival Guide and zombie aficionados everywhere, a hilarious debut novel about life (and love) after death.

Meet Andy Warner, a recently deceased everyman and newly minted zombie. Resented by his parents, abandoned by his friends, and reviled by a society that no longer considers him human, Andy is having a bit of trouble adjusting to his new existence. But all that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls in Rita, an impossibly sexy recent suicide with a taste for the formaldehyde in cosmetic products, and Jerry, a twenty-one-year-old car-crash victim with an exposed brain and a penchant for Renaissance pornography. When the group meets a rogue zombie who teaches them the joys of human flesh, things start to get messy, and Andy embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will take him from his casket to the SPCA to a media-driven class-action lawsuit on behalf of the rights of zombies everywhere.

Darkly funny, surprisingly touching, and gory enough to satisfy even the most discerning reader, Breathers is a romantic zombie comedy (rom-zom-com, for short) that will leave you laughing, squirming, and clamoring for more. Provided by Amazon.com

KC Horrror Club Movie Outing

Warm Bodies

Details: 
February 9, 2013 2:00pm (Time subject to change, check Facebook)  

Hey everybody!

Let's get together for a Horror Club pre-Valentine's day movie. We will meet in the theater lobby approximately 45 minutes before the movie start time. I will adjust the time once the movie schedule is posted. 

Synopsis:

A funny new twist on a classic love story, WARM BODIES is a poignant tale about the power of human connection. After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human - setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world. © Summit
