If you enjoyed the previous novels of Bryan Smith you will certainly enjoy this one. The basic plot is this. The year is 1987. Teens, Wayne and Steve are on a mission to rescue Wayne's girl friend Melissa from the Southern Illinois Music Re-Education Center. SIMRC is a kind of de-programming center for teens into the Heavy Metal lifestyle. The SIMRC is ran by the cruel mistress Sybil Huffington and other twisted religious zealots. Wayne and Steve must break Melissa out before she endures further brutal humiliations...and then there are the zombies. This book at 118 pages is a very fun read. Smith cleverly titles each of his chapters after songs from the 70s and 80s Metal and Punk genres. Smith also inspires rock and roll nostalgia by referencing the 1980s pop culture landscape. He immerses the reader in the atmosphere of the B horror film and masterfully narrates his story with a sense of absurdity and poetic irony.

I've read a few Bryan Smith books and for me, he is hit or miss. I'm happy to say that Smith's latest book by Deadite Press is a full-fledged hit. If you grew up nearly worshipping Romero's zombie films along with Return of the Living Dead, then this book is for you. Lots of winks to the reader throughout the story made it even more enjoyable. It has your basic plot, sure, but it moves so fast and with such inspired energy, you can't help but get sucked in and root for the heroes. And while the first half is bit more fun than the second half, the wild frenzy of violence should keep you reading long into the night.
My only real disappointment was with Deadite Press's copy editing. If they can't take the time to clean up punctuation, perhaps they are releasing too many titles. It's a simple process, guys. READ the damn manuscript slowly one time and you will find the errors! With that out of the way, I wholeheartedly recommend "Rock And Roll Reform School Zombies". This book is a great introduction for new readers to experience Bryan Smith. You've got likable characters, ruthless villains, lots of gore, kinky sex, and zombies. What more could you ask for?

a zombie book
Not a bad read. It reads like an 80's horror flick, which a lot of authors are trying to do right now, and this book does it pretty well. Read more
