                                                   Blood is really warm,
                                                like drinking hot chocolate
                                               but with more screaming.

Poetry is dead. "Zombie Haiku" is the touching story of a zombie's gradual decay told through the intimate poetry of haiku. From infection to demise, readers will accompany the narrator through deserted streets and barracaded doors for every eye-popping, gut-wrenching, flesh-eating moment. The book is illustrated with over 50 photos from the zombie's point of view and designed with extra blood, pus, gore, and guts!

                                                      Biting into heads
                                              is much harder than it looks.
                                                     The skull is feisty.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Simply one of the best zombie reads of the year... If you have a taste for horror, this quirky little book is for you. But if you're a zombie fiend like myself, you should make it your single minded goal to seek out this book and digest then savor it." -- Mark. L Miller, Ain't It Cool News

"Ryan Mecum obviously knows his zombie films well, and his book tells a gory, violent story that will warm the veins of Romero fans." -- Rue Morgue Magazine

Unbelievably non-Japanese haiku

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2009

Verified Purchase

Folks, the world takes itself so seriously sometimes, you need to smile when someone smashes our expectation to pieces. Yes, this book is not the best poetry, nor is it the best horror, but rather an idiosyncratic mutation (much like the zombies). You get to go through the "mind" of a human going "zombie." The little snippets of verse are just right in capturing blinks of consciousness from the poor victim. Yes, sometimes repetitive and gory, with silly photos and no happy ending, nevertheless, a good addition to any haiku library. High marks for bravery and innovation.

Shamble. Eat People / Zombies really have no goals/ gets boring real fast

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2008

Verified Purchase

Since this is the third zombie book in a row that I didn't care for, and I don't recall one that I liked, I think I just dislike zombies. There really is no movement to a storie with a zombie protagonist (jokes about shambling aside). They don't care about much and only want to eat continually so the plot is *seek food, eat someone Repeat from *.

You get increasing gore (hey look, my arm fell off). You get weird shock value (mom is tasty) but you get no real story.

The execution in this one is brilliant, but the content isn't.

Cute, funny, but too short

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

I read through this from start to finish in under an hour. Its funny, some of the haiku are actually hilarious (I loved the nursing home set and mom's meaty thighs), and I read a few of them out loud to my boyfriend. The ending ties in really nicely to the prefacing notes, but I just felt it could have been a bit better. If you're looking for a humorous zombie read, consider picking up a copy. You'll get a few laughs out of it.

This is totally one of those awesome books you pick up and can't put down until you finish it. I totally loved this collection and stayed up all night reading this book after I picked it up! =D

Along with Mecum's work, I also recommend The Photos in the Closet by Daniel E. Lopez and any works by Alison Townsend. These are two great writers that will compliment Mecum's work really well.

Book #1 Read in 2014
Zombie Haiku by Ryan Mecum

This was a quick read, told in haiku format, about the zombie uprising. It is a bit gory in parts, which means boys will most likely love it. It shows the transition of a human who is becoming a zombie.

This book details one zombie's journey in the form of haiku. The book is very creative and I really enjoyed the approach of using haikus. Overall the book is a short read but the novelty doesn't wear off. It makes for a great coffee table piece or just for some light bathroom reading. I would totally use this as material if I taught a high school English course.

My daughter convinnced me to order this book. At first I had no interest but after reading the first few pages I was hooked. Never really thought about what it would be like to be human turning into a zombie. A diary of a persons transformation. A different sort of view. Perfect for people who are into Zombies. Used for Teen reading group.

My Son owns all the Haiku books by Ryan Mecum so I have read them all. But by far Zombie Haiku is my favorite one because, I love how this one really describes what it would feel like to become a Zombie! I highly recommend this one to all the Zombie Fans out there, if you don't already have this one, go now and get it!
