‘Z is for Zombie’: This Book is for Bigots

I don’t know how I missed this appalling little picture book but io9, frequent purveyors of Anti-Zombiism, had a small feature on it a while back:

Check out some exclusive pages from Z is for Zombie by Adam-Troy Castro, with illustrations by Johnny Atomic, coming next week from Harper Voyager. As John Scalzi says, “It’s not the first alphabet book you’ve ever read… but it may be the last.” Entries include A is for Apocalypse, B is for Buried Alive, C is for Cannibalistic… plus the gems we’re sharing with you here. [Z is for Zombie]

Yes that’s right, it’s a faux-whimsical alphabet learning guide about the Zombie Apocalypse, replete with fear-mongering about the Differently Animated and the usual twaddle about Undeath being a fate worse than regular death, etc.

Only this time with deluxe illustrations and a low word-to-picture ratio to help push the hatred. Disgusting.

Given that io9 helpfully provided us with 3 of the 26 pages I think we can go ahead and safely rate this book as Living Supremacist.

B is for Bigot, and C is for Cashing In on a Trend

Go check out the large images they’re hosting if you don’t believe me, however. I encourage our readers to see for themselves how deep the cesspit of hatred really goes.
