ZOMBIE IDOL

Over at insideadog, Maureen Johnson is putting to the test the theory that all books are made better with a zombie.

And you’re invited! Transform a work of existing literature by adding a zombie. You might even win a prize…

Here’s examples from Maureen, Justine and Scott. And here’s mine, with apologies to Walt Whitman:


O ZOMBIE! my Zombie! our fearful trip is done; 

Our bodies weather’d every whack, the brains we sought are nom nom nom; 

Our lunch is near, the bells I hear, the people all screaming, 

While follow eyes the zombie reel, our onslaught grim and daring: 

But O brains! brains! brains!

O the bleeding drops of red, 

Where on the deck my dinner lies, 

Fallen cold and dead.
