The book kicks off with a choice: read in conventional order, or follow the zig-zagging Table of Contents. I regret having followed the Table of Contents, as reading conventionally would have allowed me to reach the best parts of the books sooner and weave through the multiple narratives more evenly. The origin myth of our Caribbean zombies proved the most interesting thematic section, while the “zombie scientist and his harem” narrative had me rolling my eyes.

The book starts with a warning: if you read the pages in numerical order, “you will wind up in chaos”; if you follow the page order in the table of contents where chapters are grouped by category, you will be delivered to a “safe harbor”, but “this convenience, however, could be lethal.” I picked possible death over chaos and took the table of contents route, but I’d love to compare notes with someone who read the pages in order. I wonder if a page order reading would be more confusing at first, but would ultimately weave the chapter ‘categories’ together more elegantly. I think the publisher blurb does a great job describing the pleasures of the book without giving anything away, although I wouldn’t call it science fiction by any stretch of the imagination. If you are looking for science fiction zombies you’ll be disappointed, but like the blurb says, if you’re looking for “…an intense and sometimes funny pharmacopeia of love lost and humanity regained” (not to mention a hysterically funny bit of zombie erotica) this is the place.… (más)
