Z=mc2: Time-Travelin' Zombies vs. the Garden State by Kelly Jameson
by Kelly Jameson
Personally, I think the Toxic Avenger needs company. Brief synopsis of Z-mc2: Time-Travelin' Zombies vs. the Garden State by Kelly Jameson: When it comes to fighting zombies, sometimes imagination is more important than knowledge. —Einstein's Zombie Z=mc2: Time-Travelin’ Zombies vs. the Garden State by Kelly Jameson is a brain-and-guts soaked, deliciously degenerate zombie novel replete with body fluids, decaying organs, and more than one foul-mouthed character obsessed with the word "fucktard". Zombies from the future invade the New Jersey Pine Barrens through a time portal in a dumpster behind a cheeseburger joint. It's up to eccentric, 85-year-old reptile expert and WWII Vet Bob Rampold and his environmental trainee, Arvin Hickey, a former marine sniper and personal injury lawyer with post-traumatic stress disorder, to save the ecologically diverse Pinelands National Reserve and the world. As if Jersey didn't have enough problems already. Ironically, they're aided by a zombie in their fight against the zombies. Einstein's zombie has come through the time portal looking for his brain. In 1955, the man who performed Einstein's autopsy kept the brilliant scientist's brain in a Tupperware container for years afterward. Bob and Arvin improvise as they make their way from one rank, putrid zombie fight to another with WWII weapons, billiard sticks, safety pins, herpetologist socks and duct tape. Our heroes are aided by Arlene, a sexy news reporter who quits her dead-end news job and ends up with the story of a lifetime as she follows a twisted, rifle-toting Girl Scout, a pot-smoking veterinarian, a 400-pound lawyer named Hilarius Fuchs, a lesbian couple descended from Jersey anarchists, and a schizophrenic named Ronald with OCD who dresses in pink angora sweaters, pink skirts, and high heels and only speaks in Ed Wood movie lines. At times poignantly gratuitous with regards to grossness and over-the-top brain spillage, the author tells a charming and silly story while also taking a stick and poking an advertising soaked, environmentally unconscious, ear-bud wearing, technology and latte-addicted world. Z=mc2: Time-Travelin’ Zombies vs. the Garden State is a book that asks the reader, who's the real zombie here?
