More horror from Troy Blackford, author of 'Strange Way Out,' 'For Those With Eyes to See,' 'Critical Incident,' and more. A combination of terrifying chills and ridiculous laughs so unusual that you'll be crying your eyes out with humor even as you cower under your sheets out of sheer dread for your imagination's sanity. Answers the question 'What's it like to be scared out of your wits while laughing yourself to the point of drooling?' with a resounding 'Very good, sir.'

"A great job entwining humor with sheer horror."
"The author has taken the genre of horror up several great notches."
"Absolute delight and perfection.... a truly enjoyable book."
"Seldom did I laugh so much while reading a story."
"Another surefire winner from Troy Blackford."
"A horror twist on P.G. Wodehouse."
"I laughed myself silly through this... horror tome."

On what seems to be a perfectly ordinary night, young Broderick 'Brodie' Booster flips on the evening news to find that New York City has been overrun by hundreds of thousands of reanimated corpses. After a visit from his previously dead Aunt Gertie, Booster and his manservant Reeves make a quick trip to a hardware store to outfit themselves with decent zomboidal defenses, and set out on a harrowing trek across town to confront the thieving maid responsible for the hordes of the undead.

Every step of the way, they encounter the unusual, the sinister, the depraved, and the hilarious. From irritable diva news reporters to crab-like zombies and arachnid pooches, things go from weird to worse. Without the help of the unflappable Reeves, the ditsy Brodie would have been munched for what there was of his brains long ago. But, even together, are they a match for the ancient evil fueling this dark 'Night of the Revenants?'

5,0 su 5 stelle What ho, zombies? Are you mad?
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 29 settembre 2013

I sincerely hope Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie read this book.

Any of you who've ever seen their wonderful versions of the P.D. Wodehouse books will immediately get the joke, in less time than it takes Bertie to down a tumbler of gin. All throughout this undead romp, I heard Fry's and Laurie's voices in my head with every line of dialogue from "Reeves" and "Booster." Of course, you don't have to be familiar with the comedy duo, or even Wodehouse, to enjoy this story, but it does add to the experience significantly.

Modern gadabout Booster can't be bothered to look outside of his FPS xbox games until zombies rise from their graves and his recently-deceased auntie barges in to demand that the wastrel DO something about all of it. Aided by his faithful manservant Reeves (in something along the lines of a 5% Booster to 95% Reeves ratio), Booster sets out into a city teeming with brain-munching corpses, and carnage and hilarity commence, by Jove!

There is satisfyingly bloody zombie-slaughter, eyerolling aplenty from Reeves, and stunningly blithe ignorance aplenty by young Booster. As a fan of the stories Mr Blackford is parodying, I jolly well laughed my bottom off continually. HIGHLY recommended for anyone familiar with Wodehouse, and a great read for anyone who just loves zombies.

5,0 su 5 stelle A perfect pastiche, best served with a Pimms. A touch of decadence and the undead. Top-notch reading!

A wonderful pastiche, as the author himself says.
Anyone who has read P.G. Wodehouse, or even watched Jeeves & Wooster on the TV and has a thirst for zombies too is in for a royal treat, as Troy Blackford combines the two elements with superlative ease in a tale that one can read in a single afternoon.
Follow Brodie Booster and his gentleman's gentleman, Reeves as they set about putting the world to rights and rid the city of marauding zombies that have been created through the inappropriate use of spells from a book that was stolen from Brodie's deceased Aunt Gertrude.
Another surefire winner from Troy Blackford, and absolutely deserving of a 5-star rating!

Broderick "Brodie" Booster and his valet Reeves, who likes to describe himself as a gentleman's gentleman, are the heroes of this story.
The objective is to get rid of the "revenants" which is just a polite euphemism for full-fleged zombies in varying states of rot & decay, out there to eat you.

If you happen to know the 'Jeeves and Wooster' stories by P.G. Wodehouse, you almost know the two main characters of this novella. But I bet those two never had to deal with the undead. Well, our chaps are facing this very problem and are going to tackle it in their own inimitable style (and with the help of a jaw saw I still stand in awe of). What there is to do, they learn from Booster's aunt Gertrude, who has a little handicap: She is already dead for two weeks when she enters the stage.

Troy Blackford has decided to bring together these two different genres and by doing so he hit the the center of my humor, spot on. Seldom did I laugh so much while reading a story. Anyone who has a shred of black humor should read this read. I sincerely hope that the two characters will be back some day experiencing more hilarious adventures like this.

I'm not generally a fan of all things zombie, but I did enjoy this one. It doesn't take itself too seriously and some of the humor was laugh out loud funny. It's well worth reading. I didn't give it a higher rating because there were times the style seemed too forced and intruded on the story more than enhanced it. I am looking forward though to seeing if Booster & Reeves have any further adventures - zombies or otherwise.

4,0 su 5 stelle New York Invaded By Perfect Rotters
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 9 maggio 2014

In a similar vein to Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, Blackford successfully merges classic literature with paranormal thrills. In this case, the period social comedy of P.G. Wodehouse with a thoroughly modern zombie apocalypse.

Broderick Booster is happily ensconced in his New York apartment playing the latest cybernetic zombie shoot-em-up when his valet, Reeves, informs him the dead really have risen – albeit without the latest in transhumanist upgrades. Brow-beaten by his domineering (and deceased) Aunt Gertie, Broderick agrees to chop the zombie invasion off at its root. Ably assisted by Reeves, he bumbles his way through the stumbling hordes.

Blackford ably matches the challenge of not only adding genuinely horrific paranormal threat to a comedy of manners without losing the humour, but also transferring it to the modern-day.

However, as with most mash-ups, the union of tropes and themes also requires sacrifice; although the novel is recognisably an homage to the works of P.G. Wodehouse, it lacks some of the more subtle nuances of his style.

As befits a pastiche, the leading characters are almost entirely modern American versions of their almost namesakes: Booster is oblivious but willing; Reeves is competent and self-effacing. However, Blackford also makes them sufficiently self-contained that readers unfamiliar with the originals will not find them mere cut-outs.

This presence of character is especially evident in the supporting cast: the characters not directly based on classic Wodehouse figures are both plausible and consistent with the stylised protagonists.

The zombies, as is only fitting, are characterised by their lack of character. Shambling across the page they are a skilled balance of massed threat and individual ineptitude.

Overall I enjoyed this book. I recommend it to readers approaching either from Wodehouse or horror.
