World War Moo


Book Description

The zombie cows plaguing Britain have spread the virus to humans in this sequel to the Pratchett Award–winning Apocalypse Cow. The ragtag team who so bravely risked all to save the world from zombie cows, to put it bluntly, failed. The epidemic that transformed Britain’s bovine population into a blood-thirsty, brain-grazing, zombie horde . . . err . . . zombie herd . . . is now threatening to take over the globe. And there’s not much time left to stop it. With all of Great Britain is infected and hungry, the rest of the world has a tough choice to make. Should they nuke the brits right off the map—men, women, children, cows and all—in the biggest genocide in history? Or should they risk global infection in a race against time to find a cure? With zombies attempting to cross borders by plains, trains, boats, and any other form of transport available, it’s only a matter of time before the virus gets out. And if it does, there’s only one answer. This means war.

Hollow Kingdom


Book Description

A finalist for the 2020 Thurber Prize for American Humor! "The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead" in this big-hearted, boundlessly beautiful romp through the Apocalypse, where a foul-mouthed crow is humanity's only chance to survive Seattle's zombie problem (Karen Joy Fowler, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author). S.T., a domesticated crow, is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (i.e. "those idiots"), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos ®. But when Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to think something's not quite right. His tried-and-true remedies—from beak-delivered beer to the slobbering affection of Big Jim's loyal but dim-witted dog, Dennis—fail to cure Big Jim's debilitating malady. S.T. is left with no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a wild and frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis, where he suddenly discovers that the neighbors are devouring one other. Local wildlife is abuzz with rumors of Seattle's dangerous new predators. Humanity's extinction has seemingly arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a cowardly crow whose only knowledge of the world comes from TV. What could possibly go wrong? Includes a Reading Group Guide.
