Zombie Mommy by M.T. Anderson

4.0

It seems like R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps series is too much of a self parody to be parodied, yet M.T. Anderson does a pretty good job of satirizing kids horror novels. And the presence of Katie’s cousin Madigan Westlake-Duvet mashes the proceeding up with kids romance novels. It makes for one of the funniest books in the series while still being sufficiently creepy to pay off as a horror novel. It’s particularly amusing when the author calls attention to various techniques writers use to build tension in such genre novels as he’s using them. And even though he tells you what he’s doing it still builds tension. Drgnan Pghlik also continues his partnership as an unofficial Pal in Peril.
