The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror by Christopher Moore
5.0
The book follows the citizens of Pine Cove — including many characters who’ve appeared in Moore’s previous novels — as they wrestle with the holiday blues, dumb holy beings sent to grant wishes, and zombies. It’s pretty great.
My favorite bit comes when the zombies are rising from the cemetery, discussing the feast they’re planning:
“Suddenly we are all gluttons, are we? Well, I have always enjoyed Danish Modern Furniture for its functional yet elegant design, so once we have consumed the brains of these revelers, I feel compelled to seek out one of these furniture boutiques I have heard so much about from the newlyweds in the chapel. First we feast, then IKEA.”
“IKEA,” chanted the dead. “First we feast, then IKEA. First we feast, then IKEA….”
No one knows why, but second only to eating the brains of the living, the dead love affordable prefab furniture. (196,197)
I don’t have a lot more to say about the book, except that it’s funny and heartwarming despite the carnage. Enjoy it.
