By the Blood of Heroes by Joseph Nassise5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() At the tail end of 1917, the Germans introduced a new type of gas to the battlefield –T-Leiche, or “corpse gas” - and changed the face of the war by resurrecting the bodies of the dead, giving the enemy an almost unlimited source of fresh troops. Yup, we’re screwed.īy the Blood of Heroes by Joseph Nassise. As the nation descends into chaos, can they pool their resources, unlock a cure, and save the world? Three losers. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the fate of the nation seems to rest on the shoulders of three unlikely heroes: an abattoir worker whose love life is non-existent thanks to the stench of death that clings to him, a teenage vegan with eczema and a weird crush on his math teacher, and an inept journalist who wouldn’t recognise a scoop if she tripped over one. ![]() The story begins with a cow that just wouldn’t die, and quickly builds to an epidemic that transforms Britain’s livestock into slavering, flesh-craving four-legged zombies. In what is fast becoming an annual tradition (I know twice isn’t really a tradition, but if I whine enough about it, they’ll let me keep doing this for the next few years), I present you with my favourite zombie titles published this year.Īpocalypse Cow by Michael Logan is an outrageous take on the zombie apocalypse – and joint winner of the first Terry Pratchett First Novel Prize. It looks like the zombie apocalypse is still on the agenda, judging by the number of awesomely creepy new books we’ve seen come through our doors. As I wrote last year, zombies were coming to Winnipeg Public Library. ![]()
