Despite the title, Moon Walker is a zombie novel, and has absolutely nothing to do with Michael Jackson. I should also point out that it is not a Romero-esque zombie apocalypse novel. The zombies in this book are Voodoo zombies, though they do share Romero zombies' taste for human flesh.

The plot goes like this. Dale Hammon and his daughter go to the small town of dyer, Maine for the funeral of his friend Larry. The funeral is closed casket, and no one, not even the family, has been allowed to see the body. It soon becomes apparent that the funeral director has some magical Voodoo juice that he uses to reanimate corpses, which he then rents out as field workers for the local potato harvest.

It may sound a bit silly, but all in all, it's a pretty good book. ( )
