The Sinister Mr. Corpse

Stanley Dabernath wonders what is going on.
He awakes on stage in a reanimation TV special vaguely reminiscent of Geraldo and Al Capone's vault. Stanley has been resurrected! From there, he is in for a wild ride!
Becoming America's newest celebrity, Stanley embarks on a whirlwind ride of reality shows and special appearances. It turns out that being the world's only real walking, talking and swearing zombie is quite profitable.
This is very much an hilarious, tongue in cheek commentary on modern day celebrity-ism. We love to build up our stars and then we love to tear them down. Behind the laughter, though, these observations are true and that is a little sad.
All in all, this book was extremely funny and I would recommend it to anyone show more who may be in need of some humor. No real scares, but lots and lots of laughs! show less

I liked the general idea of a corpse being brought back to life and being subjected to the media circus, but the dialog that goes on between the characters is enough to roll my eyes. The author tries for humor, but it falls flat almost always. Would be nice if there was more depth of character (thoughts, feelings, motivations, etc.), but all in all, it's worth a read.
