Zombicorns

Zombicorns.Summary: Genetically modified corn has infected people with a virus that causes them to turn into zombies concerned only with the continuation of corn, while the uninfected continue to be concerned with the continuation of uninfected people.The best part: In between the moments of violence are moments of quiet contemplation.The worst part: It could use a thorough copyedit, but I doubt anyone will hold a few typos against it.Characters: Mia tells the story in first person narrative which is perfect for displaying her existential crisis. She’s smart, thoughtful, and not afraid to “complete” some Z’s with her gun of choice.Plot: Zombie apocalypse, existential crisis, John Green – What more could you possibly need to know?Setting: Post-apocalyptic Chicago is much like post-apocalyptic anywhere else in the U.SWriting style: Zombicorns is a novella so it’s a quick read, but it’s as poignant and thought-provoking as any of Green’s other work and left me pounding my fists on the desk in frustration that he doesn’t write more fantasy/sci-fi.In which I babble: Zombicorns was originally written to earn donation money for the Harry Potter Alliance. While Green has since made it freely available under a creative commons license (a video explanation here and a link to download the novella for free here), please consider donating to the HPA anyway because they are awesome.Reminds me of: This contemplative short story on the meaning of life, death, and zombies is kind of like my Introduction to Philosophy class except more interesting, to the point, and with proper grammar and more zombie.Credits:All contents are property of their respective owners.We are not responsible for the contents depicted in the app.Please Rate us and Write a review and help us improve our app.
