I Am Scrooge: A Zombie Story for Christmas

By Adam Roberts

Book Overview

Award nominated SF author Adam Roberts takes on Dickens in this festive zombie gorefest. Marley was dead. To begin with. The legendary Ebenezeer Scrooge sits in his house counting money. The boards that he has nailed up over the doors and the windows shudder and shake under the blows from the endless zombie hordes that crowd the streets hungering for his flesh and his miserly braaaaiiiiiinns Just how did the happiest day of the year slip into a welter of blood, innards and shambling, ravenous undead on the snowy streets of old London town? Will the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future be able to stop the world from drowning under a top-hatted and crinolined zombie horde? It's the Dickensian Zombie Apocalypse - God Bless us, one and all

Customer Reviews

Such a fun read!

This was such a fun twist on the classic that is A Christmas Carol! It almost looks like it'll go in the classic way of this story, but the first twist seems this story spiraling into something brand new that's filled with three Christmas spirits, zombies, and more than a few laughs to keep you reading until the very last line. I think I'll look for more by Mr. Roberts honestly.
