Here's how you know the zombie trend officially has worn out its welcome: IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE ZOMBIES!: A BOOK OF ZOMBIE CHRISTMAS CAROLS by Michael P. Spradlin. You know what its one joke is, even without me telling you, but I'm going to tell you anyway.
For the slim, illustrated volume, Spradlin rewrites a couple dozen beloved holiday tunes to give them a reanimated flavor — witness utterly predictable opening lines like "Fresh brains roasting on an open fire," "Here comes Zombie Claus, here comes Zombie Claus" and "I'll be undead for Christmas." My fourth grader can do that. Maybe these would be funny as actual songs, performed rather than read. But then again, maybe not. —Rod LottBuy it at Amazon.
