The Gospel of Z
The Gospel of Z | Stephen Graham Jones
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
In the postapocalypse, you take what you can get: "A must-read story and essential addition to the zombie canon" from the New York Timesbestselling author ( LitReactor). It's been nearly a decade since Z Day, when a plague turned humans into the voracious undead. Once a high school biology teacher, Jory Gray now works on an assembly line, making genetically modified "handlers"the only beings who can control the zombies. There's not much to live for these days, so when the woman he loves leaves him for the promise of the Church of Z, Gray has nothing left to lose. Or so he thinks. When Gray gets demoted from his factory position, he becomes truly expendable, and is sent out to blow-torch the infected. A dead-end job if there ever was one. As Gray struggles to stay human in a world that wants to make him a monster, the military and church duke it out for the future of humanity, using survivors as pawns in a hell on earth where zombies are the least of the creatures to be feared . . . "Gripping moments of horror are expertly rendered, flashes of spot-on hilarity provide depth as well as levity, and the flickering humanity of the characters will resonate powerfully with readers." Publishers Weekly "Not simply another zombie novel. It is, in fact, a narrative about things broken: society, authority, community, individuality, institutions, lives, even hope. And, at the end, there is the overwhelming sense that at the deepest levels, something has been 'fixed.'" Hellnotes "The single greatest zombie book you're ever going to read in your life."

Jones always has something interesting to say and this book is no exception. This is a zombie story but it is also a book about the church and the military vying to be THE authority in a post-apocalyptic zombie-invested world, the military-industrial complex, good and evil, hope and despair and the will to survive even when the possibility seems unlikely. Not my favorite of his books but still a well-written, entertaining read.
