You’ll hate yourself for liking this book

Timothy by Mark Tufo

Short, creepy and very twisted. It was on sale for $2, otherwise I may not have read it.  Mark Tufo gives us a different take on zombie apocalypse.  This story is told from the zombie’s point of view.  There’s no warm and fuzzies from Timothy’s mind, like with R in Isaac Marion’s book Warm Bodies.  Timothy was a monster before he became a monster.  Well, maybe not so much a monster but he was a huge asshole.  A miserable asshole who plays a clown at kids parties as a side job.  This book is very well written and graphic, as well as demented, sick, grotesque, and a bit perverse.  Timothy’s mind and his zombie body are at odds with each other.  Which is why I used words like grotesque, perverse, and sick.  I really enjoyed this book, so I probably need some psychotherapy.  I think Timothy would make a great adult comic book series. Fellow reader Shana Festa says “I fear for [Mark] Tufo’s wife when she sleeps. I’m not sure I could close my eyes around a mind that produces this stuff.” Well said, Shana!

Synopsis:

Timothy was not a good man in life and being undead did little to improve his disposition. Find out what a man trapped in his own mind will do to survive when he wakes up to find himself a zombie controlled by a self-aware virus.
