review 1: The book starts off with a mummy escaping his sarcophagus and walking outside. A startled bicyclist wrecks his bike when he sees the mummy. The mummy tries to approach various strangers for a quarter so he can call an ambulance for the poor bicyclist. Everyone runs away, terrified.A skeleton holds his breath underwater for a minute plus.A zombie can't seem to figure out why people are running from him and attempts various hygienic methods because he just doesn't get it.That explains why I love this book.
review 2: Brilliant. I'm gradually learning that I really love Jason's work. For a long time the price tag turned me off (80 pages for 15 bucks) but now that they're recollecting his short works in these well-produced but low-priced hardcovers ($25 for 4 of his... more shorter works, totaling 300 pages) I'm happy to purchase them. And they're so well-drawn, interesting, emotional, funny... They're just great. Loved the comedic takes on vampires, zombies and mummies found in Meow Baby, and equally loved the romantic love story combined with a frightening zombie apocalypse in The Living and the Dead. Beautifully packaged, highly intelligent stories with real heart all around. less
