The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently posted a survival guide called “Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse” emergency kit information. They’d like you to believe they’re being trendy, and hope everyone will think it’s just a joke, but it’s not. And I know why, because I’m Charlie Kane - and I’ve killed zombies.
I'm not a big zombie fan. But this made me laugh. I'm hooked. Nice blend of humor and info.
ReplyDeleteHa! Great hook, excellent voice and timing. Love the last line.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this! I'm also not much for Zombies, but I would like to read this!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Like Amelia, I'm not a zombie fan, but I love the voice! Very Douglas Adams.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree--I am not at all interested in zombies but you got me. Great. Fwiw, I do think you could tighten the second sentence. Which might give you a few words to play with to give us just a hair more info about Charlie in the last sentence...
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I'm not at all interested in zombies, but this sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteI think if you just cut "emergency kit information" you'd be right on the money.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE zombies and have my own humorous zombie book I am querying right now (it's MG). I agree to cut the emergency kit information line. Maybe add in the age of Charlie? Also, I'd cut the "just." Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThis might work for a query but it's not a logline.
