Why read it?

1 author picked Zombie Haiku as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Haiku is a popular, easily approachable form of poetry (i.e. not pretentious), which makes this book a fun, light read despite its blood-spattered pages.

From James' list on drop dead hilarious zombie books.
