MY LIFE AS A WHITE TRASH ZOMBIE

Angel Crawford survives a car crash—only to discover she now has a hankering for brains—eating them. Luckily, her new job at the city morgue gives her ready access. Allison McLemore’s delicate voice and Southern accent give Angel’s first-person narration a humorous kick. McLemore excels at bringing Angel’s self-deprecating and sarcastic comments to life. Her brisk pacing suits Angel’s personality and draws listeners in from the first chapter, keeping them glued to their earphones as she plays up the book’s “gross factor” with drawling descriptions of gooey brains and crunchy skull cavities. She’s also good at giving unique voices and mannerisms to secondary characters. C.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2013]
