The Miseducation of a Zombie by Timothe Davis is marvelously clever satire, centered around his main character - a human by the name of Jo V. Al, or Vic to his friends; a high ranking official known as a Serenity Ambassador, or keeper of the peace between races, if you will. A tough job when his city/sector, Sector 1, the capital city, has the most racially diverse populace of other worldly beings, or OWBs as they are referred to. Werewolves, vampires, pixies, fairies, nymphs, elves, and zombies all coexist with humans.
As the story develops, mysterious, rabid zombie attacks are being reported throughout the sector. Vic, his associates, and the police are on the case. As the investigation develops, some things just aren’t making any sense. The attacks are not like the typical rabid zombie murders, and accusations are being thrown in every direction. Racial tensions are at fever pitch when plans for a peaceful demonstration get orchestrated at the Governor’s mansion.
Mr. Davis’s characters are as diverse as the races, but with real life issues dealing with prejudice. In between all of Timothe’s use of puns, one-liners, wit and sarcasm, and the broad range of characters with names like Xena and Barnabus Jones, he left me laughing out loud as the case developed. This story has guns, magic spells, and even light sabers thrown into the mix with provocative seductresses and genuine tender moments. The Miseducation of a Zombie reminded me of a cross between "Men In Black" and the animated movie "Heavy Metal." Brava, Mr. Davis!
