A neighborhood is being attacked by zombies! Whether believable or not, the
zombies are coming – and not just zombie people, but also zombie toys! That’s
what readers can expect from Zombie Ducks by Candace Nola, an extreme
horror novelette that will have both adults and kids trying to escape with
their lives.
Before
I started reading this book, I had no idea what to expect. From the title and
cover, I thought, Ok, zombie rubber duckies. What harm could there be?
I was surprised to find out!
Candace Nola takes the beloved bath toy and turns it into a zombie in this
extreme horror story, Zombie Ducks. Told from the POV of 6-year-old Kane, this
was a cute story to read.
And I say “cute” because Kane is cute in how he decides to fight back against
zombies that are attacking his neighborhood.
Yes, zombies. Those undead creatures we see in movies and read about in
stories.
Except for Kane, fiction becomes reality!
How zombies happened after a huge chemical plant explosion is explained, so
it’s acceptable that there are zombies in this story.
But what’s horrifying is that not only are people infected, but so are toys!
Even pool toys!
Even the toys left in a kid’s backyard. Like a dodgeball.
But get this: Not only are the toys zombified, they are also enhanced to have
real sharp teeth and they grow huge!
So Kane is a little shocked when he sees a bunch of ginormous dodgeballs kill
one of his neighbors.
“Ball after ball slammed into the man. Kane heard bones snapping, the squelch
of wet flesh, and saw sprays of blood. He heard the old man whimpering as he
begged for it to stop. Kane was horrified and fascinated at the same time.
Death by dodgeball didn’t seem like a good way for anyone to die.”
Yikes! No kidding! I still cringe when thinking of the days I endured the
torture of dodgeball in school!
So, toys are attacking people. And so of course, Kane thinks he should fight
toys with toys.
Specifically, his army of rubber duckies.
But after the rubber duckies are zombified, they grow HUGE! With sharp teeth!
Of course, this terrifies Kane, but he forces himself to be brave, taking on
the role of a sergeant as he commands his army of zombie rubber duckies to
fight the zombies!
The neighborhood is under attack! And it’s up to Kane and his army of zombie
rubber duckies to save the day!
Zombie Ducks is a surprising, horrifying tale of zombie toys fighting other zombie toys. A terrifying tale filled with horror and gore, this story was an entertaining and frightening read.
