BATTLE OF THE NETWORK ZOMBIES

Book ID/图书代码： 14780009B30641

English Summary/英文概要： In Seattle’s undead circles, Amanda Feral is one of the beautiful zombies. Of course, when you’re socializing with werewolves, devils, and rampaging yetis, there’s not that much competition. Still, Amanda has a stylish rep to maintain, which is getting tricky now that her tanking ad agency is obliterating her finances. The fastest way to make some cash: appear on a new reality show, American Minions, hosted by lecherous wood nymph Johnny Birch. Classy? Maybe not, but a girl’s gotta eat.

With zombie gal pal Wendy posing as her bitchy agent, Amanda settles in to “Minions Mansion,” crowded with 24-7 video cameras and undead fame whores. When Johnny is found incinerated in a locked room, Amanda decides to channel her inner Miss Marple (minus the fugly cardigans) and find out who’s responsible. Was it Hairy Sue, the white trash stripper yeti? Tanesha, the glamorous trannie werewolf? Angie, the Filipino vampire with a detachable head? Unveiling the culprit in a heart-stopping finale won’t just save the show from cancellation, it might just keep Amanda alive—or as close as a ghoul can get…

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在西雅图不死圈中，阿曼达•费勒（Amanda Feral ）是一名美丽的僵尸。当然，当你和狼人、魔鬼以及耶蒂什的狂暴（rampaging yetis）打交道的时候，其实没有什么竞争可言。然而，阿曼达还是很典型的代表，她狡猾的代理人正逐步破坏她的金融。最快的赚钱办法就是在约翰•伯几（Johnny Birch）的秀上演一场真实秀。时髦？也许未必，但是女孩子一定爱看。有她的笔友温迪（Wendy）做她的经纪人，阿曼达曝露在摄像机面前。当约翰被反锁在房间，阿曼达决心透过她的内在枫叶小姐（Miss Marple）找出罪魁祸首。是毛人休（Sue）还是白色垃圾脱衣舞者耶蒂（Yedi）？或者是狼人塔内莎（Tanesha,）？安吉（Angie），菲律宾的吸血鬼，他的头可以自由分离？揭露出最终结局之后也并非故事的结局，你猜不着安吉是生是死，或者只有传说中的盗尸鬼才能．．．(XJJ)

Awards/获奖情况：海芙蒂（Hefty）的包上应该印上聪明、快节奏、愉悦的蹩脚字样。亨利的第三部阿曼达•费勒（Amanda Feral）小说（自2009年《活死人旅途》Road Trip of the Living Dead）巧妙地串进了流行文化。阿曼达聪明又有点出言不逊，她是永生不死的，她极度渴望现实秀能够大获成功，这样她就可以有钱请人评估她的财政问题。当有人谋杀了秀的主持人，一个丛林仙女、演出参与者，包括比利时盗墓食尸鬼、狼人、两个精灵、脱衣舞者以及长着触手的护手师，每一个都摆脱不了嫌疑。阿曼达一边尽力找出元凶的同时还要想办法重建和狼人男友的感情。亨利通过欢欣的笔调曲折迂回地交代了一些睿智有趣的暗示。（三月）--来自《每周出版人》（Publishers Weekly）

Clever, fast-paced, and so delightfully trashy that it should have been printed on Hefty bags, Henry’s third Amanda Feral novel (after 2009’s Road Trip of the Living Dead) smartly skewers popular culture. Brilliant, bitchy undead diva Amanda is desperate for a fledgling reality show to succeed, because being paid to judge it is the only thing that can keep her financially afloat. When someone murders the show’s host, a would-be playboy wood nymph, the show’s contestants—a snooty Belgian ghoul, a werewolf drag queen, a pair of sirens, a down-home backwoods stripper, and a tentacled manicurist—are all suspects. Amanda’s got to solve the case while attempting to rebuild a relationship with her werewolf boyfriend. Henry gleefully delivers a sharp-edged, snarky whodunit with some smart and funny twists.
