You Are So Undead to Me by Stacey Jay

Fifteen-year-old Megan Berry is a Zombie Settler by birth, which means she’s part-time shrink to a bunch of dead people with a whole lot of issues.

All Megan wants is to be normal—and go to homecoming, of course. Unfortunately, it’s a little difficult when your dates keep getting interrupted by a bunch of slobbering Undead.

Things are about to get even more complicated for Megan. Someone in school is using black magic to turn average, angsty Undead into flesh-eating Zombies, and it’s looking like homecoming will turn out to be a very different kind of party—the bloody kind.

Megan must stop the Zombie apocalypse descending on Carol, Arkansas. Her life—and more importantly, homecoming—depends on it.

Zombie Socks Zombie

Zombie Blondes by Brian James

From the moment Hannah Sanders arrived in town, she felt there was something wrong.
A lot of houses were for sale, and the town seemed infected by an unearthly quiet. And then, on Hannah’s first day of classes, she ran into a group of cheerleaders—the most popular girls in school.
The odd thing was that they were nearly identical in appearance: blonde, beautiful, and deathly pale.But Hannah wants desperately to fit in—regardless of what her friend Lukas is telling her: if she doesn’t watch her back, she’s going to be blonde and popular and dead—just like all the other zombies in this town. . . .
Generation Dead by Daniel Waters

Phoebe is just your typical goth girl with a crush. He's strong and silent...and dead.

Zombies Calling by Faith Erin Hicks (graphic novel)

Joss's life sucks. She's in the middle of university exams, up to her neck in student loans, and when she's attacked by zombies, her roommates have the nerve to think she's making it up. But when the zombies turn out to be terrifyingly real, only Joss knows how to survive the undead invasion: by following the Rules of Zombie Movies.

Oh sweet. I love all things Zombie. I would eat my neighbor's brains because he is always whistling and it drives me nuts.

Anonymous said...

Eat someone's brain? I think that goes a little too far, but... I think I would like to have Kelly Clarkson's because I've always wondered how she could sing like that.

May I be entered for Prize Pack #1?

Thanks!

I would eat Paris Hilton's or Britney Spears' because it would be nice and fresh, since it is hardly ever used.

Rebekah E. said...

That is a hard one, there really isn't anyone who bothers me that bad. Lets see, maybe I would eat this girls I went to school with named Becky. She use to pick on my every day for a year.

Anonymous said...

I like Cyn's logic, so I will have whichever brain she doesn't want-- paris's or Britney's. We do everything together, so I should just copy her. :-)

If you became a Zombie tomorrow, whose brain would you most want to eat and why?

Hmm...I'm going to give myself a zombie super power and say that when I eat someone's brain I take upon thier knowledge and thier essence into myself...so I would want to eat the brain of any published author so I can have inspiration to do that too!

Anonymous said...

Zombies!!!! It's good to see more teen zombie novels, especially considering that they have girls as the main characters!

If I were a zombie I'd guess I'd eat the brain of some evil dictator.

Lenore Appelhans said...

It would have to be the brains of all the guys on wall street!

GreenBeanTeenQueen said...

I'd wanna eat a smart brain. Maybe than I would become super smart and become famous, rich and powerful!

HylianVampire said...

While i love ghosts, i'm not a big fan of zombies. And mermaids, and evil witches. I should give some of these books a chance, though, and would love to be entered for a chance to win either prize pack (i'm sure they're both good)

If I became a zombie tomorrow, i'd love to eat Christopher Moore's brain because he's the most hilarious author, ever. Like with what Stacey said, I'd absorb their smarts and stuff when i ate their brain matter. :)

Chesh said...

If i became a zombie, I think I would eat the brain of Tom Cruise, because I always wanted to know what insane tastes like...probably bad chicken. LOL!!!!

Sara said...

Eat a brain...I'd probably eat McCain's brain, to make sure that Obama wins the election! The power in McCain's hands seems way to risky and scary..

Sara

asdfjkl; said...

Okay, Gross?!

Um... probably a comedian. I love to laugh and it would be a bonus if I could use his brainpower to make other people laugh. But theire laughter might be dulled if a brain eating zombie was telling the joke. Who knows?

Please enter me for Prize Pack Two!

Khy said...

Hmmm....I'd want to eat the brain of a person with the bestest story ideas ever, since I can never come up with story ideas.

Diana Dang said...

To be honest, I don't have anyone! Lol! Maybe a friend so I can turn them too. I don't want to be a lonely zombie!

Natalie Hatch said...

Whenever I watch zombie movies I hear the words "Would you like fries with that?" every time.
I would eat Al Capones brain (if he were still alive) to find out where he stashed all his money, and then I would go grab said money and play in the sun. But being dead I would have to wear a lot of sunscreen so my skin doesn't dry out. (No one really understands how much effort zombies have to put into a day).

Shooting Stars Mag said...

First, I blogged about this here:

http://shootingstarsmag.blogspot.com/2008/10/win-it-wednesday_15.html

I posted a reminder about the Ghosts first and if you go down, I mention that the zombie post is now up! :)

As for the question. If I was a zombie...hmm...I guess to eat someone's brain and make them powerless, I'd pick someone who was killing people or something.

Emily Marshall said...

Wow, tons of awesome Zombie books. I'd want to eat someone's brains with the hope I'd get something from it. So I guess Meg Cabot's. I'd really like to see how her brain works, since she's hilarious and can write so freakin fast.

Anonymous said...

Hmmm...that's a tough one, but I'd have to say I'd probably eat Johnny Depp's brains because he's freakin hot! LOL--okay sorry got a bit of a crush there :o)

Aubrey said...

I would go back to high school and eat the brains of all the people that were mean. Revenge is sweet.

Anonymous said...

If I became a zombie, I would eat the brain of one of those really mean girls back in school, it's not like they need it anyways. haha. Just joking. Well, kind of. But if I'm a zombie, I figured that I might as well be as evil as I can be. =)

If I were a zombie I would want to eat The Grimm's Brothers' brains! I think that if their brains were cool enough to think of the stories they wrote, then, they'd be cool to eat too. :)

it would have to be someone who's smart or just plane talented. I would probably try Bill Gates or Oprah to get their wealthy talent. Or if just for fun J.K. Rowling, Gail Carson Levine, Shannon Hale, etc. to be able to dream in their fantasy worlds.

Crystal Adkins said...

OMG what an awesome prize! Hmmm who's brain would I eat first? I would pick Paula Deen. She's the most awesome cook I've ever seen so I know her brain would be sweet and buttery lol!

Hrmmm...I don't think I'd like brains too much. They're just so slimy...ick.

Anonymous said...

Lord, I am such a zombie nut, so this is totally awesome! If I had to eat someone's brain it would probably be my brother's girlfriend....it's a long story.

Anonymous said...

Oh, I posted about this on my sidebar.

Enchanted by Books said...

I would eat JK Rowling's brain so I could become a successful multi millionare author after learning all her secret stories that she stores in her brain. Muhahaha! (that's my evil laugh)

tv_girl said...

Oh, if I was a zombie, I'd eat Edgar Allan Poe's brain, he was a genius. And he was a pure master of gothic literature.

Liviania said...

I would want to eat Bill Gates. It seems like his has a decent amount of info to feast on. I mean, you don't want to rip off someone's skull and discover an undernurished brain! It would be rude to go, "Um . . . nevermind" after you've gone that far.

Shalonda said...

Great question! Although the sound of eating brains sounds disgusting, I would have to eat the brains of someone super intelligent, just so I wouldn't starve to death. It would be hard to find Bill Gates, so I guess I would just settle for the first engineer or mathematician I could find.

Dominique said...

Even if I became a zombie, I don't think I'd really want to eat anyone's brains cause we had this rather gruesome discussion in biology class on the, er, more harmful effects on one's body from munching on other people's brains. lol

Sarah Woodard said...

I think if I became a zombie, I wouldn't really care whose brains I was eating.

mom2boys said...

I would want to eat a smart and gifted brain so I would eat Stephenie Meyers brain. Then may be I could write a series of books as awesome as the Twilight saga. Thanks for the cool giveaway!

Kelsey said...

Hmm....I'd think I'd want to eat the brain of someone really evil, like a dictator or a serial killer/rapists or something on that order.

I blogged about it on my sidebar.

If you became a Zombie tomorrow, whose brain would you most want to eat and why?

I would probably eat the brains of quite a few people if I was permanently a zombie, being that that is their food habit; but, for certain, I would eat the brain of the paranormal investigators and people who could possibly out the secret of my (and others if there were) existence. :]

Mari said...

Well, I have always been told that you are what you eat, so I cna't choose someone with no brains...Hmm. How about Tina Fey. Maybe her wit would rub off on me. :)

Amelia said...

I thought I already left a comment but I didn't see it. I would probably eat my dad's brains cause he's the only person within a one mile radius of my house. BUT if I got to choose whose brains to eat I would say John David. My BFFs ex. Yeah he deserves to have his brain eaten.

hmmm ... right now I think I'll eat the brain of the guy across the street playing the music in his truck so loud that I can hear it in my house (especially the booming bass) through all my closed doors and windows. Grrrr....

Breanna said...

Ooooh can you enter me for prize pack 1 please?!

Hmm...if I were to become a zombie I would eat the brain of the horribly annoying and rude girl that sits next to my friend in I in our math class. This girl is by far the worst girl I've known of in a while. And I HATE her voice! She has the worst smoker's voice in the World!

Okay I'm done with my rant. I'd totally go after her first if I were to become a zombie lol.

Oooh..I like to eat Stephen King's brain...I will probably turn into the creepiest zombie ever! :P

The Compulsive Reader said...

Perhaps the brain of this old calc teacher I had. He gave sadistic a new meaning. I would very much like to devour that brain to see why he felt a need to inflict a pop quiz on the most esoteric things. And to have his mad math skills, even if I couldn't put them to use.

What great contests this month! The books look awesome too! I prefer not to be a zombie or I wouldn't be able to read these awesome books. If a zombie caught me (probably while I was reading these awesome books) and I became a zombie too I may have to hunt down my best friend and eat her brain so we could at least have a good time together as zombies. Thanks for your offer! this is fun!

Kristen said...

ummm... I would eat the brain of ummm... Jane Austen? Because then I might be able to write like her or think like her or maybe because I had eaten her mind, her thoughts would become like her and I could have an Elizabeth Bennett-type romance...

Kristen said...

Oh I forgot to mention that I posted about your contest again in my blog... http://krissmodernlife.blogspot.com/2008/10/brooke-taylors-contest-week-3.html

Zombies!!! I <3 zombies. Must enter at last minute.

If I could eat anybody's brain... it would be J. K. Rowling's. Not sure why. Maybe it tastes like Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans?
