Zombie Boyz Interview

What body part food do you consider a delicacy? Do Aussies, Brits, and Americans all taste alike?

Zombie Ethan: I love to bite ass. Nothing taste good as butt. Meaty and chewy. ‘Mericans are da best. Taste sweet. Don’t like the Brits. Sour and stringy with bad aftertaste. Aussies, dey taste like chicken.

Zombie Eric: Balls. Not everybody has a pair. It’s all meat loaf to me.

Zombie TJ: I only go for the brains, because I’m a sensitive soul. And I can’t say for sure if Aussies taste different. You’ll have to ask Geoff that one. I’ve heard he’s had plenty.

Zombie Geoff: Well, I have a daily routine. For breakfast, I love toasted brains with a generous spread of Vegemite smeared on top. Delicious! At lunchtime I normally pull into my local Beefcake Bob’s Burgers drive-thru for something quick and easy, and since they pretty much only serve brains since the Pandemic Transviral Apocalypse of 2013, I treat myself to a juicy Big Brains burger and maybe some brainuggets. And in the evening I light up the BBQ! Mate, have you ever thrown a few brains on the barbie? They’re just like crabs and prawns; it can be hard getting them out of the shell but the effort is well worth it. So yummy and succulent.

Zombies are often stigmatized by negative stereotypes. Tell us something we’d be surprised to learn about you.

Zombie Ethan: My dick still works. I want love. I very lonely. I promise I do my best not to eat his brains.

Zombie Eric: I’m fluent in three tongues.

Zombie TJ: I have a heart of gold. That doesn’t beat. Because I’m dead.

Zombie Geoff: Well, if you’ve read “Guess Who’s Coming At Dinner”, you’ll know that zombie DNA is now entwined with that of cows. We’re very fond of them. They’re such gentle, intelligent creatures. Oh, I know you’re probably thinking cows are dumb, but that’s just because you don’t speak cow. They come out with the wisest things you’ve ever heard, like, “My udders are so swollen they must be pink, but my neck doesn’t reach down far enough for me to see!” and “I know that bird on my back is great at picking nits, but if he did it just a little to the left I’d appreciate symbiosis so much more!” and “All other species are really missing out by not having a second stomach and eating the same thing twice. Except maybe the octopus. They have three stomachs. Over-achievers!” See how wise cows are!?

Favorite place to hunt for brains hang out?

Zombie Ethan: McDonalds.

Zombie Eric: Fitness centers and weight rooms. Mmmmm…. It’s like Ponderosa for the undead.

Zombie TJ: Any place that sells skinny jeans. It’s the easiest way to make sure the people who buy them are the first to go.

Zombie Geoff: Since reading Eric and TJ’s “Ghoul’s Gym”, I’m now officially a gym junkie! Working out never tasted so good! When I’m not at the gym, you’ll find me in Vegas. After reading Ethan Stone and Daniel’s “Surviving Sin City”, I know to always bet on the red!

If you could meet eat any famous person, living or dead undead, who would it be and why?

Zombie Ethan: Kevin Bacon and Meat Loaf. They just seem like such cool people to eat…I mean meet.

Zombie Eric: Vin Diesel. But that might just be my stomach talking.

Zombie TJ: Adam Richman from Man vs. Food. I think he’d go down nicely. (Ha!  That means TWO things.)

Zombie Geoff: Oh I love having guests for dinner, and I’d love to meet Albert Einstein. He could tell me all the things he knows, and later, after dinner, I could digest it all in my own time.

If you could cast yourself in the remake of any non-zombie movie, what part would you play, and how would the fact that the character is now a zombie affect the role?

Zombie Ethan: I’d make a good Superman. Zombie of Steel sound pretty good, don’t it. I take care of all undead. Do whatever it take. Trust me. Trust, justice and the undead way.

Zombie Eric: And Then There Were None. I’d be the last little Indian.

Zombie TJ: I would want to play Madonna’s part in Body Of Evidence. If you’re going to act like you’re undead, you might as well already be undead. (This also pertains to every movie she has ever made. Leave acting to the professionals. Like Britney Spears.)

Zombie Geoff: Oh, do you even have to ask? Of course I’d be a shoe-in for Meg Ryan’s character in When Harry Met Sally. Guess Who’s Coming At Dinner is just begging for a line like “I’ll have what he’s having!”

Have you read or heard about Zombie Boyz, the newly released zombie anthology from Wilde City Press? If so, what can you tell us about it?

Zombie Ethan: OMG, the stories are funny and sexy and scary. So good.

Zombie Eric: Oh, sure. I’ve heard of it. In fact, I have to go. I’m meeting Tj Klune and Eric Arvin…FOR DINNER.

Zombie TJ: I’ve heard about it. It may or may not be factually accurate to the zombie way of life. I will say one thing, though. Give me five minutes alone with that Eric Arvin. He’s beefy enough to last me at least a week.

Zombie Geoff: It’s the best gay romance zombie apocalypse book full of romance and brains and love and sex ever written. It’ll make you laugh and cry and hide behind the sofa with a shotgun. But seriously, I know there are a lot of people out there who are wondering how the hell gay romance and zombies can come together in harmony. Please read this book. You’ll be surprised! This is like nothing you’ve ever read before… in a good way! Hey, zombies need love too! ☺
