This is the book that accompanies the movie of the same name. I love the movie. It's the best and saddest teen zombie musical ever! The book is also good. A few extra scenes, still depressing, not a bad read 🧟‍♂️

Last month, I actually managed to watch a bunch of horror movies that I‘ve been meaning to get around to for forever. “Knives Out” was easily one of the best movies I‘ve seen all year. I threw in “Anna and the Apocalypse”, which I actually watched a few months ago and needs only three words of explanation: Zombie. Christmas. Musical. (I actually bought a few songs from the soundtrack before I even finished the movie.) I‘ll read it eventually.

I loved it! I took the time to put this book right into my eyes and boy was it a fun experience. Scottish teenagers at Christmas during a zombie apocalypse, what could be better! Keeping myself away from potential spoilers, I really enjoyed this and I‘m going to find the movie!🍿 🎥 Let me end by saying the kills were both creative AND festive.

I don‘t want to be super dramatic but I‘m trying to work and I just want to read this so bad. Put it right into my eyeballs! Why has it been sitting in my shelf unread for so long!? Why do I have to work when I should be reading it!?

So. Many. Regrets.

A good day. 😊. Worked, went for a walk and listened to more of Sunset Beach, fixed dinner with my daughter, and watched our first Christmas movie — Anna and the Apocalypse. 😄 My Anna is learning how to be an aerialist; I love this picture she texted me.

I'm only about 30 minutes into this #HolidayMovie and I'm already loving it. Its like Shaun of the dead and a Christmas musical rolled together.😄😄

Zombie Christmas! This was surprisingly good! Some absolutely bonkers fight scenes, but some surprisingly touching scenes too. I'll have to watch the movie now. (11pts. 10 for theme, 1 for post)

angrylilasian I didn‘t know this was a book! Just watched the movie and really liked it! 5y
night_shift @angrylilasian is going to find the movie probably today to watch! I thought it was a pretty good read, but it's pretty split in half on here. 5y

I just finished this as an audiobook and it was just okay. Apparently it is also a movie; I will definitely check that out. As I was listening to it I kept thinking, "this reads more like a movie." Now I know why since the book came after.

It was a quick, quirky read, but I never reached the point where I felt connected to the characters.

Book 13 for my #screamathon totals. @4thhouseontheleft

Watched this Christmas Zombie musical - yes you read that right! It was really good - and even though it‘s set at X-Mas, I think with all the blood and gore it counts as a point for #teamslaughter @Clwojick

kamoorephoto I want to read the book this is based on...! 5y
StayCurious @kamoorephoto the book May have come after, but I want to read it anyway 🙂 5y
kamoorephoto @StayCurious Isn‘t that crazy to write a book AFTER the musical????!!! 5y

This story has been done a lot but I love zombies so I always try to read books about them. This story could have been good but it felt disjointed and scattered. There was really no plot or character development. A lot of the times I‘d be reading and was confused, so I would read it again and it still confused me.

There were a few funny lines that had me lol. It just needed a few more rounds of editing and then it could have been decent.

The zombie apocalypse has started and these two teenage boys are discussing which celebrities would survive it. Lol of course Taylor Swift and her cute kitties survive!

After finishing a truly terrible book, thought I‘d go for something silly on audio.

akckitty Well this is true.... This book is truly silly. I just finished this the other day! 6y
Bookzombie I thought the movie was fun and have the book on hold at my library. I also listened to the soundtrack yesterday. 🙂 6y

I caved in and broke my book buying ban and took advantage of BN bookhaul sale. I ordered these online the other day and picked them up today.

I went to the #bookhaul preview at BN last night and I must say I was disappointed. I had looked at the books online and had my list ready when I went in. All the books were laid on 3 tables. And it wasn‘t anywhere near the 400+ books they said. Plus some of the books on my list that were on the main webpage were only 20% off in store. The manager gave me that book ( courting darkness) at the 1/2 off but there were so many others. 👇🏻

LibrarianRyan Here my haul. The Harlow Quinn book as well as Black Leopard are not part of the book haul. But so many littens say black leopard author is wonderful and he was 40% off so I thought I would go for it. 6y
papertimemachines I was disappointed as well. Part of that was my fault though, because at first I thought it was site wide 50% off. 6y
Traci1 My BN is a 45 minute drive away, and I was definitely expecting more. There were 4 tables. Three of which were YA and Kid book tables. I came home with 4 books, but it was disappointing. 6y

LibrarianRyan @Traci1 our kids book selection was almost nil. I had quite a few kids titles on my list but nope. Lots of adult fiction tiles but only one or two copies each. 6y
Traci1 @LibrarianRyan half of my store's selection were middle grade books. Which is great if that is what you're looking for. I am regretting not picking up your tagged book. Well, not buying it. I picked it up and carried it around for a while but put it back down for some reason. 😞 6y
Gissy I bought some on online because we don't have B&N here. 6y

The plot of this story really got my attention, a teen zombie Christmas story. Normally I don't pick up book adaptations of films but I'd already started reading before I found out. It was a fun and silly read, although I didn't really connect with any of the characters. I give it 3 out of 5 stars and will definitely watch the movie. I hear it's a musical too!😉

DivineDiana The movie sounds hilarious! 😂 6y

Such a great day! Saw an awesome movie (seriously, it‘s fantastic, if you have a chance - go see it!) and got some new comics. Looking forward to these books when I take some time off for the holiday. #bookhaul #zombiexmasmusicalsarethebestmusicals

ohyeahthatgirl Godshaper and Coyotes are easily two of my favorite comics of all time. The art on bith is so unique! 6y
Eyelit Good to know! The art is what drew my attention - and both have intriguing synopses 😃 @ohyeahthatgirl 6y
RadicalReader @Eyelit I thought on the cover of Coyotes was Red Queen from the Tim Burton‘s Alice in Wonderland 6y

Complete brain candy. It offers absolutely no nutritional value but is deliciously entertaining. Full of blood & guts, pop culture references, slap-stick humor, Christmas spirit. & oh did I mention lots of zombies. It was a quick and easy read. I am excited to see how this is translated into musical form.

Eyelit I just saw the movie and loved it - now I want to get a copy of the book to compare 😄 6y
jackilynn @Eyelit I wish it was playing somewhere near me so I could go see it. Musical + zombies + Christmas...what's not to love lol 6y
Eyelit Well at least it should be available on dvd sometime soon! 6y

I really want to see this movie. I am a huge fan of musicals so when I saw 'zombies, singing, & Christmas' I said, "sign me up"!!! Unfortunately it isn't playing near me so I will attempt to read the novelization instead.
