Eat Your Heart Out
by
Dayna Ingram (Goodreads Author)
A breakneck tale of kick-ass, wise-ass, sexy-ass lesbians and ZOMBIES, Eat Your Heart Out opens on what promises to be another tediously annoying day at Ashbee’s Furniture Outlet. Then the strip-mall calm of Nowhere, Ohio, is shattered by the sudden, simultaneous appearance of Renni Ramirez—hyper-competent star of the beloved Rising Evil B-movie franchise—and actual ZOMBIE...more

when i am promised "a lesbian zombie novel," i kind of expect that the zombies are going to be lesbians, with all the emotional and physical difficulties such a relationship would entail, and some "we're here, we're queer, we're gonna eat your children".lesbian werewolves were, after all, lesbian werewolves...
but this is a novel, in fact, about zombies, in which there are some lesbian characters.so if you are planning on reading some hot girl-zombie on girl-zombie action, this is probably not t...more
I finished this book on the Autobahn, kind of looking over my shoulder all the while. It's never a good idea to read in the car, but with this one, the queasiness seemed like a fine companion.
"Heart Out" promised me lesbians and zombies and booyeah, that's exactly what I got.
Devin works in a furniture store, living a life that could be dead-end or could be all right--it's a bit ambiguous. She just got promoted at work, she cohabits with a beautiful girl (who doesn't want to touch her, but that...more

This book was quirky, entertaining and I could totally relate! Have I ever had a cheating girlfriend that worked at a porn shop before? Well, no, but I did work at a local porn shop... And one time this guy with a bloody shirt came in, but surely he wasn't a zombie... And I have never stripped before... ANYWAY!
As many times as I had wanted to punch Devin in the face for being such a doormat, I 1 million times more wanted to see what she would do or what would happen to her next! Having a detach...more

I was tempted to give this one star but, since I wrote it, I guess I have to give it five.
Okay, zombies I can buy into, but there are some very unrealistic moments in this book. I mean, when the zombie outbreak happens (and it WILL happen) who the hell is gonna have time to fuck in a field and not even worry about STDs? Or babies. I mean, shouldn't SOMEONE be freaking out about saving all the babies?!? If this novella really wanted to be realistic, I would have put in a scene where Devon has sex...more

Note: Uncorrected Proof received directly from the author who is a close friend of the reviewer. There may be some bias.
Three stars and a waffle.
Dayna Ingram has written the quintessential lesbian zombie novel, perhaps the only lesbian zombie novel really. Our brazen narrator is Devin, a 22 year old recently promoted to Manager in Training furniture store worker with an ex-stripper now sex shop employee for a girlfriend. Devin is a bit awkward, but adorably so, and she is as exuberant and quirky...more

I'm not usually a zombie fan, but apparently when you give me a wry, dorky butch dyke narrator whose life is a disaster before the living dead show up, I make an exception. This was fun and entertaining (and gross, as zombies tend to be!) and a quick read, easy to devour (heh) in an afternoon.
I feel like it started more strongly than it ended; the last quarter threw a lot of ideas at the zombie problem all at once, and the chaos didn't serve the overall story very well. But it was still a good t...more

Never heard of the publishers or the author, but this was a suprisingly entertaining book. Sure, it is yet another zombie story, but it does offer an interesting new twist on the genre plus a whole bunch of fun characters, including some pretty capable heroines and nonstop actions...although in parts the gore gets overwhelmed by some particularly gross bodily functions. I'd love to know what Ms. Rodriguez would think of this loving homage, but in literary form she kicks ass just as much as in he...more
Este libro es lo mejor, lo pasé muy bien leyéndolo. El final es algo apresurado, pero está bien para un libro ligero y corto. Lo mejor es, que a pesar de eso, la autora es capaz de describir los personajes y sucesos de manera lo suficientemente específica como para poder sumergirte en este "apocalipsis zombie" con una facilidad casi natural. Además, posee un humor cercano y recurrente que se agradece.
La relación que se va formando entre Devin y Renni es genial, ojalá pudiéramos saber más de ella...more

I really wanted to like this book, because I have been looking for lesbian zombie apocalypse books for years (luckily, there are more than just this one now, but still). Luckily, this book is just as good as it sounds. First of all, it’s hilarious. I kept reading out passages to my partner, but I’d only get another sentence in before I wanted to read out more. This is mostly because the main character, Devin, is sarcastic and funny herself.
The zombies appear pretty much from the first sentence,...more

Eat Your Heart Out is not your typical zombie book. It's about a lesbian and an actress, who is either bi-sexual or lesbian (I never figured out which one) trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. I liked most of the characters. The two characters I didn't like are Brad and Carmelle. Brad cussed way too much, and it got annoying after awhile. I didn't like Carmelle because she cheated on Devin, but Devin still wanted to be with her. My favorite character was Renni Ramirez. She was very kick-ass th...more
Eat Your Heart Out is funny as heck in many parts and very touching in others. It unravels in your mind like a fast-paced movie, much better in your imagination than it probably ever could be captured on film. Dayna Ingram is a smart, snappy writer who takes what other writers would never be able to lift off the ground and keeps in running till you reach the end and wish it could start over again! This is a fun, enjoyable read that makes you fervently hope Ms. Ingram is at work on more fiction!:...more

This is fun, stylish, and funny with lesbians and zombies. But I wanted to love it and didn't. Ms. Ingram can write, but she needs an editor. Far too much reliance on exposition (particularly at the end with a terrible infodump) and far too much dialog. The dialog is clever and witty, but I found myself skipping over pages of it. The story sort of ambles like a zombie toward an 'anticlimactic' (in the words of the main character) non-climax. It's a fun ride, but don't expect more than that.
this book is so much fun! i mean, what more could you want?
zombies, humour, lesbians, michelle rodriguez - sorry i mean, "renni ramirez" - fighting zombies and generally being badass ...
i laughed out loud often. although not exactly scary, it was definitely suspenseful. mostly this is just a fun, entertaining book!
maybe felt like it ended a bit soon, i thought for sure that there was going to be more to the story, but for a short novel it's excellent. it's well-paced and the characters are belie...more

I actually liked this storyline pretty well. I don't want to say too much of anything, because I know I'd give some things away, but I will say one or two things. I don't like how Devin let Carmelle walk all over her even after she caught her cheating. I also like the ending, though it left a lot to my imagination. I give it either a 6 or 7 out of 10
As I picked up Ingram's lesbian zombie novella I had to wonder if my zombie obsession has gone too far. On Netflix I tend to skip over the "Stripper Zombies" category but I can't seem to get enough of the zombie genre in general. After months of reading various zombie fiction I finally came to this clever and satirical little gem. The mighty female protagonist in Alden Bell's *The Reapers are the Angels* is outdone by this cast of Michelle Rodriguez-like ass-kickers. Ingram writes with tongue-in...more
Random library find, and I loved it! Published by a small press.

Gross, funny, gross and a little hot in that kinky kinda way. Evil Dead meets Resident Evil in a morbid lesbian wet dream.
Dayna Ingram's writing style is fluid and enjoyably digestible. A quick and fun read.
I don't read lesbian zombie books, normally, or actually never. I'm super glad I did this time. Ingram does an amazing job of showing how dire situations increase the speed and strength of our connections. The story never stops and fun was had by all, which means me.

Funny, creepy, witty; the perfect antidote to "Walking Dead" withdrawal.
A rollicking, fun-filled and often gross joy ride through a zombie-filled Midwestern city in good company.
