Corey Redekop brings the zombie genre into new territory, granting his lead baffling self-awareness as he literally tries to piece his life together after waking mid-autopsy in Toronto General Hospital. For such fantastic circumstances, it was impressively realistic.

It even had me questioning certain cornerstones of the modern zombie myth, such as moaning: without the need for oxygen, thus no need for breathing, why are zombies always moaning and groaning as they relentlessly pursue human flesh? Sheldon rehearses his speech with care, with grim results: "I curved my tongue against the roof of my mouth to get a hiss of air going, and contracted my lungs, forming my lips and tongue around my name: SSsssshhhheeellleeee. It was a gruesome utterance, a word of putrefaction, splatting heavily on the floor like clotted cream gone rancid."

The book tackles some pretty heavy topics while maintaining a wonderful humorous tone. Sheldon is conflicted when killing his dinner, but is powerless to overcome it. Themes such as human rights and even eating disorders are touched on with humour as Sheldon comes to terms with his new needs for sustenance (“Who knew death could lead to an eating disorder?”).

That the book takes place in my hometown was just an added amusement. It wasn't located so heavily that I felt it was cheesy, but just enough to be identifiable. There occasionally seemed to be undue importance given to American government organizations. Sure, he's an actor that occasionally works in the states. But wouldn't he be more worried about CSIS than the FBI/CIA who don't have any jurisdiction in Canada? And if he's so worried about them and not the Canadian government, then why go down there in the first place? I grant that this is probably to increase the appeal of the book down south, so I can't fault the author too heavily.

All in all it was a fantastic book that treats the zombie myth in a new way. I can’t help but wonder if this might spawn a new era of YA/Crossover books à-la-Twilight: The mysterious shambling zombie-teen enters the cafeteria, where the only appetizing thing he sees is Mary-Sue. “A guy who finally wants me for my brains, and not my generic lacklustre appearance!”(less)

I'm sure many people have a parent who is struggling with dementia, to the point where they are wasting away in a nursing institution of some kind. I'm also fairly sure that in each city, across the globe, there is an abundance of struggling actors, eagerly accepting any and every audition, in their search for stardom. These actors, like Sheldon, are probably finding many of those auditions to be lacking promise, or just outright disastrous. Throw in an unfulfilling relationship, being close to broke, and having an agent who really doesn't care, and you still have a list of issues that other people have experienced.

Just as he thinks his life can't possibly get worse, he wakes one day to find himself a little confused, a stiffness throughout his body, and an insatiable ravenous appetite.. for human flesh.

With an audition coming up, you can imagine the inconvenience of discovering you are, in fact, undead. What follows is a sometimes tragic, sometimes hilarious, almost always brutally and disgustingly detailed description of events as Sheldon struggles to find the solution to his problems, and hopefully without ending up being part of some experimental research project.

And you think you have problems....

I just had to read this book. I admit, I have a fondness for all things zombie, and when this one was introduced to me, I was ecstatic. The back of the book teases with the promise of a memorable experience and it doesn't disappoint. From the beginning, the narrator (Sheldon Funk, himself) grabs the attention of the reader, and pulls us along in a non-stop, fast-paced (or as fast as a lumbering zombie can move), and horribly detailed journey of self-discovery and hope. I found myself constantly hoping that Sheldon would get his break and become an A-list actor. Maybe he could even find a little true love with someone who could take that 'love is blind' adage to a whole new level.

What I can say, is that Sheldon Funk wormed his way into my heart. As I crept closer to the end of the book, I felt a sadness that only comes from knowing you are saying goodbye to a dear friend, not knowing whether you will see them again. His story, wonderfully woven by Corey Redekop, will guide you through such a vast range of emotions, including the occassional urge to throw up, or to seek help for ribs that are bruised from the laughter. I personally found it highly original and loved the theories that we are presented with throughout the pages. It was greatly refreshing to see a book that has clearly been researched, and that feeds the readers intellect through the entire process.

For me, this book also had an added bonus. I am an absolute fan of a certain movie director, his wife, and an actor all of which I won't name for fear of spoiling the reading experience. To have them woven into the book also, in a way that was quite plausible (in fact, I actually went to IMDB.com with a shred of hope that such a movie could exist), just really added a little something special for me. I love books in which the author can suspend disbelief and draw you into the book utterly, and completely, as this one did.

I loved this book so much and it has one of the best, if not THE best, ending I've experienced in a book.

On a fun note: Sheldon Funk has his own Twitter account @SheldonFunk.

Some time ago I vowed never to waste my time reading anything about zombies, vampires (sparkly or otherwise), and especially to avoid anything to do with Jane Austen and/or Abraham Lincoln and vampires.

Well, I broke my vow with Husk and have to say -- I did not puke while reading this book. I did however find it impressive and hard to put down. I generally find satires start with an original approach and then become less interesting. Husk (I thought) hit that plateau with the Tim Burton movie an...more

When I started reading Husk, the newest novel by Corey Redekop, I immediately started thinking about Chuck Palahniuk. Still, I’m quite new to Palahniuk’s work, so the first novel that came to mind wasn’t Haunted (a novel I loved), but instead Pygmy, a novel which I despised. This isn’t to say that I despised Redekop’s novel – not in the least – but the fact that the whole time I was reading I kept thinking that it was a good thing I wasn’t eating anything was what brought Pygmy to mind.

For lack of a better statement, this novel is gross. If you like your zombies to eat people, you’ll be in for a treat! If you like your zombie novels to have lots of blood and gore and plenty of ‘ew’ moments, then this is the book for you. Of course, when I think of zombies, the zombie that’s in Husk isn’t really what comes to mind. I liked the character of Sheldon and his journey of self-discovery as a zombie, BUT a big part of me knew, the entire time I was reading, that this wasn’t the zombie for me. The thing about Sheldon is that he can think and he can speak. Sure, he’s just a husk of a man, er … zombie … but he still has plenty of human instincts – minus a few that he reminisces about in the very beginning.

I did really like Redekop’s writing, even if this book didn’t exactly fit my style of reading. Redekop likes his words and descriptions and there is plenty of that going on. It was both interesting and utterly gruesome to read. Mind you, I like I good gruesome novel once in a blue moon, so if gruesome is your thing, all the power to you. However, even though there are plenty of scenes that’ll make you wish you didn’t eat lunch before reading the novel (or during), there are also many parts that will make you laugh out loud. Very funny lines, even if they sometimes cross the line at some points. There was quite a few times that I shook my head wondering, “Did I just read that right?” And yes, yes I did.

I started this book in a bus terminal on 2 January, not knowing that's where the narrator becomes infected with whatever causes him to be a zombie. Odd, that.

Husk is amusing in places, though it loses some steam in the middle where Sheldon, the gay Mennonite actor turned zombie, is going through his celebrity phase, having come out to his agent and then the world. Nothing in the novel rises to profundity and the language isn't particularly creative, but the story will carry you along on a someti...more

This alternative universe can be familiar, whimsical, or outlandish, or simply a place where strange and far-fetched things happen. This doesn’t really matter. What does matter is that the author’s confident treatment of the material dispels any doubts and draws the reader in. The author knows the events he’s describing can’t happen (the reader knows this too or else he’s in big trouble), but must never as much as hint to the reader that this is the case. Once the story grabs us the willing suspension of disbelief kicks in and all is forgiven. Such is Corey Redekop’s first novel, Husk, the story of Sheldon Funk, struggling small time actor turned zombie. Sheldon suffers a messy and ignominious death in a bus washroom, revives on the autopsy table, and escapes into Toronto of the here and now. Sheldon the zombie is unique: unlike others of his kind he is capable of assessing his actions and controlling his appetites. He knows eating people is wrong, it’s just that sometimes he can’t help himself. As a zombie Sheldon senses an opportunity and resumes his acting career, landing gigs he would never have had a hope of getting prior to his death. His agent is suitably impressed and pushes him until Sheldon is a headliner. With fame and fortune, however, comes unwanted scrutiny, the consequences of which lead Sheldon down a path he never saw coming. Redekop’s novel is by turns hilarious and horrific. Certain scenes are, quite literally—when you read the book you’ll see what I mean—stomach turning. Gore and gruesomeness abound. This might all seem like good fun. But there is a serious message lurking at the core of this novel, one regarding life and death and overweening ambition. In the blood-spattered pages of Husk Corey Redekop displays the confidence of a seasoned novelist. His concept is bizarre, his vision grotesque, but never once does he stray from his chosen path. The result is memorable and unceasingly entertaining. (less)

Corey Redekop’s Husk is a visceral, body novel with philosophical ponderings on existence. Redekop’s protagonist is a queer-oriented zombie actor, trapped in consciousness as his body deteriorates around him. The reader is put into the position of experiencing death and resurrection into a desiccated body and Redekop captures the feel of that experience – the emotional, physical, and psychological upheaval that would accompany the shift into a new form of bodily existence.

I do think the story would make an amazing movie!

Gamers know how prominently zombies figure in today's culture. As the last time I played a video game it was on an Atari console, I was utterly oblivious. It was serendipitous that the charms of a video game called Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 were revealed to me by a work colleague's 14 year old son who is an aficionado. In BO2 the player finds him/herself in a post-apocalyptic world populated by killer zombies wanting to feast on his flesh. Fortunately, each player is armed to the teeth with every imaginable weapon and a potentially endless supply of ammunition. The result is a never ending orgy of gory carnage. My young friend's revelation completely altered my view of the novel Husk by Corey Redekop. I already felt that Husk was one of the most enjoyable novels I'd read in a while. Using exuberant prose, a satirical viewpoint and darkly sly humour, Redekop makes a devastating statement on modern consumer society along the lines of the classic B-movie "Dawn of the Dead" (my era) in which zombies invade a shopping mall. I get the point that consumer/entertainment culture subsumes and mesmerizes us into a self-indulgent stupor, driving an innately self-destructive instinct that morphs us into insensate, ravenous sub/superhumans. But I had no idea that there was something else going on in Husk, an altogether more subversive ambition. By flipping the perspective around and taking the zombie's point of view, making him a thinking, feeling, sympathetic being, and doing it in a writing style that is vibrant and lively, Redekop is ironically transforming the sense-deadening, ultra-violent culture of the screen that obsesses millions upon millions of mostly young men into something that approaches art. Sheldon, or 'Shel' as he likes to be called (ha ha) is a gay zombie with a heart. We know this from the first pages when he awakens mid-autopsy, his organs removed from the cavern of his body, and after ripping the arms off the attendant and getting ready to flee, hesitates to retrieve his blood-pump from the floor; he may not physically need it, but he won't leave it behind. Husk is a also scathing satire of the celebrity industry that feeds the pop-culture meat-grinder; shlock-producing directors and manipulative agents, 'reality' tv that isn't real, and talk shows that are dysfunctional freak-shows. This, as it turns out, works to the advantage of a zombie actor trying to resuscitate a moribund career. Redekop is a smart, prodigiously talented prose stylist. He takes gleeky (geeky + glee) delight in describing biological matters, for instance, exactly how the zombie who has no functioning organs, whose veins are filled with formaldehyde and whose muscles should be useless atrophied slabs, manages to move, speak, eat and defecate. And that's another of the many pleasures in reading this novel; Reading about someone whose basic bodily functions provide a challenge reminds us that we are feeling, breathing, flesh and blood beings who can rejoice in the miracle of our bodily capacities. I know this doesn't sound like much of an insight, but part of Redekop's literary achievement is to show how we've lost touch with our essential physical selves in a world in which so much of our time is spent in our own headspace, in front of a screen, in the realm of virtual reality, or subsumed in glossy celebrity image-based media. Maybe pop-culture is ultra violent and sexually charged precisely because we so desperately crave genuine physical experience, the ultimate irony. My one gripe with the novel is the ending. While Redekop brilliantly walks the fine line between high art/low culture for most of the novel, in the concluding sections he succumbs to self-indulgence with a climax that matches Black Ops 2 for absurd over-the-top grotesqueness. The core of the story, Sheldon and the fascinating questions he raises about human frailty and the nature of consciousness, gets lost in a torrent of horrorshow violence mimicking a CGI-generated movie.

One last note. My Amazon-ordered copy arrived with inconsistent print quality, some pages were faded. Fortunately, the publisher offers a digital copy free with proof of purchase of a print copy. For a guy like me whose eyes aren't what they used to be and who reads by a dubious bedside light, the ability to enlarge font is a godsend. (less)

Writing a zombie novel must be difficult enough these days, but writing one from the zombie's point-of-view and keeping it from falling apart at the seams must be doubly difficult. I've read a couple that did the zombie tale that way well, and a couple not so well. So when I received a review copy of this novel, I had to wonder in which column Corey Redekop's efforts would fall.

Sheldon Funk is dead. The Toronto native and aspiring actor died on the toilet in a public transit bus, then woke up during his own autopsy. Oh, he's dead alright, just not entirely dead. After shambling out of the morgue and finding his way back to his old apartment, Sheldon tries to piece together the memories in his rotting brain, and reconcile that he's not only bitted a morgue worker, but devoured a former lover to boot. And that's just his first day of being a zombie. From there, Sheldon tries to salvage his life, particularly his acting career with the all-too-ordinary stage name of Gary Jackson. Poor Sheldon has been a bit of a disappointment in life up to this point, and it's ironically through his death that he earns a resurgence in his career. It's a bit tragic in a sense though, as he's broke, wallowing in obscurity, constantly trying to cope with his decaying form, watch his aging mother succumb to senility, and otherwise lead a desperate and lonely life. And then when people find out who he is, his existence is compromised in ways he couldn't have anticipated.

And yet Husk is a macabrely humorous novel.

Redekop's satiric look at acting and fame in general is pretty good, and made funnier by the ghastly depictions of Sheldon's attempts to navigate his life as newly famous zombie. The inner monologue of a guy who is literally rotting away was interesting, and provided a lot of the social commentary for the book. The opening chapter that has Sheldon contending with escaping the morgue while trying to hold his disemboweled body together is gruesome and outright hilarious at the same time. There were a few moments that the book seemed to lose its momentum, but tended to pick up with each new section. Incidentally, the sections are split up as the various stages of dealing with death, like denial and bargaining.

If you're a reader who is zombied out, you may still want to give it a chance for the humor, though you will need a strong stomach for the occasional gory depictions. If you're insatiably seeking some horror peppered with comedy though, I think Corey Redekop might just have the book for you. I just hope you're not squeamish.(less)

Humourous take on the zombie genre. This is a story about a thinking man's zombie. Some people will like the development and riff on the zombie genre, while others might not.

Pros- Canadian zombie novel, set in Toronto, and the main character is an actor. :)

I thought the story was good, but the book had way too much intestines, gore and entrails for me. Yes, it's a zombie novel. I guess I'm really more of a vampire person. :)

Step aside Rudy Wiebe, Sheldon Funk is a Canadian Mennonite with one hell of a frontier story. Funk is a gay and vegan zombie. Still equipped with most of his memories and an elderly mother in need of care, Funk must square off what’s left of his humanity against his new-found taste for human flesh. Even mom seems appetizing. Funk proves himself a zombie for all seasons.
