Talk about worst fears realized.
I work in public service. I am around assholes all day. When five o’clock rolls around, though, I get to go home, wash my hands of them, and settle into my relatively tranquil home environment. I’m pretty good at dealing with assholes. Some of my coworkers have nightmares, because assholes are that bad.

Night of the Assholes only confirmed something I all ready knew: the world is full of assholes.
Myself included.
It also confirmed that assholery is contagious. If you're an asshole to an asshole in Night of the Assholes, then you become an asshole yourself. I believe that in real life it is the other way around, but this formula works very well for Night of the assholes.
This book reminded me of our own race and how every one of us would probably be like the asshole More...

Being a zombie lover, I thought this parody of Night of the Living Dead sounded like the book for me. I was partly right. There were moments that were hilarious and had me quoting lines to anyone sitting near me. But there were others that had me scratching my head and wondering what the hell was going on. Overall, it was interesting and funny, but I probably won't read it again.

Ever watch The Jersey Shore? Did it make you feel like boarding up your windows? Did it make you cry a little for the future? Maybe I'm just paranoid. Maybe it's okay for us to live in a world of anger, incivility and raging ids. Kevin Donihe doesn't think so. Zombies can be scary, sure, but there's something really scary in the person who's mean at you for no reason, the person who's contentious about everything and the person who just won't let you be. Compared to these critters, zombies are a

This is a book for people who have seen Night Of The Living Dead. Last time I checked, that was everyone on earth but me.
Yup, yet another shameful facet of my colossal cultural illiteracy. I don't have anything against zombies -- although I do feel better when they're not around -- and I'm sure I'll see the movie someday. I don't hate movies either, I just don't put as much time into movie watching as ... everyone else on earth.
But enough about me! Let's talk about you! More...

You’re probably thinking: more zombies? C’mon! But Night of the Assholes is far more disturbing than any mere zombie story. Kevin Donihe takes a surreal perspective to Romero’s genre, as well as tons of gore and an emotional punch that takes the horror to another level. In this world, people are transforming into various types of assholes. They can be all sorts of things, from football players to frat boys. But they’re all obnoxious, rude, selfish, and aggressive. The asshole plague spread

This book definitely has a fun concept and the bizarro universe is the perfect place for it to run wild. I don’t want to be a party pooper here, because clearly people really enjoyed the book, and to a degree, I did as well. I just didn’t love it. I found a lot of repetition and random weirdness that didn’t seem to serve the story except to try and outdo the oddity that came before it. Many characters were annoying and quite a few scenes overstayed their welcome. The dialogue, also, was kin

Rarely do I find a book that I cannot put down. Then I found Bizarro. THEN I found "Night of the A$$holes." Even more rarely do I read something that leaves me with a case of the heebie-jeebies afterwards (in a good way, that is.)
I have to say, I didn't know what to expect but held high expectations with this story because of all the positive reviews I had read. Those expectations were met, and exceeded, and those reviews were well deserved! It's twisted, comical, and I wa More...

This gem of Bizarro fiction is, of course, a parody of Romero's "Night of the Living Dead." Since I love Romero and love Bizarro, this novella gives me a really big happy. Instead of zombies, people are transforming into "jerks" (which is a benign euphemism for what they really are). The main characters, Barbara and Todd, must contend with hordes of snotty cheerleaders, drunken soccer fans and *egads* frat boys. The only way that these "jerks" can be killed is both

The basic premise of this book is that the world is overrun by assholes. They are football hooligans, douchebags, cheerleaders, security guards, bitchy old women, rednecks, frat boys, date rapists, perverts (but I repeat myself), and just regular crazy fucks with road rage. In itself, this is not a profound idea. Writing a book about zombies is not especially clever either; everybody's doing it these days. What makes this book brilliant is taking this common daily expression "I'm surrounded

If this were to actually happen, a plague of assholes overrunning the world (a la Night of the Living Dead), I would be their king, or at least a Lt. Colonel. I'd have some kind of rank.
In this story, assholes are everywhere. If you're an asshole to an asshole, then you become an asshole as well. The only way to stop an asshole is to ram a pole up said asshole's asshole. But aim carefully, for if you miss the asshole's asshole, then you will become an asshole.

Night of the A**holes might be the first book of the a**hole apocalypse. The characters in this book are threatened not by the undead, but by a**holes. How you become an a**hole: being an a**hole to an a**hole. The only way to kill an a**hole: skewering an a**hole in the a**hole. It's a parody of Night of the Living Dead (awesome), it's written by Kevin L. Donihe (more awesome) and it features an invasion of a**holes (unimaginably awesome). This book has everything you could ever want, a**hole

This book is sort of like the reverse of Carlton Mellick's 'Zombies and Shit'. Where Mellick’s book is a Battle Royale narrative with zombies, Kevin Donihe’s book is a zombie narrative with assholes. Instead of zombies. So it’s not really about zombies. In Night of the Assholes, Kevin reworks the zombie apocalypse into something that’s altogether more relatable. People acting like assholes, and that rude, boorish behaviour catching on. It’s delightfully decadent, as the main characters try to av

I have to agree with John Skipp when he wrote that Night of the Assholes would be a great book to turn into a movie, not that surprising I guess since its an excellent parody of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead.
Without trying to give too much away, I would ditch the weird clock and rooms...I personally did not feel that these elements fitted in with the books main narrative and almost felt added to up the bizarro factor.
But this is a mater of personal taste and does n More...

Amazing! This is a book that had to be written. Reading this book reminded me of every trip I take to Wal-Mart. And despite being an absurd premise, all of the monsters are true to life. And that's what makes this book truly scary and relatable. Don't be an asshole, buy this book.

It's like Night of the Living Dead. Only with douchebags, pricks and assholes instead of zombies. And if you rage against them, YOU become one of them *shudders*.

A bizarre parody of George A Romero's Night Of The Living Dead. Funny premise with mixed results - sometimes humorous, sometimes crude and vulgar, sometimes surreal. Read at your own risk...

A parody of Night of the Living Dead. Right on. But what's next? May I suggest a Richard Matheson parody too? I Am Asshole. Or even better: The Omega Asshole!
