Book Review: Night of the Assholes, by Kevin L. Donihe

In an era when the peak of mainstream literary weirdness has been the addition of zombies to classic (and not-so-classic) texts (i.e. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Pat the Zombie, Fifty Shades of Grey and Zombies, etc.), Kevin L. Donihe bucks the trend by taking the essential zombie text, George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, and removing the zombies, turning the threat instead to assholes. Yes, you heard me right, assholes--drunken soccer hooligans, Rohipnol-slipping jocks, catty cheerleaders, mean-spirited mall cops, flatulent old ladies, neo-Nazis, and so on--have overrun the earth in Donihe's Night of the Assholes, cornering a small cadre of survivors in a remote farm house (with a remarkable supply of lumber for boarding up windows). And the most terrifying part? You can't fight assholes, or you risk becoming an asshole yourself. Absurdist and hilarious, Night of the Assholes is ultimately a cathartic novel for anyone who has ever felt that they were surrounded by assholes. Recommended. You're either going to love this book, or... well, you know what you are.
