The Death and Life of Schneider Wrack

A strangely fun book (technically two books in one) in which a librarian and a mercenary join forces leading to a zombie uprising on a trawler. Then things get really weird...
I was hooked from the start - what an opening - and continued to enjoy Crowley's bizarre tales and grotesquely explicit descriptions. Plus there's the heart-warming theme of friendship and accepting people for who they are, even if they no longer have hearts. Not for the squeamish but anyone who likes fantasy fiction and isn't opposed to a bit of gross out horror should seek this out.
