This debut novel has zombies in it and sounds like a hoot!
Bad Taste in Boys Delacorte/Random House
Super-smartie Kate Grable gets to play doctor, helping out her high school football team as a student trainer. Not only will the experience look good on her college apps, she gets to be close to her quarterback crush, Aaron. Then something disturbing happens. Kate finds vials that makes her believe the coach has given the team steroids. Except...the vials don’t contain steroids. In fact, whatever is in them is turning hot gridiron hunks into mindless, flesh-eating...zombies!
Unless she finds an antidote, no one is safe. Not Aaron, not Kate’s brother, not her best friend...not even Kate.
It’s scary. It’s twisted. It’s sick. It’s high school.
What inspired Harris to write the story:
"I like taking a bunch of completely unrelated ideas and mashing them all together like a lunatic math problem. I call it Monster Math, because I'm witty like that. Anyway, BTIB happened something like this:
(Zombies + the dead football players from Beetlejuice + weird science) / high school geekery = Bad Taste in Boys
Sadly enough, I have a lot of fun coming up with ideas like this. I think I need to get out more.
BAD TASTE IN BOYS
Someone's been a very bad zombie...
Bio: Carrie Harris is a geek-of-all-trades and proud of it. Brains are her specialty; she used to work in a lab where they were delivered daily via FedEx. After that, it seemed natural to write a zombie book. Now she lives in Michigan with her ninja-doctor husband and three zombie-obsessed children.
