A Brain Is for Eating

A Brain is For Eating is a beautifully illustrated, playfully twisted book that teaches zombie children how to find their next meal. It’s a survival guide for the underserved youth of the post-apocalyptic population. The color illustrations accompanying the story are the work of artist Scott Brundage, whose drawings regularly appear in The Wall Street Journal and Scientific American. Scott places the book in the context of a of a long tradition of dark humorists like Edward Gorey, or Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes. It’s really a book for human adults, admits Brundage. But I’m sure there are some mature, non-zombie kids out there who can appreciate the macabre silliness of the story. Humor, science-fiction, counter culture.
