The town of Lake Woebegotton, MN is a small town, filled with ordinary (yet above average) people, leading ordinary lives. Ordinary, that is, until the dead start coming back to life, with the intent to feast upon the living! Now this small town of above average citizens must overcome their petty rivalries and hidden secrets in order to survive an onslaught of the dead.

“This is the second best fictional novel about a real-life Minnesota town ever written.”
— Vore Gidal, author of Brainerd
“I thought this was going to be a book about the rapture... I was wrong.”
— Sister Alissa M. Smith, Professor of English, The College of St. Scholastica
“There are many reasons to leave Minnesota. Many of them can be found in the pages of this book.”
— Dob Bylan, wayward son of Hibbing, MN
“If Geillor tries any of his literary pastiche bullshit with my dad’s cartoon characters, I will sue the hell out of him!”
— Charles S. Mulchz Jr.
“I’m just glad Mr. Geillor set his book in Lake Woebegotten and not Bemidji—We have enough trouble attracting tourists.”
— The Bemidji Area Chamber of Commerce
“I’ve never really liked Harrison Geillor... I thought he was kind of stuck up and twee, and he did horrible impressions of me! But this book is fucking funny.”
— Gesse Bentura, former professional wrestler, actor, and politician

About the Author:
Harrison Geillor was born in a small three-room farm house in central MN, sometime in the middle of the twentieth century. He attended one of Minnesota's prestigious institutions of higher learning, were he obtained a degree in English. Like English majors everywhere, he wanted on to work in a variety of jobs that had nothing to do with books or literature. At some point in his life he decided that the best way to appreciate Minnesota was to appreciate it from afar. He splits his time between Santa Cruz and San Francisco, only returning to Minnesota for smelt fishing, and the occasional family reunion.
From AudioFile:
Listeners won't know what to fear in this parody: the zombies, the serial killer, or the uncanny performance by Phil Gigante, in which he sounds strikingly similar to Garrison Keillor of Lake Wobegon fame. When an asteroid causes the return of the dead, the residents of Lake Woebegotten, Minnesota, band together to fend off the undead herds. Unfortunately, it is the citizenry who are the bigger problem. Though this is a satire of the zombie narratives of recent years, Geillor manages to spin a zombie story that is surprisingly better than many. Gigante delivers it with all the vocal quirks found in Keillor's speaking patterns, including a deeply throaty voice and a tendency to let words linger. L.E. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
