Halloween is upon us.
It is on this fateful night that we find Beatrice, Molly, and Mallory, the pop music group known as Angora Napkin, running behind schedule for their performance at the big Halloween bash.
Taking a short cut on a dark, twisted mountain road, the girls cross paths with one of the wandering dead and offer him a lift to a secret underground party. It is there that they are introduced to a lonely, misunderstood zombie boy named Dennis who they unwittingly convince to eradicate life on Earth in order to keep the party of the undead going for all eternity!
Will Angora Napkin be able to set right the horror they’ve unleashed upon humanity and still make the show on time, or will we all become worm food in the wake of the new zombie apocalypse?
My Thoughts 
Angora Napkin is a terrific graphic novel. The color style is especially eye-catching, done in black and white with splashes of blue tones. And the artwork is awesome! Each panel, no matter how simple it may look at first glance has so much going on, the detail really is amazing. The storyline is a little bit of quirky, a splash of weird and lots of fun. This book seemed like the perfect intro to the characters and I would love to see more further adventures with them. Some stories about how they got where they are would be cool – I’d really enjoy more about what made Mallory such a train-wreck of awesome, I could totally see her history being something along the lines of: Once known as the sweetheart of the island, Mallory couldn’t live up to her beloved fans, changing her name, and leaving Green Gables behind, Mallory found peace in the arms of drugs, alcohol and the undead! But hey I’m just a reader, check out the real creator of Angora Napkin Troy Little on his website – Caffeine & Sleep Deprivation V2.0 - Oh and do browse the archives from his old blog too!

Zombies, rock-n-roll AND Canadians! What's not to love about that? I've been trying to figure out which graphic novel to read next and this just might be it. Like the splash of blue with the black and white--very eye catching.
Glad you enjoyed!
This looks really cute. I have not read many graphic novels, but I am slowly trying to read more, and I am always looking for good recommendations, so thanks for posting this!
Another good book I haven't seen elsewhere! When I think of PEI I don't think of zombies :) I've added this one to my list - I think I'll like it, and I know my daughter will.
Hey, did you know this is the first review of my book I've come across? I was starting to think I hit a flat note!
So, THANKS JOANNE!!!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I agree with the Comic Hunter, he has a very unique style! It sounds like an interesting story too.
Ack - not another one! This sounds great, too. Sigh. :-p
