Night of the Living Dead Christian

4.5 stars

Short Review: There are no other humours Christian allegory writers quite like Matt Mikalatos. Who else tries to have a serious theological discussion about being transformed as a Christian in the midst of a farcical story about monsters. Mikalatos is a good and funny author. But what I really appreciate (and I think some will disagree with me on this) is that he does not try to hide his point in a story. Too many Christian fiction books try to write a story with a sermon hidden in it and it ends up feeling more like propaganda than a good story. Mikalatos writes an open allegory. We know what he is doing, he knows what he is doing. So it is a fun and interesting way to have a discussion about a Transformed Christian life in a format that allows him to do things he could not do in non-fiction. I really do recommend it. I think his writing feels a bit like Douglas Adams.
