“A Very Stable Zombie” by Robert Stahl

Reviewed by Victoria Silverwolf

“A Very Stable Zombie” by Robert Stahl is a brief comedy in which a businessman is revived from the dead, becomes a reality television star, and is later elected President of the United States. The intended target of the author’s satiric pen is made absolutely clear in many ways. How readers react may depend on their political opinions. In any case, there is little else to this miniature spoof than its allegorical premise.
