About the Book

Ron Watson wakes up one day to find himself dead. Yes, after an unplanned and unfortunate meeting on a Colorado highway with a semi-trailer truck carrying disposable diapers for orphaned babies, Ron Watson is now an everyday, run-of-the-mill divorced American zombie, with exactly two thoughts in his head: "Brains!" and "Vegas!" Sin City, land of dreamers, where Ron Watson goes to dream of being human again and to fit in amongst the drunken tourists, down-on-their-luck beggars and lights so bright that nobody will notice a zombie shuffling around. But Las Vegas has other plans for Ron, as it often does for its visitors, and once there he discovers that he may not be the Last Zombie Standing, becomes an Internet meme for no reason at all, and gets drunk, laid, and fed...all while struggling with age old questions: Can a zombie date a human without wanting to turn the human into a meal? Can a zombie be an adequate parent? Do zombie joke punchlines translate in a human world? Is modern celebrity status as vacuous, hollow, and fleeting as it appears? And most importantly, is it better to be human or zombie? The answer may surprise you. "Poignant, funny, and edgy. In his debut novel American Badass, Jeff Chacon takes us on a wild trip to Las Vegas. Instead of fear and loathing, we get humor and heart." - Jonna Gjevre, author of Requiem in La Paz. "Think you know all about zombies? Think again. In Chacon's mind they are principled, loyal friends and fathers with more than brains on their minds. And they are funny-above all else they are hilariously funny. Part zombie, part comedy, part social commentary, American Badass says as much about the living as it does the reanimated." - Jack Maness, author of Song of the Jawhawk "Ron Watson is my new hero. Sure, he's dead, but he's evolving (re-volving?). He eats only people we'd want him to eat, has enough couth to duct tape his own body parts together, and is trying to patch up old relationships - inadvertently forcing the question: Is it better to be a bad human or a good zombie? Strap in, bitches. This fresh, funny, irreverent Z-ride goes to 11." - Floyd Jones, author of the forthcoming novel Blueberry "I don't have to read it, I was sitting next to Jeff at Carnaval Court when he came up with everything." - Anthony Reynoso, co-author of E-Male: of Mouse and Men "BRAINS." - Ron Watson, Zombie
