The Wrath of Con!

by Dan
Fiction + Humour / May 18, 2010

From Quirk Books, the people who brought you Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, and Dawn of the Dreadfuls, comes sci-fi/zombie/comedy/adventure Night of the Living Trekkies!

Following a group of rag-tag Trekkies getting together for the fifth annual GulfCon (billed as the “largest Starfleet Convention in the western Gulf Coast region”), our heroes (armed only with prop phasers) soon find themselves defending their hotel and convention centre against hordes of flesh-eating undead!

The book is packed with hundreds of gags referencing Star Trek, Star Wars, comic books, and fan conventions. According to our friends at Quirk, it reads like the strange lovechild of Galaxy Quest and Dawn of the Dead."

Oh yes.  

Night of the Living Trekkies will be available from Raincoast this fall. But in the meantime you can find out more information about the book on Facebook.

(Night of the Living Trekkies is an original work of parody and is not officially sponsored by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the owners of the Star Trek®) brand.)
