Taking up clues scattered through Thompson’s published articles and letters, the novel links Thompson’s years as a reporter in South America; his failure to cover “The Rumble in the Jungleâ€; his mysterious side trip to Laos during the last days of the Vietnam War; the obsession with firearms, cocaine, and peacocks . . . connections between the CIA, the United Nations ban on biological weapons, Richard Nixon, and the walking dead—all will be explained.
Combining deep research and a bedrock commitment to style, Fear and Loathing of the Undead is a finely crafted work blending documented fact, historical fiction, zombie horror, and of course Gonzo Journalism.
