In the end, the zombie apocalypse was nothing more than a waste disposal problem. Burn them in giant ovens Bad optics. Bury them in landfill sites The first attempt created acres of twitching, roiling mud. The acceptable answer is to jettison the millions of immortal automatons into orbit.
Praise for Tony Burgess
". . . Burgess's prose is confident, poetic and even, at times, beautiful."
--49th Shelf
"Tony Burgess . . . is one of this country's most distinctive indie-alternative voices."
--The Toronto Star
"Burgess brings something original and fresh to the psycho-noir tradition . . . . With books like Waste, Bloody Women, The Disassembled Man and short stories like 'Hold You, ' 'Pillow Talk' and 'Carpaccio' it looks like the psycho-noir is experiencing a bit of a renaissance for those readers willing to seek them out and People Live Still in Cashtown Corners is a worthy addition. Recommended."
--Spinetingler Magazine
"After finishing People Live Still in Cashtown Corners, you won't know whether to applaud Burgess' impressively large literary cohones or arrange to have him committed to the nearest mental health facility."
--Paul Goat Allen, Barnes & Noble Community Blog
"Tony Burgess combines lyricism with graphic, cinematic violence."
--Quill & Quire
"Buy all his books."
--Now Magazine
Tony Burgess's first novel, The Hellmouths of Bewdley received universal critical praise and hailed the arrival of Canada's "splatter punk Stephen King." He was shortlisted for the Trillium Award for his novel, Idaho Winter. He is also the author of the infamous zombie epic, Pontypool Changes Everything, which was named Best Book of 1998 by Now Magazine (made into the film Pontypool). His story collection, Fiction for Lovers won the Relit Prize for best Canadian short fiction. His previous novel with CZP, People Live Still in Cashtown Corners is currently being made into a film by Foresight Features and Bruce McDonald.
