"The
plot unfolds into a profound, witty, funny, and even heart-warming story, with
even, if possible a messianic theme... YES! in a zombie book! "
"This
book is wonderfully humorous, adventurous, and so enjoyable on so many levels.
It had my imagination stimulated, and my sense of humor absolutely entertained.
Without a doubt, one of the best stories I have read."
"From
beginning to end, "Zombies" captured me and made me wish I could
speed read so I never had to stop until the end. If only Ripper could see me
now, I would stand and applaud. Spectacular job!"
Runner-Up (2nd Place) General Fiction: 2014 Hollywood Book
Festival.
From the quirky and weird world of award-winning
author Jake Aurelian comes The Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse) of
Ripper the Clown: The Autobiography of an Unconventional Zombie—a chaotic and
satirical journey into your untypical zombie world told from the perspective of
an angry clown.
Ripper the Clown is an unpredictable cartoon character
come to life … a visionary, a renegade, a rogue … and a frustrated stand-up
comedian … that is, until Ripper’s murder (at a holiday festival) coincides
with a powerful tornado that, for reasons unknown, spawns the zombie
apocalypse. Ripper enjoys the notoriety of being the world’s first zombie until
an elderly zombie is brutally murdered at the hands of the living; Ripper’s
crusade for zombie justice leads to the second American Civil War—“The Cold War
V.2”—wherein our clown hero (using old zombie movies as stereotypical
inspiration) instructs, trains and commands an army of zombie clowns against
their living oppressors and the President of the United States, D.B. Cooper
(yes, a legendary criminal is in the White House).
The
Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse) of Ripper the Clown parodies and
redefines the popular zombie, horror and comic book genres, mixing biting humor
and pop culture references with social commentary and political satire. In his
alter-ego clown persona, Jake Aurelian has created an edgy, raw and violent,
yet complex, emotional, multi-dimensional character—one that is strangely
endearing and strangely relatable (as clichéd as it sounds) to readers and
audiences of all ages.

About
the author:
I
am an author of fiction and non-fiction, and since Summer 2012, my fiction
books have won eight international literary awards. On Halloween 2012, I took
an obscure character from my fiction, an angry clown named Ripper, and turned
the character into a stand-up comedy gimmick. Since that point, billing my
creation as a "cartoon character come to life," I've been doing
online spoof and pop culture videos, commercials and appearances.
To the best
of my knowledge, no other author has done anything remotely similar.
Before The
Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse) of Ripper the Clown: The Autobiography
of an Unconventional Zombie was officially published, it received 2nd place
for General Fiction at the 2014 Hollywood, California Book Festival (which
awards books that should be movies or TV shows). As the title indicates, The
Life & Mimes... is an "unconventional" zombie novel; laced with
extremely dark humor and an array of pop culture references, The Life
& Mimes... simultaneously
redefines and spoofs the zombie genre.
