It's Zombies vs. the KKK in Allied Zombies for Peace. This novel discloses the explosive 42-minutes that transpired during the 1968 Veteran's Day Parade in Columbus, OH. Sparks fly when the Allied Zombies for Peace, a civic organization with sights on undead enfranchisement come to blows with the KKK, their long-time rival. Meanwhile with amped up tension between marching Vietnam War Veterans and members of an anti-war movement known as the New Revolutionaries for Peace and Love, also demonstrating in the parade, the streets of Columbus turn into an all-out war zone. Allied Zombies for Peace presents an interesting alternate history perspective in true thriller, pulp fashion. The zombie rules are broken and urban combat breaks out into undead chaos. As far as civil rights historical fiction, Allied Zombies for Peace might feature monsters, but the kernels of the civil rights movement rest at the core of this fast-paced scary book. Author's Note The late 60's is one of the most turbulent time periods in American history. In the year 1968 many shaping events, most of them to the detriment of the nation, occurred. Among those events: Martin Luther King, Jr. is assassinated, Robert F. Kennedy is assassinated, the battle of Khe Sanh in Vietnam occurs where American soldiers unnecessarily kill hundreds of innocent people, the Tet Offensive occurs, police clash with anti-war protestors at the Chicago Democratic Conference. I chose the American mid-west, 1968 as the setting for my civil rights historical fiction novel, Allied Zombies for Peace. It's easy to argue that this pulp thriller has nothing to do with civil rights and the making of America due to the fact that the story features tons of zombie chaos. I argue otherwise. In the thrall of undead urban combat that lights up the bulk of this story, one can see the true sentiments of the civil rights movement. The zombie fallout with the KKK could just as easily be pinned on another true-to-life faction of the era. The entire novel takes place within a 42-minute time period. One can't even read the book in real time. The story bounces between the perspectives of zombies, Klansmen, Nam vets, policemen, and anti-war demonstrators. This became difficult as an author. I had to balance a whole pallet of stories while limiting my characters to a reasonable number. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did writing it.

Review
"Allied Zombies For Peace is a terrific debut novel from a talented writer. It is everything that one would want in zombie horror."
-TheInsideMag.comCraig Nybo is the Norman Rockwell of gory monster adventure fiction.
I've read two of Craig's novels (his earlier foray into similar space -- "just your average zombies versus the KKK story," as he likes to say -- was Allied Zombies for Peace, a breakneck 42-minute romp through a small town holiday parade that goes to hell with the throwing of an anarchist's bomb and ends up with divisions of WWI vets, WWII vets, Vietnam vets, zombies, and the Ku Klux Klan going to the mat in real time), and here's what I think the Craig Nybo, Novelist, brand is:
MONSTERS
ACTION
AMERICANA
Nybo likes small American towns and small-town institutions (diners, parades, sheriffs, local papers), almost to the point of being cliched. I don't view that pressing against the boundary of the hackneyed as being a bad thing, actually -- I think Nybo knows what he finds evocative and powerful and he goes for its heart, willingly taking the risk that a reader might say "aw, I've seen this before."
Except that the reader hasn't seen this before, unless he's been watching a lot of B monster movies and re-imagining them into the settings ofGoonies or Doc Hollywood. Nybo's newer novel (I think a third may be imminent, and the teaser at the back of Small Town Monsters suggests that Nybo's continued to put down roots in his brand) is set in rural Montana, and follows an ensemble cast (though principally the Chief of Police, relocated from California and constantly butting up against small town secrets and prejudices, and a young woman with a brutal father and a need to get out of town) through their scrambling reactions as the town experiences the return of an old nightmare it had thought dead and buried: werewolf killings.
It would be easy to turn his small town settings and characters either into cynical critiques of America or shiny two-dimensional posters inviting you to go fishing in the Big Sky Country, and it is to Nybo's great credit that he does neither. Like David Byrne at his best, Nybo seems to contemplate America with pleasure and, at the same time, an awareness of imperfections. That combination of affection and realism keep the stories gripping and fresh and prevents them from feeling like some kind of moralistic attack on the American small town.
I can't wait for the next one.
From the Author
I am thrilled to announce the audiobook release of my novel, Allied Zombies for Peace. When I set out to write this book, I wanted to do something unique. The entire story takes place in 42 minutes. But it took me just over 8 hours to read it as an audiobook.
Allied Zombies for Peace is about an undead civil rights group who marches for the 4th year in a row behind the KKK. Zombies of the AZP find this disconcerting because they have been fighting for enfranchisement for years. When they march behind the Klan, their goal of awareness for zombies who are committed to peace is foiled. The Klan marchers rile up the crowd and at least some of that resentment spills over onto the zombies. The whole situation blows up into an out-and-out brawl. And this brawl only takes 42 minutes to run its course.
The story of zombies vs. the Klan by itself doesn't take 8 hours to tell. There are other factions in play. Allied Zombies for Peace takes place in 1968, a year when America seemed to be coming apart at the seams.
- 1968 featured the following events:
- The Tet Offensive in Vietnam
- 3 college kids killed at a civil rights protest in Orangeburg, South Carolina
- Militant activism protests at Howard University in Washington, D.C.
- Martin Luthor King Jr. Assassinated
- Robert F. Kennedy Assassinated
- Black militants shoot it out with police in Cleveland, Ohio
- Police battle against protestors at the Democratic Convention in Chicago
What better place and time to place a zombie civil rights massacre than in the 1968 Veterans Day Parade in Columbus, Ohio? In this book, along with AZP demonstrators, tension also exists between Vietnam War protestors and recently returned veterans. Even further, the Columbus Police Department has its own problems. A recent internal affairs investigation has caused a rift in politics that blights the police's ability to respond to a full-scale riot. There is further tension between micro factions within the Klan. Some believe the Klan should become legitimate and less violent while others call for mass-scale violence.
All in all, when I wrote Allied Zombies for Peace, I had to break the overall 42-minute event into sub-stories, police against protesters, Nam vets against protestors, zombies against KKK. I hung each story on a few representative characters within each faction and wrote them somewhat autonomously. Once I had all of the stories written, I worked them together into more or less chronological order.
This wasn't easy. I had to manage a lot of characters and try to make them memorable for readers. I had to juggle several stories and keep them all interesting. I had to resolve every point of conflict I opened up. In the end, I am pretty proud of this book.
The zombies are somewhat marginalized and play second fiddle to a larger story. I like that. I didn't want to use zombies as a gimmick so I created very human versions of them.
I had fun reading this novel into audiobook form. I hope you enjoy it. Be sure to leave an honest review at Amazon and Goodreads. It means a ton to me.
See you on the next adventure.

No Holds Barred
By Big Dave
If your idea of great fiction is the account of a boy who can't make short term memories and a German Shepherd that questions its sexuality watching a series of sunsets together and coming to a shared but unspoken epiphany about life, you'd better pass on this one. This book is about zombies.
Also, anarchist troublemakers, hippies, Viet Nam vets, World War I vets, local cops, and the KKK, all mixed up together in a terrifying event history knows as the Veterans Day Parade Massacre. Molotov cocktails, zip guns, police batons, bayonets, and more swing into action in a relentless, tongue-in-cheek, unpretentious tale of civic mayhem. Allied Zombies for Peace doesn't care why there are zombies any more than it cares what the literature professors might think -- it's like a really great B movie, that starts tense, explodes early, and never takes a break.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scream, but you'll never put this book down.
By Dungeon Crawlers Radio
Lets start by saying I thoroughly enjoyed reading Allied Zombies for Peace by the hilarious author Craig Nybo. The premise of this book is Zombies seek equal rights.. Nybo's novel pits an undead civil rights group against the KKK during a 1968 Veteran's day parade. Throw in a tough as nails faction of Vietnam War veterans, a group of peace loving hippies, a smattering of World War I veterans and the Columbus, Ohio Police Department and an otherwise patriotic parade turns into an unfettered slugfest.
In a zombie loving culture, with such blood-letting offerings as The Walking Dead, World War Z, and countless straight to video movies, it might seem that everything that can ever be done with the undead has already been done. But zombie lovers crave more. This novel pushes the genre by introducing a group of reasoning, thinking zombies.
I’ve had the opportunity to talk with Craig and this is what he had to say about the novel. "The whole novel takes place in a 42-minute time period," said Nybo. "I wanted to write a scorcher, a book that feels like it is going to start on fire right in your hands as you read it. I think this novel is a lot of fun. These zombies just want to be like everyone else," said Nybo. "They want to vote. They want to run for office. And they have a lot to offer in the way of life experience because they can live forever as long as they are not violently killed."
But don't be mistaken; Nybo's zombies, although they represent a passive movement, still know how to bite! Allied Zombies for Peace features all of the violence and chewing zombie lovers have come to love and expect.
This book takes a lighthearted approach to the violence, which makes it a fun read, and not a constant wincer. Sure, it has its fair amount of violence; but that is all tempered by a kind of levity that makes the story more palatable, no pun intended.
This is a great book that you won’t regret picking up!

The Post-Modern Zombie Novel
By Murphy
To begin with, "Allied Zombies for Peace" is not Thomas Pynchon; however, it has the distinctive voice of a post-modern novel. I have been a zombie-genre fan for many years, especially enjoying George Romero's early work. It is a realm that naturally lends itself to social commentary, yet all that has been essentially abandoned in recent years. The current surge in zombie popularity has only lead to a rehash in the flogged trope of gore and violence. I had nearly given up. Enter Craig Nybo's "Allied Zombies for Peace."
To start into this novel, I will have to say it is a bit rough around the edges. But do not take that as a bad thing: This would be like angrily storming out of an Iggy Pop concert only to complain, "That didn't sound like Beethoven!" Having a Master of Arts in English degree, I have a firm understanding of the difference between "classical" literature and "punk rock" literature. I enjoy both for what they are and avoid criticizing the one for not being the other. Ultimately, bad writing is bad writing in any genre. Nybo, while giving us a "punk" novel, delivers a satisfying assault of refined pandemonium closer to Kathy Acker's "Blood and Guts in High School" than Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse."
"Allied Zombies for Peace" is a work of historiographic metafiction that places zombies, nearly discreetly, at the center of a Veterans' Day parade. Nybo judiciously utilizes a fragmented non-linear narrative to cover the scope of the mayhem as the novel spirals into a balanced miasma of violence, plot, and commentary. It is a re-imagining of Romero's "Night of the living Dead" rewritten by William Faulkner (possible title: "As I lay Undying").
Where the zombie genre has been represented, nearly ad nauseam, in film, the literature renaissance is in its infancy. It has come a long way since William Seabrook's 1929 travel novel "The Magic Island," but is still finding its voice. Recent works by Seth Grahame-Smith and Max Brooks have been huge steps forward for the zombie literary movement and "Allied Zombies for Peace" shambles somewhere between "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" and "World War Z." It is entertaining, violent, and referential to the society that spawned it. "Allied Zombies for Peace" is everything I could ever ask for with the printed undead.
