Going beyond the psyche of "the monster," Joyce Carol Oates invites herself into the mind of a murderer, thus making him downright human again. A wholly disturbed and unpleasant human, but unmistakably vulnerably sentient nonetheless. Quentin P. is like any one of us in that sense, at least. Zombie is a diary of sorts. The owner/writer of this diary is Quentin P. (who frequently refers to himself by initials alone, and to others solely by initials or - in special cases - cutesy nicknames). Those not aware of the entries therein (i.e. every other living person mentioned within the pages) know Quentin as an agreeable guy, or Q_ P_ CARETAKER of theunofficial collegiate rooming house inhabited solely by students of foreign extraction. Fewer still recognize him as a "recovering" alcoholic, or as He Who Molested A Teenaged Boy. None but Q_ P_ himself - and, briefly, his narrow focus of victims - knew anything else. In short, Q_ P_ wants to have his own sexual "zombie" and goes through the motions of everyday life as much as he dilligently researches the methodology of creating such an entity. A mindless drone to worship him, to willingly grant whatever he requests, all without seeing him from behind their dull, unthinking eyes. Clearly based on the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer, this anti-heroic tale presents the sickeningly obsessive impulses of the modern serial killer in a way so few other works of fiction have: as seen from the absolute inside. To call it "unsettling" does not adequately portray the horrors awaiting the reader within this slim tome. Ms. Oates takes the time not only to basely illustrate the text in several places (a quick freehand diagram of the rear of Quentin's "All-American" van, for instance, or the fractional sketch of the burning of a young Q_ P_'s porngraphic magazines), but also to select the most appropriate typeface with which to "reprint" the diary. Zombie is a non-stop flight into horror with a madman as the pilot. And with you, the reader, serving as unwitting co-pilot.
