After reading this book, you’ll never see marmots the same way again!

Maximus, 16 years old, is dis-gus-ted: for months he has been dreaming of going to the biggest metal festival in Europe, HellFestNoz. But here he is, on board the family Volkswagen suit, surrounded by his mother and his little brothers, heading to Haute-Savoie for a festival... of dog punks. The experience is going to be “deadly”, and not in the good sense of the term.
Maximus is far from imagining how deadly.
Because as soon as they arrive, he is the only one to notice small groups of marmots posted at the edge of the festival. Marmots with a moldy face and an evil look, who threaten him with an eloquent gesture of their claws every time he sees them. Maximus must soon realize that a bloodthirsty horde of marmot-zombies is about to descend on the carefree festival-goers!

The author

Chrysostome Gourio has been a philosophy teacher, a bookseller, a French-language sign interpreter and is now the author of several detective stories and children’s novels (Rufus le fantôme, Wilma la vampire,… published by Sarbacane Editions). He also practices fencing.

Strong points

A rock’n’roll horror comedy, in the spirit of Shaun of the Dead or Welcome to Zombieland.

A group of young heroes determined to fight against a horde of evil rodents, a confrontation as epic as it is unexpected!

A story punctuated by crazy dialogues and punk-rock music, until the Dantesque finale against Pluto the Archdevil himself.
