Night of the Living Trekkies is a fantastically funny read, peppered with bits of Star Trek trivia. The premise of a gaggle of Star-Trek themed optimists trying to survive a zombie outbreak was a really neat way to explore genre conventions in science fiction. It was very meta in that vein, especially with the final page.
