Rob Zombie Comments On Controversy Over His Gory New Children’s Spelling Book ‘Z Is For Zombie’

The murderous stars of Rob Zombie‘s ‘Firefly’ trilogy are featured in a gory new children’s styled spelling book dubbed ‘Z Is For Zombie: Learning To Spell With House Of 1000 Corpses Friends‘. Lead characters from Zombie‘s horror films ‘House Of 1000 Corpses‘, “The Devil’s Rejects‘ and ‘3 From Hell‘ are illustrated by Pete Bregman throughout this book, which seemingly spoofs the Little Golden Books series of children’s reading. As you’d expect given the source material, the featured spelling lessons cite examples rife with a gruesome horror theme.

That Zombie-penned book is available through Amazon and readneckbolt.com. Apparently, the grim nature of the illustrations and lessons has also caused a stir, as the British tabloid Daily Mail have made note of some uproar circulating online. Zombie himself responded to that article on his Instagram today, March 14th, stating, “Now this is hilarious! We are just trying to teach the children some good book learning.”

An official product listing for the book reads as follows:

‘It’s always more fun to learn with friends, especially when they’re House Of 1000 Corpses friends! Rob Zombie presents Z Is For Zombie: Learning To Spell With House Of 1000 Corpses Friends, where aspiring spellers can learn the important words and phrases properly. With support from positive role models like Captain Spaulding, Baby Firefly, Otis Driftwood, Professors, Doctors, and Rob Zombie himself, learning is just so damn good!’
